THE WORST SUPERMAN MOVIE?? Superman IV: The Quest for Peace Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order Andrew & Tara continue their SUPERMAN MARATHON in preparation for James Gunn's Superman as they hunker in for their Superman IV: The Quest for Peace Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson as they revisit Sidney J. Furie's ambitious 1987 capstone to the Superman saga, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. In a bid to rid the world of nuclear weapons, Superman (Christopher Reeve, Superman II, Somewhere in Time) addresses the United Nations—only to have his ideals mocked by Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman, The French Connection, Unforgiven), who escapes prison with his bumbling brother Lenny (Jon Cryer, Pretty in Pink, Two and a Half Men) and uses a strand of Superman's hair to create the unstoppable Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow). As nuclear arsenals surge and disaster looms, Superman must face his dark clone in a showdown of planetary stakes. Andrew & Tara break down every iconic moment—from the unforgettable scene where Superman gathers and hurls nuclear warheads into the sun, to the epic beachside duel with Nuclear Man on a wind-swept shoreline. Margot Kidder (Lois Lane, The Amityville Horror, Black Christmas) brings sparkle to every newsroom scene at the Daily Planet, joined by Jackie Cooper as Perry White (the world-weary editor from Superman, The People vs. Noah Drake) and Marc McClure as Jimmy Olsen (the ever-optimistic photographer of Superman II, Smallville). Don't miss Superman's daring roller-skate rescue of Lois, the UN nuclear debate, and the film's earnest message about hope and global unity.

Host Anthony Desiato and guest Nick Farina dig into the 1987 film SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE, the oft-maligned and infamously low-budget effort from producer The Cannon Group and director Sidney J. Furie. In Christopher Reeve's final outing as Superman, our hero seeks to rid the world of its nuclear arsenal and faces opposition from Lex Luthor and his creation, Nuclear Man.View Aaron Price's restoration of select scenes on YouTube here.Listen to Digging for Kryptonite's 2022 discussion of the SUPERGIRL movie here.Support the show and receive exclusive podcast content at Patreon.com/AnthonyDesiato, including the spinoff podcasts BEYOND METROPOLIS and DIGGING FOR JUSTICE!Visit BCW Supplies and use promo code FSP to save 10% on your next order of comics supplies.

Original Airdate 6/18/13 - This episode has been edited from it's original broadcast.To celebrate the release of Man of Steel we look at the entire Christopher Reeve Superman franchise in a special 2-hour + podcast! It features the usual hosts of Mark Radulich and Sean Comer and they are joined by Robert Winfree and Robert Cooper.In 1973, producer Ilya Salkind convinced his father Alexander to buy the film rights to Superman. They hired Mario Puzo to pen a two-film script, and negotiated with Steven Spielberg to direct, though Alexander eventually landed on someone else. Superman (1978) and Superman II (1980) were shot simultaneously.For the third installment, Ilya Salkind wrote a treatment that expanded the film's scope to a cosmic scale, introducing villains Brainiac and Mister Mxyzptlk, as well as Supergirl. Warner Bros., however, rejected and retooled the script into their own film, trimming Brainiac down into the film's evil "ultimate computer". The final product co-starred comedian Richard Pryor as computer wizard Gus Gorman, who—under the manipulation of a millionaire magnate—creates a form of Kryptonite that turns Superman into an evil self.Cannon Films picked up an option for a fourth film, directed by Sidney J. Furie, with Reeve reprising the role due to his interest in the film's topic regarding nuclear weapons. Several others reprised their roles as well, including Kidder (Lois Lane) and Hackman (Lex Luthor). However, Cannon decided to cut the budget, resulting in poor special effects and heavy re-editing, which contributed to the film's poor reception.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsoFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76

Welcome back to another “super” exciting episode of Not A Bomb. This is the podcast where we go back and reexamine some of the biggest bombs in cinematic history and see if they deserve a second chance. On this week's episode, the guys are once again joined by Jose from the Watch/Skip+ podcast to discuss 1987's superhero film - Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. What do you get when you combine the Man of Steel and The Cannon Group? You get a commercial and critical failure, and the end of Christopher Reeves as Superman. Made with a comparatively tiny budget, The Quest for Peace is best known for terrible special effects, a total lack of scientific knowledge, and slo-mo WWE wrestling in space. Does The Quest for Peace have enough charm to make it watchable? Why is Jon Cryer in this movie doing his impression of a “Valley Girl?” Did Brad just do a Rodney Dangerfield impression?

Non posso farci niente: come Martin Scorsese, anche al sottoscritto questo film ancora spaventa non poco, nonostante non si veda nulla di sanguinolento o terrificante. Entity è la (presunta) storia vera di Carla Moran, vittima di continue violenze e stupri da parte di un'entità malefica e invisibile che d'improvviso piomberà nella vita della donna, rendendola un vero inferno. Vani saranno i tentativi di psicologi e scienziati per tentare di fornire una spiegazione razionale agli inquietanti fenomeni. Il regista Sidney J. Furie è abilissimo nel costruire una storia orrorifica, perennemente in bilico tra logica e paranormale, ottimamente interpretata da una Barbara Hershey credibilissima e convincente. Giocando su un'atmosfera di costante minaccia, Entity è un titolo che ormai nessuno ricorda e che, la prima volta che lo vidi, mi fece venire delle paranoie assurde, inducendomi a pensare se veramente fossi solo nella mia stanza e nella mia casa. Il tema martellante composto da Charles Bernstein (poi omaggiato da Tarantino nel suo Bastardi) è qualcosa di angosciante e indimenticabile ancora oggi. Da recuperare solamente se non siete persone impressionabili nell'animo.

A seemingly naive and devout middle-aged man finds his way in the underground world of supernatural fighter plane films. On Episode 546 of Trick or Treat Radio we are joined once again by MZ, he mustn't regret his decision to return full time… yet.

