Podcasts about Show business

In unserer neuesten Folge von Napalm am Morgen – Der Filmpodcast gibt's wieder ordentlich was auf die Ohren – von epischen Sequels bis hin zu trashigen Blockbustern.Robbie Williams als animierter Affe? Genau das passiert in "Better Man", in dem Williams per Motion‑Capture von einem CGI-Schimpansen gespielt wird. Seine Begründung: "Ich bin im Showbusiness wie ein performender Affe". Wir diskutieren, ob dieses visuelle Experiment funktioniert.Ridley Scotts Monumental-Epos "Gladiator 2" mit Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal und Denzel Washington knüpft 24 Jahre nach dem Oscar-Megahit an. Blutige Arenen, politische Intrigen – das Sequel mag kein Meisterwerk sein, aber es liefert packendes Spektakel und eine grandiose Performance von Washington."Final Destiantion 4" ist wahrscheinlich der schwächste Teil der Kult-Horrorreihe (2009). Wir verraten, warum die übertriebenen Todesfallen hier eher ins Lächerliche abbogen statt Spannung zu erzeugen . Ganz großes Trash-Kino: Hai-Tornado im Großstadtchaos! "Sharknado" steht für cineastische Katastrophe mit Kultstatus – so schlecht, dass es schon wieder genial ist. Ben Affleck kehrt in "The Accountant 2" zurück als Christian Wolff. Der Action-Thriller auf Amazon Prime baut auf dem Original von 2016 auf und bekommt ein Buddy-Action-Update mit Bruder Jon Bernthal. Wir klären, ob das Sequel hält, was es verspricht. Hausaufgabe für nächste Woche: "Predator: Killer of Killers" (Disney Plus) #NapalmAmMorgen

Hi Everyone! Happy Tuesday. This week's episode is many months in the making! We recorded the first half of this interview with Brent Spiner back in January, but we were interrupted because Brent had to evacuate from his home in the Palisades during the Los Angeles fires. We were finally able to get together— in person this time— to finish our conversation, but it was not without more interruptions (I'll let you watch and see what I mean). What can I say, I guess Brent and I are all about the drama! You know the great Brent Spiner from his performance as Data, starting with Star Trek: Next Generation and in many other Star Trek vehicles over the last 40 years. He's also a fantastic writer and character actor, and I'm glad we got to talk about some of his other work in this episode, including his book Fan Fiction, his role as Bob Wheeler on Night Court and his long career as an actor. I'm such a fan of Brent and I'm so glad to finally able to share this conversation with you! This week's Hindsight is pretty epic because my producer Jeph and I get into everything that went on behind the scenes to get this episode ready for release. Plus, we answer your fan questions from the Mailsack!

HAND AUFS HERZ - Musik, Gefühl & Präsenz – Im Gespräch mit Alexandra Janzen In dieser Folge habe ich eine ganz besondere Frau zu Gast: Alexandra Janzen – Sängerin, Songwriterin, DJane und die Stimme meines Podcast-Intros. 
Wir sprechen über Musik als emotionales Ventil, über echte Präsenz im Moment – und über den Mut, sich künstlerisch und menschlich immer wieder neu zu erfinden. Alexandra nimmt uns mit in ihre Welt: von den großen Bühnen als Frontfrau der Rockband ALEV, über die kreative Freiheit in Berlin, bis hin zu ihrer heutigen Arbeit, in der sie elektronische Beats mit Songwriting und Tiefgang verbindet. 
Ihr Weg zeigt: Veränderung ist kein Bruch, sondern Wachstum. Besonders sprechen wir über ihre neue Single „Rückenwind“ – ein Song, der wie eine Erinnerung an das bewusste Jetzt klingt. 
Wir sind so oft im Morgen, so oft im Gestern – aber das, was wirklich bleibt, entsteht genau jetzt. In einem Moment, der sich anfühlt wie Luft holen. Wie ein Neuanfang. Wie Rückenwind. Diese Folge ist eine Einladung, dir selbst zuzuhören – nicht nur mit dem Kopf, sondern mit dem Herzen. 
Denn Musik berührt genau dort, wo Worte manchmal enden. Alexandra lebt heute in Berlin, ist DJan mit Seele, wurde mit dem Newcomerpreis der Hanns Seidel Stiftungausgezeichnet und stand mit Künstler:innen wie Annett Louisan und Bodo Wartke auf der Bühne. 
Und doch bleibt das Wichtigste: Sie macht Musik, die bewegt. Und das auf eine ganz eigene, unverwechselbare Art. Lass dich mitnehmen – in den Moment. In die Musik. Und in das, was vielleicht auch in dir längst klingt.

Teil 1 unseres Talks mit Norbert Oberhauser - persönlich und ehrlich!

