Der Untergang (Amazon-Link*) ist vor 20 Jahre in die Kinos gekommen und hat Filmgeschichte geschrieben. Grund genug, um den Film mit Christopher von den Kulturpessimist*innen zu besprechen und zu fragen: Was hat Bernd Eichinger eigentlich mit dem Film vorgehabt? [YouTube Direkttrailer] Crew Regie: Oliver Hirschbiegel Drehbuch: Bernd Eichinger, Joachim Fest (Buchvorlage "Der Untergang: Hitler und das Ende des Dritten Reiches"), Traudl Junge und Melissa Müller (Buchvorlage "Bis zur letzten Stunde") Cast Bruno Ganz als Adolf Hitler Alexandra Maria Lara als Traudl Junge Corinna Harfouch als Magda Goebbels Ulrich Matthes als Joseph Goebbels Juliane Köhler als Eva Braun Heino Ferch als Albert Speer Christian Berkel als Prof. Ernst-Günther Schenck Thomas Kretschmann als Hermann Fegelein Ulrich Noethen als Heinrich Himmler Götz Otto als Otto Günsche Anna Thalbach als Hanna Reitsch Devid Striesow als Feldwebel Tornow Wir nähern uns diesem Film mit der Frage, was genau Bernd Eichinger eigentlich mit seinem Drehbuch und seiner Produktion vorhatte. Ist das hier eine verdichtete Aneinanderreihung von Szenen oder steht das alles exemplarisch für mehr? Wir bleiben uneins, haben aber ganz viel zu diskutieren. Am Ende erwähnen wir weitere Filme und Seherfahrungen zum Dritten Reich. Christopher hatte passend dazu eine Liste bei Letterboxd angelegt. Außerdem erwähnt: Bruno Ganz im Interview, die Kritiken von Michael Wildt und Wim Wenders, das Buch über Bernd Eichinger von seiner Frau Katja (Amazon-Link*) sowie der erwähnte Filmabend im Zeughauskino aus der Reihe "Zwischen Kriegsende und Neuanfang". Ihr findet Christopher bei Bluesky, Instagram und natürlich bei den Kulturpessimist*innen. In der nächsten Ausgabe wollen wir gleich zwei Themen auf einmal besprechen. Mit Thomas "TeeJay" Jaspers vom Kaijuland Podcast geht es um Avatar – Aufbruch nach Pandora (Amazon-Link*) und damit einerseits um den erfolgreichsten Film aller Zeiten, andererseits wollen wir auch ausgiebig über 3D-Filme sprechen. Thomas ist ein großer Fan und hat einige steile Thesen im Angebot!

"Who is the man you can't ignore, it's SUPERMAN! From Budapest to Baltimore it's SUPERMAN!" Alan and Rob are joined once again by long-time friend of the show Matt Truex as they delve into the weird and wonderful history of the ill-fated (and yet indestructible) 1966 Broadway musical version of Superman. Fascinating connections with the Superman movie series! Problematic villains! Questionable deviations from the source material! All of these oddities abound, culminating in what may in fact be the strangest piece of Superman media ever: the 1975 TV special adaptation of the musical! Get ready for some hot takes! Later, Matt unearths a diamond in the rough - the 2010 Dallas revival of the musical which heavily adapted the original book, creating a brand new story far closer to the Superman legend so near and dear to our hearts.