Welcome to our first episode of the new year, which is also our first episode of Season 5. Thank you for continuing to join us on this amazing journey. On today's episode, we head back to Christmas of 1980, when pop music superstar Neil Diamond would be making his feature acting debut in a new version of The Jazz Singer. ----more---- EPISODE TRANSCRIPT From Los Angeles, California, the entertainment capital of the world, this is The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today.   It's 2023, which means we are starting our fifth season. And for our first episode of this new season, we're going back to the end of 1980, to take a look back at what was supposed to be the launch of a new phase in the career of one of music's biggest stars. That musical star was Neil Diamond, and this would end up becoming his one and only attempt to act in a motion picture.   We're talking about The Jazz Singer.   As I have said time and time again, I don't really have a plan for this show. I talk about the movies and subjects I talk about often on a whim. I'll hear about something and I'll be reminded of something, and a few days later, I've got an episode researched, written, recorded, edited and out there in the world. As I was working on the previous episode, about The War of the Roses just before my trip to Thailand, I saw a video of Neil Diamond singing Sweet Caroline on opening night of A Beautiful Noise, a new Broadway musical about the life and music of Mr. Diamond. I hadn't noticed Diamond had stopped performing live five years earlier due to a diagnosis of Parkinson's, and it was very touching to watch a thousand people joyously singing along with the man.   But as I was watching that video, I was reminded of The Jazz Singer, a movie we previously covered very lightly three years ago as part of our episode on the distribution company Associated Film Distribution. I was reminded that I haven't seen the movie in over forty years, even though I remember rather enjoying it when it opened in theatres in December 1980. I think I saw it four or five times over the course of a month, and I even went out and bought the soundtrack album, which I easily listened to a hundred times before the start of summer.   But we're getting ahead of ourselves yet again.   The Jazz Singer began its life in 1917, when Samson Raphaelson, a twenty-three year old undergraduate at the University of Illinois, attended a performance of Robinson Crusoe, Jr., in Champaign, IL. The star of that show was thirty-year-old Al Jolson, a Russian-born Jew who had been a popular performer on Broadway stages for fifteen years by this point, regularly performing in blackface. After graduation, Raphaelson would become an advertising executive in New York City, but on the side, he would write stories. One short story, called “The Day of Atonement,” would be a thinly fictionalized account of Al Jolson's life. It would be published in Everybody's Magazine in January 1922.   At the encouragement of his secretary at the advertising firm, Raphaelson would adapted his story into a play, which would be produced on Broadway in September 1925 with a new title…   The Jazz Singer.   Ironically, for a Broadway show based on the early life of Al Jolson, Jolson was not a part of the production. The part of Jake Rabinowitz, the son of a cantor who finds success on Broadway with the Anglicized named Jack Robin, would be played by George Jessel. The play would be a minor hit, running for 303 performances on Broadway before closing in June 1926, and Warner Brothers would buy the movie rights the same week the show closed. George Jessel would be signed to play his stage role in the movie version. The film was scheduled to go into production in May 1927.   There are a number of reasons why Jessel would not end up making the movie. After the success of two Warner movies in 1926 using Vitaphone, a sound-on-disc system that could play music synchronized to a motion picture, Warner Brothers reconcieved The Jazz Singer as a sound movie, but not just a movie with music synchronized to the images on screen, but a “talkie,” where, for the first time for a motion picture, actual dialogue and vocal songs would be synchronized to the pictures on screen. When he learned about this development, Jessel demanded more money.    The Warner Brothers refused.   Then Jessel had some concerns about the solvency of the studio. These would be valid concerns, as Harry Warner, the eldest of the four eponymous brothers who ran the studio, had sold nearly $4m worth of his personal stock to keep the company afloat just a few months earlier.   But what ended up driving Jessel away was a major change screenwriter Alfred A. Cohen made when adapting the original story and the play into the screenplay. Instead of leaving the theatre and becoming a cantor like his father, as it was written for the stage, the movie would end with Jack Robin performing on Broadway in blackface while his mom cheers him on from one of the box seats.   With Jessel off the project, Warner would naturally turn to… Eddie Cantor. Like Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor was a Jew of Russian descent, although, unlike Jolson, he had been born in New York City. Like Jolson, he had been a star on Broadway for years, regularly performing in and writing songs for Florenz Ziegfeld' annual Follies shows. And like Jolson, Cantor would regularly appear on stage in blackface. But Cantor, a friend of Jessel's, instead offered to help the studio get Jessel back on the movie. The studio instead went to their third choice…   Al Jolson.   You know. The guy whose life inspired the darn story to begin with.   Many years later, film historian Robert Carringer would note that, in 1927, George Jessel was a vaudeville comedian with one successful play and one modestly successful movie to his credit, while Jolson was one of the biggest stars in America. In fact, when The Vitaphone Company was trying to convince American studios to try their sound-on-disc system for movies, they would hire Jolson in the fall of 1926 for a ten minute test film. It would be the success of the short film, titled A Plantation Act and featuring Jolson in blackface singing three songs, that would convince Warners to take a chance with The Jazz Singer as the first quote unquote talkie film.   I'll have a link to A Plantation Act on our website, The80sMoviePodcast.com, if you're interested in seeing it.   Al Jolson signed on to play the character inspired by himself for $75,000 in May 1927, the equivalent to $1.28m today. Filming would be pushed back to June 1927, in part due to Jolson still being on tour with another show until the end of the month. Warners would begin production on the film in New York City in late June, starting with second unit shots of the Lower East Side and The Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway, shooting as much as they could until Jolson arrived on set on July 11th.   Now, while the film has been regularly touted for nearly a century now as the first talking motion picture, the truth is, there's very little verbal dialogue in the film. The vast majority of dialogue in the movie was still handled with the traditional silent movie use of caption cards, and the very few scenes featuring what would be synchronized dialogue were saved for the end of production, due to the complexity of how those scenes would be captured. But the film would finish shooting in mid-September.   The $422k movie would have its world premiere at the Warner Brothers theatre in New York City not three weeks later, on October 6th, 1927, where the film would become a sensation. Sadly, none of the Warner Brothers would attend the premiere, as Sam Warner, the strongest advocate for Vitaphone at the studio, had died of pneumonia the night before the premiere, and his remaining brothers stayed in Los Angeles for the funeral. The reviews were outstanding, and the film would bring more than $2.5m in rental fees back to the studio.   