Aries Spears is a legendary comedian and impressionist who has been commanding the stage since the age of 14. Known for his breakout work on MAD TV and his savage crowd work, Aries has become renowned for his edgy, unfiltered takes and ability to reinvent his set with every performance. With a career spanning over 36 years, Aries draws inspiration from greats like Eddie Murphy, prides himself on quick wit and improvisational skills, and never shies away from exposing the raw realities of the comedy world. In addition to standup, he hosts the popular podcast "Spears and Steinberg," where he continues to push boundaries and spotlight real, unvarnished perspectives on entertainment and life. Takeaways: Resilience is Essential: Aries details the mental and emotional challenges of comedy, emphasizing that the business can "beat your spirit up," but staying in the game means believing in yourself, even when support from loved ones is lacking. Mastering Your Craft Means Versatility: Aries likens standup to being an all-star quarterback—you must have the material (playbook), but true greatness comes from the ability to improvise crowd work, proving you can win no matter what the audience throws at you. Legacy Is in the Eyes of the Fans: Despite feeling he hasn’t fully “arrived,” Aries acknowledges that comedians often become benchmarks for new generations, and sometimes strangers (fans) provide more validation and appreciation than family or the industry. Sound Bites: “If you’re going to be a complete comedian, you need to have all the facets of your game on point... there were no weaknesses in Mike [Michael Jordan].” “Hollywood is like an uncle that molested you but put you through college.” (quoting Chris Rock) “I never cut my comedy cocaine. I’ve always kept it 100% Bolivia Yayo... there’s nothing better than having that laugh you feel like you’re not supposed to have.” Quote by Mick: “You are to [my kids] what a Pryor and a Redd Foxx were to me… Everybody can’t go to where you and I were from a database of history and comedy. So you are that benchmark to a lot of people, bro.” Connect & Discover Aries: Website: https://ariesspears.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ariesspears/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ariesspears/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_Z6Tbjk4AesZwwGggZC7qQ FOLLOW MICK ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mickunplugged/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mickunplugged/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mickunplugged LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickhunt/Website: https://www.mickhuntofficial.com Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mick-unplugged/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Weird Al's debut single, "My Bologna," came out, there wasn't really a model for how a parody artist could have any longevity in their career. Yet Al's figured out how to stay popular for over four decades. Ahead of his summer "Bigger and Weirder" tour, he talks with Rachel about staying weird as he ages, parenthood, and his devoted (some might say obsessive) fans.

A Battle of Dreams goes sideways, Penn revisits a movie he hated and comes away with a different outlook, Penn & Teller ride the Goodyear Blimp, and more.

In this dystopian tale set in the year 2076, crimes against society are punishable by community service — in show business. A time traveler moves forward in time and discovers a future where the business is anything but entertaining; and where stunts and special effects often lead to death.

Screenwriting legend Zak Penn talks about how he got so savvy in the business of show.  We talk about how coming to LA and scouting out the city geared him up for his big move after college and his sale of “The Last Action Hero” started him on a 35 year journey of being one of Hollywood's most sought after writers. We talk about the good times with Speilberg, JJ Abrams, Shawn Levy, Ryan Reynolds, & Dwayne Johnson and we talk about the bad times with others. Bio: Zak Penn's career began as a screenwriter when he sold his first script, LAST ACTION HERO, at the age of twenty-three. Since then, Penn has become known for his work on numerous films based on Marvel comics, including X-MEN 2 and X-MEN: THE LAST STAND, ELEKTRA, THE INCREDIBLE HULK and THE AVENGERS. He has also dabbled in other genres, writing scripts for disparate films such as P.C.U., BEHIND ENEMY LINES and SUSPECT ZERO.Penn's shift into independent cinema began when he collaborated with his idol, Werner Herzog, on the script for RESCUE DAWN. Penn directed and co-starred with Herzog in INCIDENT AT LOCH NESS, his award-winning “hoax” documentary about the legendary director's attempts to make a film about the equally legendary monster. THE GRAND, Penn's second completely improvised film, was his third film with Herzog, and featured an eclectic cast including Woody Harrelson, David Cross, Ray Romano, Cheryl Hines, Dennis Farina and Gabe Kaplan.In addition, Penn co-wrote the original story for ANTZ and produced the animated film OSMOSIS JONES. He has also acted in a number of independent films, including STAR MAPS and CHUCK & BUCK. His first foray into television was the critically acclaimed original series ALPHAS starring David Strathairn. Penn directed the documentary ATARI: GAME OVER for Xbox Entertainment Studios.More recently, Penn adapted the New York Times bestselling novel READY PLAYER ONE for Warner Bros. Directed by Steven Spielberg, the film was released in 2018. Penn also co-wrote the script for the action comedy FREE GUY, starring Ryan Reynolds and Jodie Comer. The film is directed by Shawn Levy and was released in August of 2021.