38:The Metal Maniacs Podcast - Bringing the Beatdown with Accuser of the Brethren Welcome, Metal Maniacs, to Episode 38 of our relentless exploration into the depths of the metal realm. This week, we're joined by Lansing's own Deathcore powerhouse, Accuser of the Brethren. As an extra treat, Jeremy McClary fills in for Nick, steering our conversation with Keato on vocals, Dustin on bass, Pockets on guitar, and Brandon on drums. Accuser of the Brethren, a Deathcore/Beatdown juggernaut hailing from Lansing, Michigan, is here to unleash their fury, drawing influences from Traitors, Bodysnatcher, and Kublai Khan. These guys are pissed off, and their music reflects it, bringing a level of intensity that will leave you breathless. We kick off the discussion by diving into their recent singles, starting with "Buried Deep" released in January 2023. This heavy Deathcore track with a low and cool sample at the end sets the tone for what Accuser of the Brethren is all about. Next up is "Random Acts of Violence" dropped in May 2023, featuring a cool bass/drum break and gang vocals that add a nice touch to the aggression. The band showcases their versatility with "Exit Wound" released in February 2024, complete with plenty of beatdowns. The accompanying video, conceptualized by Shawn Allen, is a must-watch, and Keatos vocals, unlike most Deathcore really allow the music to shine. Our conversation delves deep into the roots of Accuser of the Brethren, exploring what got them into metal, especially the extreme side of the genre. We discuss their influences, the inception of the band, and their writing process. Keato sheds light on how they develop their distinctive sound, emphasizing the importance of letting the music dictate the direction. Accuser of the Brethren's dedication is evident as we uncover their practice schedule and the meticulous process behind crafting their signature guitar tone. The band spills the beans on their gear preferences, highlighting specific pieces that have become favorites in their arsenal. Singles vs. albums is a hot topic, and Accuser of the Brethren shares insights into their approach, especially considering the impact of singles like "Buried Deep" and "Random Acts of Violence." The band takes us behind the scenes of their studio time and production, working with Tim Trevino of Fractured Audio, known for his work with Convulsis, Red Lord, and Recorruptor. Learn how they translate their studio mastery into a captivating live experience, leaving audiences in awe. Accuser of the Brethren reflects on their achievements from the past year, hinting at the excitement on the horizon. New material is teased, leaving us hungry for a potential full-length release that promises to be an auditory onslaught. As we wrap up the episode, we look ahead to what's next for AOTB. The band discusses their plans, ambitions, and the constant drive to push boundaries. Find out what's currently resonating in their playlists and get ready to be inspired by the relentless energy of Accuser of the Brethren. This is Episode 38 of the Metal Maniacs Podcast, where we peel back the layers of Lansing's Deathcore juggernaut, Accuser of the Brethren.

"Judas priest!" In our second and final special episode celebrating 30 years of "Lois & Clark", Rob is joined by long-time listeners and friends of the show Daniela Rod and Stuart Mulrain - both of whom watched and loved "Lois & Clark" outside the USA. We discuss our different experiences with the show, how it resonated with us and how uniquely different the show's marketing was in the UK especially (where it wasn't even called 'Lois & Clark'!). And we get Daniela and Stuart's Top 5 episodes! Top 5 moments! And of course their Top 5 GOOFY GUYS. RATE AND REVIEW THE SHOW ON APPLE PODCASTS, PODBEAN AND SPOTIFY, PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

"Great shades of Elvis!" Alan and Rob pay tribute to 30 years of "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" - a formative Superman TV series that is near and dear to their hearts.

"You and me get Superman, wanna know why? 'Cause we're from the streets." Rob and Alan pore through all three drafts of the legendary never-made film "SUPERMAN LIVES", examining each draft's huge differences and quirky charms. What surprising similarities do these scripts have with later Superman films? Would Nicolas Cage have triumphed as the Man of Steel or would he have gone down in history as the greatest miscasting in comic book cinema? Why a giant spider? What exactly did Jon Peters think Superman was? How great would the Kenner toyline for this film have been? Stay till the VERY end for this one! PLUS!

Shawn Allen is the co-founder of M@C Discount. Previously, he was President and GM of Asset Auctions, COO of AssetNation and Senior Product Manager of Giftcards.com which were all successful internet marketplace businesses. M@C Discount stands for Merchandise at Cost. The company buys truckloads of closeouts merchandise and customer returns from major retailers. They receive "New" and "Used" items that are sold individually at aggressive discounts, in-store and online. What's great is that all items in their online auctions start at $1 with no reserve price. His background in reverse logistics started by working at another company that was acquired by FedEx. The shipping company lost interest in that portion of the business, which was dealing with the returned items many retail stores accumulate. Shawn used his background in auctioneering and his partner Kellen's expertise in buying products in designing their current business model. In this episode, Aaron and Shawn talk about the rapid growth of his company, how they have done it profitably, and why auctions are such a great model for selling online.