At the first Academy Awards, held in May 1929 to honor the films released between August 1927 and July 1928, The Jazz Singer was deemed ineligible for the two highest awards, Outstanding Production, now known as Best Picture, and Unique and Artistic Production, which would only be awarded this one time, on the grounds that it would have been unfair to a sound picture compete against all the other silent films. Ironically, by the time the second Academy Awards were handed out, in April 1930, silent films would practically be a thing of the past. The success of The Jazz Singer had been that much a tectonic shift in the industry. The film would receive one Oscar nomination, for Alfred Cohn's screenplay adaptation, while the Warner Brothers would be given a special award for producing The Jazz Singer, the “pioneer outstanding talking picture which has revolutionized the industry,” as the inscription on the award read.   There would be a remake of The Jazz Singer produced in 1952, starring Danny Thomas as Korean War veteran who, thankfully, leaves the blackface in the past, and a one-hour television adaptation of the story in 1959, starring Jerry Lewis. And if that sounds strange to you, Jerry Lewis, at the height of his post-Lewis and Martin success, playing a man torn between his desire to be a successful performer and his shattered relationship with his cantor father… well, you can see it for yourself, if you desire, on the page for this episode on our website. It is as strange as it sounds.   At this point, we're going to fast forward a number of years in our story.   In the 1970s, Neil Diamond became one of the biggest musical stars in America. While he wanted to be a singer, Diamond would get his first big success in music in the 1960s as a songwriter, including writing two songs that would become big hits for The Monkees: I'm a Believer and A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You.   And really quickly, let me throw out a weird coincidence here… Bob Rafelson, the creator of The Monkees who would go on to produce and/or direct such films as Easy Rider and Five Easy Pieces, was the nephew of Samson Raphaelson, the man who wrote the original story on which The Jazz Singer is based.   Anyway, after finding success as a songwriter, Diamond would become a major singing star with hits like Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon, Sweet Caroline, and Song Sung Blue. And in another weird coincidence, by 1972, Neil Diamond would become the first performer since Al Jolson to stage a one-man show at the Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway.   By 1976, Neil Diamond is hosting specials on television, and one person who would see one of Diamond's television specials was a guy named Jerry Leider, an executive at Warner Brothers in charge of foreign feature production. Leider sees something in Diamond that just night be suited for the movies, not unlike Elvis Presley or Barbra Streisand, who in 1976 just happens to be the star of a remake of A Star Is Born for Warner Brothers that is cleaning up at the box office and at records stores nationwide. Leider is so convinced Neil Diamond has that X Factor, that unquantifiable thing that turns mere mortals into superstars, that Leider quits his job at Warners to start his own movie production company, wrestling the story rights to The Jazz Singer from Warner Brothers and United Artists, both of whom claimed ownership of the story, so he can make his own version with Diamond as the star.   So, naturally, a former Warners Brothers executive wanting to remake one of the most iconic movies in the Warner Brothers library is going to set it up at Warner Brothers, right?   Nope!   In the fall of 1977, Leider makes a deal with MGM to make the movie. Diamond signs on to play the lead, even before a script is written, and screenwriter Stephen H. Foreman is brought in to update the vaudeville-based original story into the modern day while incorporating Diamond's strengths as a songwriter to inform the story. But just before the film was set to shoot in September 1978, MGM would drop the movie, as some executives were worried the film would be perceived as being, and I am quoting Mr. Foreman here, “too Jewish.”   American Film Distribution, the American distribution arm of British production companies ITC and EMI, would pick the film up in turnaround, and set a May 1979 production start date. Sidney J. Furie, the Canadian filmmaker who had directed Diana Ross in Lady Sings the Blues, would be hired to direct, and Jacqueline Bisset was pursued to play the lead female role, but her agent priced their client out of the running. Deborah Raffin would be cast instead. And to help bring the kids in, the producers would sign Sir Laurence Olivier to play Diamond's father, Cantor Rabinovitch. Sir Larry would get a cool million dollars for ten weeks of work.   There would, as always is with the case of making movies, be setbacks that would further delay the start of production. First, Diamond would hurt his back at the end of 1978, and needed to go in for surgery in early January 1979. Although Diamond had already written and recorded all the music that was going to be used in the movie, AFD considered replacing Diamond with Barry Manilow, who had also never starred in a movie before, but they would stick with their original star.   After nearly a year of rest, Diamond was ready to begin, and cameras would roll on the $10m production on January 7th, 1980. And, as always is with the case of making movies, there would be more setbacks as soon as production began. Diamond, uniquely aware of just how little training he had as an actor, struggled to find his place on set, especially when working with an actor of Sir Laurence Olivier's stature. Director Furie, who was never satisfied with the screenplay, ordered writer Foreman to come up with new scenes that would help lessen the burden Diamond was placing on himself and the production. The writer would balk at almost every single suggestion, and eventually walked off the film.   Herbert Baker, an old school screenwriter who had worked on several of the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis movies, was brought in to punch up the script, but he would end up completely rewriting the film, even though the movie had been in production for a few weeks. Baker and Furie would spend every moment the director wasn't actively working on set reworking the story, changing the Deborah Raffin character so much she would leave the production. Her friend Lucie Arnaz, the daughter of Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball, would take over the role, after Cher, Liza Minnelli and Donna Summer were considered.   Sensing an out of control production, Sir Lew Grade, the British media titan owner of AFD, decided a change was needed. He would shut the production down on March 3rd, 1980, and fire director Furie. While Baker continued to work on the script, Sir Grade would find a new director in Richard Fleischer, the journeyman filmmaker whose credits in the 1950s and 1960s included such films as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Compulsion, Fantastic Voyage and Doctor Doolittle, but had fallen out of favor with most studios after a string of flops. In fact, this would be the second film in a year where Fleischer was hired to replace another director during the middle of production, having replaced Richard C. Sarafian on the action-adventure film Ashanti in 1979.   