BRUTALITY OF SHOW BUSINESS:  5/8: Charlie Chaplin vs. America: When Art, Sex, and Politics Collided by  Scott Eyman  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Scott-Eyman/dp/1982176350 Bestselling Hollywood biographer and film historian Scott Eyman tells the story of Charlie Chaplin's fall from grace. In the aftermath of World War II, Chaplin was criticized for being politically liberal and internationalist in outlook. He had never become a US citizen, something that would be held against him as xenophobia set in when the postwar Red Scare took hold. Politics aside, Chaplin had another problem: his sexual interest in young women. He had been married three times and had had numerous affairs. In the 1940s, he was the subject of a paternity suit, which he lost, despite blood tests that proved he was not the father. His sexuality became a convenient way for those who opposed his politics to condemn him. Refused permission to return to the US after a trip abroad, he settled in Switzerland and made his last two films in London. In Charlie Chaplin vs. America, Scott Eyman explores the life and times of the movie genius who brought us such masterpieces as City Lights and Modern Times. “One of the finest surveys of the man and the artist ever written” (Leonard Maltin) this book is “a sobering account of cancel culture in action.” (The Economist) 1921 CHAPLIN FAIRBANKS PICKFORD

Was passiert, wenn ein charismatischer Entertainer mit Vision und ein empathischer Manager mit Weitblick aufeinandertreffen? In dieser Folge erzählen Riccardo Simonetti und Tobias Koppenhöfer, wie sie sich vor über zehn Jahren zufällig kennenlernten – und bis heute ein unschlagbares Team bilden.

Warum war „Klinkenputzen“ am Anfang wichtiger als große Red-Carpet-Momente? Riccardo gibt Einblicke in seine Arbeitsethik, seine künstlerische Vielseitigkeit und den Traum vom großen Entertainer. Tobias zeigt, wie viel Feingefühl, Organisationstalent und Vertrauen es braucht, um als Manager hinter den Kulissen die Fäden zu ziehen – ohne Ellenbogen-Mentalität und immer auf Augenhöhe.Wer schon immer wissen wollte, was wahres Teamwork im Showbusiness bedeutet, wie man auch in turbulenten Zeiten einen kühlen Kopf bewahrt und wo sich Empathie und strategische Planung die Hand geben, sollte unbedingt reinhören. Ein Gespräch über gnadenlosen Fleiß, stetige Weiterentwicklung und die gemeinsame Vision, Show und Substanz unter einen Hut zu bringen – mit dem Blick auf internationale Ziele und viel Herz für soziales Engagement.Unser Werbepartner:Qonto ist das Online-Geschäftskonto mit integrierten Finanz-Tools.

We hear about Deanna's years growing up around the man known as The Hardest Working Man in Show Business when he wasn't on the road. We discuss his business acumen, his work for civil rights and his interest in helping the less fortunate. Deanna was transparent, honest, forthright and candid to say the least. We also hear some very funny as well as some very sad stories too. She really didn't hold back. From Eddie Murphy and Soul Train to her father's sudden passing, we hear it all. So sit back and let the daughter of Soul Brother Number One tell it like it is. Or was, growing up with a celebrity known the world over. It's Mrs. Please, Please, Please, next up on the Rarified heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.

Die Wirren und Tücken des Showbusiness verfolgen die Figuren in den höchst unterschiedlichen Filmen in dieser Episode. In „The Last Showgirl“ spielt Pamela Anderson eine in die Jahre gekommene Tänzerin in Las Vegas, die über ihre Zukunft nachdenken muss. Nicht nur die gefeierte Hauptdarstellerin brilliert in dem Film von Gia Coppola. Die gesamte Besetzung, der Style und der Soundtrack begeistern. In eine ganz andere Szenerie taucht „Kneecap“ ein, ein temporeicher Mix aus Fiktion und Fakten, der dem gleichnamigen jungen irischen Rapper-Trio folgt. Beim Talk über das vielgelobte Meta-Biopic bekommen Pia Reiser und Christian Fuchs vom FM4-Hip-Hop-Spezialisten Stefan "Trishes" Trischler Besuch im Studio. Als Bonus: Kurzkritiken zu „How To Be Normal“ und „The Assassment“ gleich am Anfang. Sendungshinweis: FM4 Film Podcast, 31.03.2025, 0 Uhr

Was passiert, wenn ein Bauernhof-Junge aus Bayern jeden erdenklichen Umweg nimmt, um schlussendlich die Popkultur Europas zu prägen? In dieser Folge erzählt Michael Späth von seinem kometenhaften Aufstieg: angefangen als einer der ersten Male Fashion Blogger in Deutschland, über seine Jahre bei Heidi Klum und GNTM, bis hin zur Brand-Strategie für erfolgreiche Creator wie die Elevator Boys.Wie schaffen es amerikanische Stars, immer wieder Trends für die ganze Welt zu setzen – und warum hinkt Europa oft hinterher? Welche Rolle spielen Themen wie Eskapismus, Work Attitude und konsequente Vernetzung, um im Showbusiness wirklich Fuß zu fassen? Michael zeigt, dass man sich manchmal ganz bewusst „neu erfinden“ muss – vom Blogger zur TV-Produktion hin zum kreativen Mastermind, das hinter den Kulissen Kulturen verbindet, neue Gesichter aufbaut und echte Hype-Momente erzeugt.Wer schon immer wissen wollte, was ein echtes „Pop-Kultur-Mindset“ ausmacht, weshalb Fleiß wichtiger ist als schnelles Geld und warum es sich lohnen kann, Synergien zwischen Weltstars und unbekannten Talenten zu schaffen, sollte unbedingt reinhören. Ein Gespräch über harte Arbeit, verrückte Moves in der Modewelt und den Traum, echte Aha-Momente zu inszenieren – über alle Branchen hinweg. Hosted on Acast.