With Fleischer aboard, production on The Jazz Singer would resume in late March, and there was an immediate noticeable difference on set. Where Furie and many members of the crew would regularly defer to Diamond due to his stature as an entertainer, letting the singer spiral out of control if things weren't working right, Fleischer would calm the actor down and help work him back into the scene. Except for one scene, set in a recording studio, where Diamond's character needed to explode into anger. After a few takes that didn't go as well as he hoped, Diamond went into the recording booth where his movie band was stationed while Fleischer was resetting the shot, when the director noticed Diamond working himself into a rage. The director called “action,” and Diamond nailed the take as needed. When the director asked Diamond how he got to that moment, the singer said he was frustrated with himself that he wasn't hitting the scene right, and asked the band to play something that would make him angry. The band obliged.    What did they play?   A Barry Manilow song.   Despite the recasting of the leading female role, a change of director and a number of rewrites by two different writers during the production, the film was able to finish shooting at the end of April with only $3m added to the budget.   Associated Film would set a December 19th, 1980 release date for the film, while Capitol Records, owned at the time by EMI, would release the first single from the soundtrack, a soft-rock ballad called Love on the Rocks, in October, with the full soundtrack album arriving in stores a month later.   As expected for a new Neil Diamond song, Love on the Rocks was an immediate hit, climbing the charts all the way to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.   Several days before the film opened in 241 theatres on December 19th, there was a huge, star-studded premiere at the Plitt Century Plaza Cinemas in Los Angeles. Peter Falk, Harvey Korman, Ed McMahon, Gregory Peck, Cesar Romero and Jon Voight were just a handful of the Hollywood community who came out to attend what was one of the biggest Hollywood premieres in years. That would seem to project a confidence in the movie from the distributor's standpoint.   Or so you'd think.   But as it turned out, The Jazz Singer was one of three movies Associated Film would release that day. Along with The Jazz Singer, they would release the British mystery film The Mirror Crack'd starring Angela Lansbury and Elizabeth Taylor, and the Richard Donner drama Inside Moves. Of the three movies, The Jazz Singer would gross the most that weekend, pulling in a modest $1.167m, versus The Mirror Crack'd's $608k from 340 screens, and Inside Moves's $201k from 67 screens.   But compared to Clint Eastwood's Any Which Way You Can, the Richard Pryor/Gene Wilder comedy Stir Crazy, and Dolly Parton/Lily Tomlin/Jane Fonda comedy 9 to 5, it wasn't the best opening they could hope for.   But the film would continue to play… well, if not exceptional, at least it would hold on to its intended audience for a while. Sensing the film needed some help, Capitol Records released a second single from the soundtrack, another power ballad called Hello Again, in January 1981, which would become yet another top ten hit for Diamond. A third single, the pro-immigration power-pop song America, would arrive in April 1981 and go to number eight on the charts, but by then, the film was out of theatres with a respectable $27.12m in tickets sold.   Contemporary reviews of the film were rather negative, especially towards Diamond as an actor. Roger Ebert noted in his review that there were so many things wrong in the film that the review was threatening to become a list of cinematic atrocities. His review buddy Gene Siskel did praise Lucie Arnaz's performance, while pointing out how out of touch the new story was with the immigrant story told by the original film. Many critics would also point out the cringe-worthy homage to the original film, where Diamond unnecessarily performs in blackface, as well as Olivier's overacting.   I recently watched the film for the first time since 1981, and it's not a great movie by any measurable metric. Diamond isn't as bad an actor as the reviews make him out to be, especially considering he's essentially playing an altered version of himself, a successful pop singer, and Lucie Arnaz is fairly good. The single best performance in the film comes from Caitlin Adams, playing Jess's wife Rivka, who, for me, is the emotional center of the film. And yes, Olivier really goes all-in on the scenery chewing. At times, it's truly painful to watch this great actor spin out of control.   There would be a few awards nominations for the film, including acting nominations for Diamond and Arnaz at the 1981 Golden Globes, and a Grammy nomination for Best Soundtrack Album, but most of its quote unquote awards would come from the atrocious Golden Raspberry organization, which would name Diamond the Worst Actor of the year and Olivier the Worst Supporting Actor during its first quote unquote ceremony, which was held in some guy's living room.   Ironically but not so surprisingly, while the film would be vaguely profitable for its producers, it would be the soundtrack to the movie that would bring in the lion's share of the profits. On top of three hit singles, the soundtrack album would sell more than five million copies just in the United States in 1980 and 1981, and would also go platinum in Canada, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. While he would earn less than half a million dollars from the film, Diamond's cut of the soundtrack would net him a dollar per unit sold, earning him more than ten times his salary as an actor.   And although I fancied myself a punk and new wave kid at the end of 1980, I bought the soundtrack to The Jazz Singer, ostensibly as a gift for my mom, who loved Neil Diamond, but I easily wore out the grooves of the album listening to it over and over again. Of the ten new songs he wrote for the soundtrack, there's a good two or three additional tracks that weren't released as singles, including a short little ragtime-inspired ditty called On the Robert E. Lee, but America is the one song from the soundtrack I am still drawn to today. It's a weirdly uplifting song with its rhythmic “today” chants that end the song that just makes me feel good despite its inherent cheesiness.   After The Jazz Singer, Neil Diamond would only appear as himself in a film. Lucie Arnaz would never quite have much of a career after the film, although she would work quote regularly in television during the 80s and 90s, including a short stint as the star of The Lucie Arnaz Show, which lasted six episodes in 1985 before being cancelled. Laurence Olivier would continue to play supporting roles in a series of not so great motion pictures and television movies and miniseries for several more years, until his passing in 1989. And director Richard Fleischer would make several bad movies, including Red Sonja and Million Dollar Mystery, until he retired from filmmaking in 1987.   As we noted in our February 2020 episode about AFD, the act of releasing three movies on the same day was a last, desperate move in order to pump some much needed capital into the company. And while The Jazz Singer would bring some money in, that wasn't enough to cover the losses from the other two movies released the same day, or several other underperforming films released earlier in the year such as the infamous Village People movie Can't Stop the Music and Raise the Titanic. Sir Lew Grade would close AFD down in early 1981, and sell several movies that were completed, in production or in pre-production to Universal Studios. Ironically, those movies might have saved the company had they been able to hang on a little longer, as they included such films as The Dark Crystal, Frances, On Golden Pond, Sophie's Choice and Tender Mercies.   Thank you for joining us.

The film would receive one Oscar nomination, for Alfred Cohn's screenplay adaptation, while the Warner Brothers would be given a special award for producing The Jazz Singer, the “pioneer outstanding talking picture which has revolutionized the industry,” as the inscription on the award read.   There would be a remake of The Jazz Singer produced in 1952, starring Danny Thomas as Korean War veteran who, thankfully, leaves the blackface in the past, and a one-hour television adaptation of the story in 1959, starring Jerry Lewis. And if that sounds strange to you, Jerry Lewis, at the height of his post-Lewis and Martin success, playing a man torn between his desire to be a successful performer and his shattered relationship with his cantor father… well, you can see it for yourself, if you desire, on the page for this episode on our website. It is as strange as it sounds.   At this point, we're going to fast forward a number of years in our story.   In the 1970s, Neil Diamond became one of the biggest musical stars in America. While he wanted to be a singer, Diamond would get his first big success in music in the 1960s as a songwriter, including writing two songs that would become big hits for The Monkees: I'm a Believer and A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You.   And really quickly, let me throw out a weird coincidence here… Bob Rafelson, the creator of The Monkees who would go on to produce and/or direct such films as Easy Rider and Five Easy Pieces, was the nephew of Samson Raphaelson, the man who wrote the original story on which The Jazz Singer is based.   Anyway, after finding success as a songwriter, Diamond would become a major singing star with hits like Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon, Sweet Caroline, and Song Sung Blue. And in another weird coincidence, by 1972, Neil Diamond would become the first performer since Al Jolson to stage a one-man show at the Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway.   By 1976, Neil Diamond is hosting specials on television, and one person who would see one of Diamond's television specials was a guy named Jerry Leider, an executive at Warner Brothers in charge of foreign feature production. Leider sees something in Diamond that just night be suited for the movies, not unlike Elvis Presley or Barbra Streisand, who in 1976 just happens to be the star of a remake of A Star Is Born for Warner Brothers that is cleaning up at the box office and at records stores nationwide. Leider is so convinced Neil Diamond has that X Factor, that unquantifiable thing that turns mere mortals into superstars, that Leider quits his job at Warners to start his own movie production company, wrestling the story rights to The Jazz Singer from Warner Brothers and United Artists, both of whom claimed ownership of the story, so he can make his own version with Diamond as the star.   So, naturally, a former Warners Brothers executive wanting to remake one of the most iconic movies in the Warner Brothers library is going to set it up at Warner Brothers, right?   Nope!   In the fall of 1977, Leider makes a deal with MGM to make the movie. Diamond signs on to play the lead, even before a script is written, and screenwriter Stephen H. Foreman is brought in to update the vaudeville-based original story into the modern day while incorporating Diamond's strengths as a songwriter to inform the story. But just before the film was set to shoot in September 1978, MGM would drop the movie, as some executives were worried the film would be perceived as being, and I am quoting Mr. Foreman here, “too Jewish.”   American Film Distribution, the American distribution arm of British production companies ITC and EMI, would pick the film up in turnaround, and set a May 1979 production start date. Sidney J. Furie, the Canadian filmmaker who had directed Diana Ross in Lady Sings the Blues, would be hired to direct, and Jacqueline Bisset was pursued to play the lead female role, but her agent priced their client out of the running. Deborah Raffin would be cast instead. And to help bring the kids in, the producers would sign Sir Laurence Olivier to play Diamond's father, Cantor Rabinovitch. Sir Larry would get a cool million dollars for ten weeks of work.   There would, as always is with the case of making movies, be setbacks that would further delay the start of production. First, Diamond would hurt his back at the end of 1978, and needed to go in for surgery in early January 1979. Although Diamond had already written and recorded all the music that was going to be used in the movie, AFD considered replacing Diamond with Barry Manilow, who had also never starred in a movie before, but they would stick with their original star.   After nearly a year of rest, Diamond was ready to begin, and cameras would roll on the $10m production on January 7th, 1980. And, as always is with the case of making movies, there would be more setbacks as soon as production began. Diamond, uniquely aware of just how little training he had as an actor, struggled to find his place on set, especially when working with an actor of Sir Laurence Olivier's stature. Director Furie, who was never satisfied with the screenplay, ordered writer Foreman to come up with new scenes that would help lessen the burden Diamond was placing on himself and the production. The writer would balk at almost every single suggestion, and eventually walked off the film.   Herbert Baker, an old school screenwriter who had worked on several of the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis movies, was brought in to punch up the script, but he would end up completely rewriting the film, even though the movie had been in production for a few weeks. Baker and Furie would spend every moment the director wasn't actively working on set reworking the story, changing the Deborah Raffin character so much she would leave the production. Her friend Lucie Arnaz, the daughter of Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball, would take over the role, after Cher, Liza Minnelli and Donna Summer were considered.   Sensing an out of control production, Sir Lew Grade, the British media titan owner of AFD, decided a change was needed. He would shut the production down on March 3rd, 1980, and fire director Furie. While Baker continued to work on the script, Sir Grade would find a new director in Richard Fleischer, the journeyman filmmaker whose credits in the 1950s and 1960s included such films as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Compulsion, Fantastic Voyage and Doctor Doolittle, but had fallen out of favor with most studios after a string of flops. In fact, this would be the second film in a year where Fleischer was hired to replace another director during the middle of production, having replaced Richard C. Sarafian on the action-adventure film Ashanti in 1979.   With Fleischer aboard, production on The Jazz Singer would resume in late March, and there was an immediate noticeable difference on set. Where Furie and many members of the crew would regularly defer to Diamond due to his stature as an entertainer, letting the singer spiral out of control if things weren't working right, Fleischer would calm the actor down and help work him back into the scene. Except for one scene, set in a recording studio, where Diamond's character needed to explode into anger. After a few takes that didn't go as well as he hoped, Diamond went into the recording booth where his movie band was stationed while Fleischer was resetting the shot, when the director noticed Diamond working himself into a rage. The director called “action,” and Diamond nailed the take as needed. When the director asked Diamond how he got to that moment, the singer said he was frustrated with himself that he wasn't hitting the scene right, and asked the band to play something that would make him angry. The band obliged.    What did they play?   A Barry Manilow song.   Despite the recasting of the leading female role, a change of director and a number of rewrites by two different writers during the production, the film was able to finish shooting at the end of April with only $3m added to the budget.   Associated Film would set a December 19th, 1980 release date for the film, while Capitol Records, owned at the time by EMI, would release the first single from the soundtrack, a soft-rock ballad called Love on the Rocks, in October, with the full soundtrack album arriving in stores a month later.   As expected for a new Neil Diamond song, Love on the Rocks was an immediate hit, climbing the charts all the way to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.   Several days before the film opened in 241 theatres on December 19th, there was a huge, star-studded premiere at the Plitt Century Plaza Cinemas in Los Angeles. Peter Falk, Harvey Korman, Ed McMahon, Gregory Peck, Cesar Romero and Jon Voight were just a handful of the Hollywood community who came out to attend what was one of the biggest Hollywood premieres in years. That would seem to project a confidence in the movie from the distributor's standpoint.   Or so you'd think.   But as it turned out, The Jazz Singer was one of three movies Associated Film would release that day. Along with The Jazz Singer, they would release the British mystery film The Mirror Crack'd starring Angela Lansbury and Elizabeth Taylor, and the Richard Donner drama Inside Moves. Of the three movies, The Jazz Singer would gross the most that weekend, pulling in a modest $1.167m, versus The Mirror Crack'd's $608k from 340 screens, and Inside Moves's $201k from 67 screens.   But compared to Clint Eastwood's Any Which Way You Can, the Richard Pryor/Gene Wilder comedy Stir Crazy, and Dolly Parton/Lily Tomlin/Jane Fonda comedy 9 to 5, it wasn't the best opening they could hope for.   But the film would continue to play… well, if not exceptional, at least it would hold on to its intended audience for a while. Sensing the film needed some help, Capitol Records released a second single from the soundtrack, another power ballad called Hello Again, in January 1981, which would become yet another top ten hit for Diamond. A third single, the pro-immigration power-pop song America, would arrive in April 1981 and go to number eight on the charts, but by then, the film was out of theatres with a respectable $27.12m in tickets sold.   Contemporary reviews of the film were rather negative, especially towards Diamond as an actor. Roger Ebert noted in his review that there were so many things wrong in the film that the review was threatening to become a list of cinematic atrocities. His review buddy Gene Siskel did praise Lucie Arnaz's performance, while pointing out how out of touch the new story was with the immigrant story told by the original film. Many critics would also point out the cringe-worthy homage to the original film, where Diamond unnecessarily performs in blackface, as well as Olivier's overacting.   I recently watched the film for the first time since 1981, and it's not a great movie by any measurable metric. Diamond isn't as bad an actor as the reviews make him out to be, especially considering he's essentially playing an altered version of himself, a successful pop singer, and Lucie Arnaz is fairly good. The single best performance in the film comes from Caitlin Adams, playing Jess's wife Rivka, who, for me, is the emotional center of the film. And yes, Olivier really goes all-in on the scenery chewing. At times, it's truly painful to watch this great actor spin out of control.   There would be a few awards nominations for the film, including acting nominations for Diamond and Arnaz at the 1981 Golden Globes, and a Grammy nomination for Best Soundtrack Album, but most of its quote unquote awards would come from the atrocious Golden Raspberry organization, which would name Diamond the Worst Actor of the year and Olivier the Worst Supporting Actor during its first quote unquote ceremony, which was held in some guy's living room.   Ironically but not so surprisingly, while the film would be vaguely profitable for its producers, it would be the soundtrack to the movie that would bring in the lion's share of the profits. On top of three hit singles, the soundtrack album would sell more than five million copies just in the United States in 1980 and 1981, and would also go platinum in Canada, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. While he would earn less than half a million dollars from the film, Diamond's cut of the soundtrack would net him a dollar per unit sold, earning him more than ten times his salary as an actor.   And although I fancied myself a punk and new wave kid at the end of 1980, I bought the soundtrack to The Jazz Singer, ostensibly as a gift for my mom, who loved Neil Diamond, but I easily wore out the grooves of the album listening to it over and over again. Of the ten new songs he wrote for the soundtrack, there's a good two or three additional tracks that weren't released as singles, including a short little ragtime-inspired ditty called On the Robert E. Lee, but America is the one song from the soundtrack I am still drawn to today. It's a weirdly uplifting song with its rhythmic “today” chants that end the song that just makes me feel good despite its inherent cheesiness.   After The Jazz Singer, Neil Diamond would only appear as himself in a film. Lucie Arnaz would never quite have much of a career after the film, although she would work quote regularly in television during the 80s and 90s, including a short stint as the star of The Lucie Arnaz Show, which lasted six episodes in 1985 before being cancelled. Laurence Olivier would continue to play supporting roles in a series of not so great motion pictures and television movies and miniseries for several more years, until his passing in 1989. And director Richard Fleischer would make several bad movies, including Red Sonja and Million Dollar Mystery, until he retired from filmmaking in 1987.   As we noted in our February 2020 episode about AFD, the act of releasing three movies on the same day was a last, desperate move in order to pump some much needed capital into the company. And while The Jazz Singer would bring some money in, that wasn't enough to cover the losses from the other two movies released the same day, or several other underperforming films released earlier in the year such as the infamous Village People movie Can't Stop the Music and Raise the Titanic. Sir Lew Grade would close AFD down in early 1981, and sell several movies that were completed, in production or in pre-production to Universal Studios. Ironically, those movies might have saved the company had they been able to hang on a little longer, as they included such films as The Dark Crystal, Frances, On Golden Pond, Sophie's Choice and Tender Mercies.   Thank you for joining us.

"Die Hard but in Beverly Hills" is elevator pitch for The Taking of Beverly Hills. And while the film looked like a sure-fire hit on paper thanks to its star, the then white-hot Ken Wahl, and it's director, Sidney J. Furie, the didn't even get the chance to fade into obscurity - it debuted there. Rob Hill from The Bad Movie Bible joins me to try and find out why.

Der Agentenfilm, der Michael Caine zum Durchbruch verhalf, stellt einen echten Gegenentwurf zum populären Kollegen James Bond dar: Harry Palmer ist ein Normalo, dessen Heldenmomente im Bürokratiealltag des Staatsapparats eher die Ausnahme bilden als die Regel. Die hochwertige Inszenierung, der pointenreiche Schlagabtausch mit den Vorgesetzten und nicht zuletzt die Darstellung der Figur durch Caine selbst machen „Ipcress“ im Vergleich zur Bond-Reihe jedoch zu einem kaum minder großen Vergnügen.

The Terror of the Snake Woman) is a low budget black-and-white 1961 British horror film produced by George Fowler and directed by Sidney J. Furie.

The Manster) (1959) and The Vikings (1958), and as the second feature on a double bill with Doctor Blood's Coffin (1961) in the US. The film is set in a small English village at the turn of the 20th century. It tells the story of Atheris (Susan Travers), a young woman who has the power to transform from human to cobra, and the Scotland Yard detective (John McCarthy) sent to investigate a series of deaths, unusual because all the victims died after being bitten by snakes that are not native to the UK.

Christopher Reeve puts on the cape and tights for the fourth time to take on a super powered opponent. Directed by Sidney J. Furie and written by Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace is based on the DC Comics character of the same name. Luke and Jae revisit this 1987 Superman sequel which, depending on who you talk to, is sometimes regarded as one of the worst movies ever made. Superman (Christopher Reeve) decides to take action and collects all the nuclear warheads from the world and throws them into space. Meanwhile, Superman's nemesis, Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman), has broken out of prison with a new scheme. He clones Superman with radioactive material to create Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow), a being just as powerful as the man of steel.

Based on real events! Barbara Hershey shines in this paranormal thriller that delves into some very upsetting content, but one thing's for sure; Stan Winston's full body prosthetic of her being groped by an invisible force is second to none. More like two separate movies, this one never quite reached the level of its more well known contemporaries, but that didn't keep it from earning a “rent” from Ryan on the merits of Ms. Hershey's performance, while Tim stayed in his usual place with a “stream”. Either way, the guys still think this one is worth the watch and a fun delving into the actual case it's based on. Where we watched: Blu-ray The Entity (1982) Directed by Sidney J.

Using his many skills he learned in the Nam, Gordon and his squadron declare it time to kick ass. Staring Paul Winfield (he's never even met Admiral Kirk) and directed by Ossie Davis (yes the radio station guy from “Do the right thing). Next up Billy Dee F'n Williams awesomely stars in 1973's HIT! Lando's daughter's life was taken away by the deadly drug heroin. Lando puts together a crew to deal with this shit and claim his vengeance. Also stars Richard Pryor and is directed by Sidney J. Furie. On we go to the three musketeers 1973. A film about 3 people who have a job they are not good at, and a fourth who just thinks they are so very cool. Stars Michael York (Logan's run) and others. Directed by Dick Lester (A hard days night) Now it's time for our review of the classic Three the hard way 1974, a timeless tale of some bad ass community heroes who thwart white supremacists from poisoning our water........ with DEATH!

Finally today we end with 1979's Shellshock rock, an hour long documentary about early punk rock people and bands having fun in Northern Ireland. Stars rad peeps in Belfast. Thanks y'all for listening.

Bond. Not James Bond. Is it already time for more Michael Caine!? You bet your bottom dollar! Your hosts talk about The Ipcress File, a spy film that has often been described as the anti-James Bond. They talk about the new concept of grocery stores, the sloppy but geniune fight scenes, how the finale brings movies like The Manchurian Candidate and A Clockwork Orange to mind, how Caine's look in the film inspired a fairly major modern spy flick and much more.   The guys also roll the dice to find out what they'll be watching next week.

In today's Episode Jason and I finish the Christopher Reeve Superman films. This means we dive directly into Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. This film was masterfully directed by Sidney J. Furie, and stars Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, & Margot Kidder. Is it a masterpiece? Is it a disaster? Join us and find out.  Also sorry for the confusion in the intro about the episode designation. When we recorded it was going to be Ep 7.5. On Apple Podcasts it will be something else. In our hearts? Confusion reigns. We are still working out the kinks. Also, and crucially, if you have thoughts, comments, suggestions hit us up at lordmovies39@gmail.com. As always thanks for listening.

We wrap up this shitty year with two VERY entertaining action films from the 90's that both feature the always-fun Robert Davi and also have plots that remind us VERY much of our favorite Christmas movie...a little flick called "Die Hard". We start off with "The Taking of Beverly Hills" from 1991, directed by Sidney J. Furie and starring Ken Wahl and Matt Frewer, with several good people in supporting roles. The plot revolves around a group of disgruntled cops who fake a chemical spill in Beverly Hills in order to rob the place blind. Lots of things are blown up, crushed and shot during the runtime and it's a ton of fun!  We follow it up with 1995's "No Contest" which stars Shannon Tweed and Andrew "Dice" Clay. This time, a beauty pageant is taken over by a group of VERY bad men who hold the contestants hostage and only the kicks and punches of a former winner can save them!  It is a very fun piece of fluff that delivers on every level. Neither of these movies are "good" on any defensible level, but they both left us all with huge grins on our faces and we recommend them. Please let us know what you thought of the show and send us some suggestions for future episodes. Please send emails to flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com.  You can also reach us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Jazzvaneio 04, Especial Divas em quatro atosAto Primeiro: Billie Holiday “Lady day”Primeiro de quatro homenagens que humildemente rendemos às quatro grandes “Divas Clássicas” do Jazz, Soul e da música popular americana. Alçamos as cortinas e com esmero apontamos os holofotes à “Lady Day”, protagonista e heroína deste episódio número 01. Sua trágica vida interrompida ainda aos 44 anos de idade, é o palco e a seiva de uma produção artística ímpar e, para muitos, revolucionária. Seu álbum “Songs For Distingué Lovers”, um dos seus últimos registros em vida, é testemunha de uma fragilizada e inspiradora Billie Holiday ainda comovente por sua inabalável capacidade expressiva.

Los 80 fue una época misteriosa, lo oculto y paranormal comenzaban a tener presencia y protagonismo a través de personajes públicos y medios de comunicación. La apertura mental y cultural de nuevas generaciones y el contacto con la tecnología permitía comenzar a tratar públicamente unos temas, que también ocupaban gran parte de la literatura y como no, del cine de aquel momento. Entre todas la filmografía de películas guionizadas en base a hechos paranormales reales, hay dos que destacan por su peculiaridad en la década de los 80, se trata de “El Ente”(Sidney J. Furie, 1982) y “Communion” (Philippe Mora, 1989) En este episodio especial, realizamos un increíble crossover con los compañeros del podcast de misterio “Ecos de lo Remoto”, nos juntamos con los entendidos en la materia y protagonistas de este podcast Álvaro Martín e Israel Gordón para desvelar el misterio de los casos reales que narran estas películas, en una unión perfecta con el cine y su particular interpretación, que analiza en este podcast, el equipo de Remake a los 80, Javi García, Carlos Aceituno y Juan Pablo Videoclubsero, realizando un análisis de interpretaciones, actores, rodaje y anécdotas. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Escúchanos también en www.remakealos80.com y no olvides suscribirte al boletín informativo en el enlace https://eepurl.com/dFCkir Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2Wf1xqN Itunes: https://apple.co/39QFevv Spreaker: https://bit.ly/39URTOb

In Episode 29, Jay Towers & Jim Bowers are joined by the 'Kryptonian Keeper' of all Superman IV knowledge Martin Lakin. The team discusses the elusive 134-minute cut of Superman IV seen only once before being cut down to 89 minutes in 1987. The budget challenges of Sidney J. Furie are often talked about, but in this episode the guys celebrate some of the great moments of Christopher Reeve and the entire cast. Plus the Alexander Courage score and the filming locations. It's a quest for answers and these are just the fans to do it! Jim also gives an update on the Sideshow release of "Someone To Believe In". The SUPER Fine Art Print by artist Kristopher Meadows. Recorded on September 25th, the birthday of our beloved Christopher Reeve.

On the conclusion of WHM's FIVE HUNDREDTH (!!!) episode, the gang is chatting about the spectacular failure that is Superman IV: The Quest for Peace!

Michel Legrand estudió música en el Conservatorio de París graduándose con las máximas notas como compositor y pianista. Trabajó en Estados Unidos con gente de la talla de Miles Davis o Stan Getz. Su salto a la fama le llegó con la película de Jacques Demy “Los paraguas de Cherburgo” en el que todos los diálogos eran cantados. Aunque compuso más de 200 bandas sonoras para el cine con las que ganaría tres Oscar ,en esta playlist daremos un repaso a sus canciones para películas como “El caso Thomas Crown” (1968, Norman Jewison), “Verano del 42” (1971, Robert Mulligan), “Con los ojos cerrados” (1969, Richard Brooks), “La piscina” (1969, Jacques Deray), “Cumbres borrascosas” (1970, Robert Fuest), "El ocaso de una estrella" (1972, Sidney J. Furie), "Amigos muy íntimos (1982, Norman Jewison) o “Primavera en otoño” (1973, Clint Eastwood). En los primeros 100 minutos hemos alternado temas cantados por tres magníficas voces femeninas que trabajaron muy estrechamente con Legrand: Barbra Streisand, Melissa Errico y Kiri Te Kanawa. La segunda parte de la playlist incluye temas suyos interpretados por solistas como Sarah Vaugham, Jessye Norman, Regine Velasquez, Ray Charles, Neil Diamond, Nana Moskouri o Matt Monro, entre otros.

Trabajó en Estados Unidos con gente de la talla de Miles Davis o Stan Getz. Su salto a la fama le llegó con la película de Jacques Demy “Los paraguas de Cherburgo” en el que todos los diálogos eran cantados. Aunque compuso más de 200 bandas sonoras para el cine con las que ganaría tres Oscar ,en esta playlist daremos un repaso a sus canciones para películas como “El caso Thomas Crown” (1968, Norman Jewison), “Verano del 42” (1971, Robert Mulligan), “Con los ojos cerrados” (1969, Richard Brooks), “La piscina” (1969, Jacques Deray), “Cumbres borrascosas” (1970, Robert Fuest), "El ocaso de una estrella" (1972, Sidney J. Furie), "Amigos muy íntimos (1982, Norman Jewison) o “Primavera en otoño” (1973, Clint Eastwood). En los primeros 100 minutos hemos alternado temas cantados por tres magníficas voces femeninas que trabajaron muy estrechamente con Legrand: Barbra Streisand, Melissa Errico y Kiri Te Kanawa. La segunda parte de la playlist incluye temas suyos interpretados por solistas como Sarah Vaugham, Jessye Norman, Regine Velasquez, Ray Charles, Neil Diamond, Nana Moskouri o Matt Monro, entre otros.

In the summer of 1974, Dr. Barry Taff, a now a renowned parapsychologist, was working as a research associate in UCLA's parapsychology laboratory. He and an associate, Kerry Gaynor, were overheard discussing the paranormal in a local bookstore by woman in her mid-thirties, and she approached them with a story about her house being haunted. She didn’t give them many details, but invited them to visit the home for themselves: a small bungalow located in Culver City, California. The woman was Doris Bither, and it wasn’t until after Taff and Gaynor arrived at the house that they got the full story from Doris about the nature of these paranormal occurrences: since moving into the house, on almost a nightly basis, Doris was being violently attacked and raped by three nameless, shapeless, entities. In 1982, her story was adapted by Frank De Felitta into the film 'THE ENTITY', directed by Sidney J. Furie and starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver.

Regisseur-Podcaster-Autor Dominik Starck hat es sich nicht leicht gemacht mit der Filmauswahl, die er zum #beepodcast mitbringt. Und so spreche ich mit dem klugen Kopf gleich über Filme zweier oft zu Unrecht übersehenen Regiekoryphäen. Dabei fällt es uns nicht schwer, die Vorzüge von John Frankenheimers letztem großen Kinohit Ronin (1998) über den grünen Klee zu loben. Superman IV - Die Welt am Abgrund (1987) von Sidney J. Furie macht es uns deutlich schwerer, eine Lanze für das ungeliebte Stiefkind des DC-Kosmos zu finden. Dabei ist die knackig-kurios-konfuse Comicverfilmung à la Cannon Films keinesfalls ein schlechter Film sondern ein bestenfalls ambitioniertes Scheitern in himmlischen Höhen. Finden wir zumindest und verlieren so manch emotional aufgeladenes Wort darüber.

Although he had claimed to be done putting on the red cape after SUPERMAN III, Reeve is lured back to make a fourth entry with a different studio from an idea he had written himself to bring back the series to respectability.  Alas, it didn't quite work out that way in the end. Superman makes a decision to meddle in Earth's affairs by getting rid of all of the nuclear missiles, but Lex Luthor has his own super-powered being to take the Man of Steel down before he interrupts the business of war that Lex relies upon for his riches. In addition to Reeve, Margot Kidder returns to a sizable role, and Gene Hackman returns to the series as Luthor.  Where did it all go so wrong when so much seems so right?  Vince takes a closer examination on this episode.

This week, we trace the evolution of black American cinema from blaxploitation in the 1970s to what we’re calling "blaxplaining" in 2018. While blaxploitation sought to showcase black actors in dramatic, action-packed films, today’s blaxplaining centers on the challenges of being black in America. We examine three films — "The Hate U Give," "Blindspotting" and "Sorry to Bother You" — and ask if they accurately depict aspects of contemporary black life, or instead merely seek to make some black experiences more palatable to white audiences.Discussed this week:"The Hate U Give" (directed by George Tillman Jr., 2018)"Blindspotting" (directed by Carlos López Estrada, 2018) "Sorry to Bother You" (directed by Boots Riley, 2018)"Coffy" (directed by Jack Hill, 1973)"Slaves" (directed by Herbert Biberman, 1969)"Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song" (directed by Melvin Van Peebles, 1971)"The Devil Finds Work" (by James Baldwin, 1976)"Lady Sings the Blues" (directed by Sidney J. Furie, 1972)"Mandingo" (directed by Richard Fleischer, 1975)"Jaws" (directed by Steven Spielberg, 1975)"Hammer" (directed by Bruce Clark, 1972)"Truck Turner" (directed by Jonathan Kaplan, 1974)"Shaft" (directed by Gordon Parks, 1971)"Blacula" (directed by William Crain, 1972)"Proud Mary" (directed by Babak Najafi, 2018)"The Equalizer 2" (directed by Antoine Fuqua, 2018)"White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism" (Robin DiAngelo, Beacon Press, 2018)"Super Fly" (directed by Gordon Parks Jr., 1972)"Dr. Black, Mr. Hyde" (Directed by William Crain, 1976)"Cotton Comes to Harlem" (Directed by Ossie Davis, 1970)"Mahogany" (Directed by Berry Gordy, 1975)"Dancing in the Moonlight" (Still Processing, 2016)

On the surface, Brad Bird’s new animated family adventure INCREDIBLES 2 wouldn’t seem to have a lot in common with Guy Hamilton’s swingin’ 1964 James Bond entry GOLDFINGER, but superhero films and spy movies are actually pretty closely thematically related, as we discover in our comparison of the two films. After discussing our reactions to INCREDIBLES 2, a follow-up to what one of us calls “a perfect movie,” we look at how these two very different versions of 1960s heroism compare in their evolution (and establishment) of familiar tropes, in their respective wish-fulfillment fantasies, and in how they handle extraordinary individuals with a license to kill. Plus, Your Next Picture Show, where we share recent filmgoing experiences in hopes of putting something new on your cinematic radar.

El Calabozo recupera "El Ente", uno de esos pequeños grandes clásicos del horror que aprovechándose de la moda del "inspirado en hechos reales" dramatizaba en pantalla uno de los fenómenos paranormales más conocidos de la historia oculta norteamericana. Doris Bither (Carla Moran en la ficción) era una mujer que acudió a la ciencia para poder encontrar explicación a los repentinos ataques sexuales que sufría cada noche provenientes de un aparente ente sobrenatural. Dirigida por el todoterreno Sidney J. Furie, y protagonizada por una sensacional Barbara Hershey, "El Ente" supone en estos días un pequeño clásico del género que a pesar de su calidad cinematográfica ha estado siempre un escalón por debajo, en lo que a popularidad se refiere, de otras leyendas fílmicas del horror. Repitiendo el modelo de programa presencial, el Reverendo estará acompañado de Miguel Ángel Muñiz, repasando de paso todo lo que se conoce a día de hoy del aparente caso real en el que la película se inspira. ¡Disfruten camaradas del culto!

On the latest episode of the Talkhouse Film Podcast, to mark the release of Dolph Lundgren's latest movie, Mike Mendez's B-horror Don't Kill It, regular Talkhouse Film contributor Joe Lynch, also the director of Everly and the forthcoming Mayhem, talks with the iconic action star. Among the topics the two discuss, aside from Mendez's film, include: Lundgren modeling his career on Clint Eastwood, his move into writing and directing, what he's learned from directors as diverse Sidney J. Furie and Sylvester Stallone, why it's worse to be chased by a 50-year-old guy with a shotgun than a 20-year-old with a shotgun, the political incorrectness of movie violence, the "Harvey Keitel penis genre," and much more.

Time for MMIS to go back to both the "Fourth Movie Of a Franchise" and the "Young Jon Realizes a Movie Can Be Terrible" wells for 1987's Superman IV: The Quest For Peace, which officially stomped the life out of the once mighty Christopher Reeve Superman series. Jon is considering taking a speeding bullet. Ali is thinking of leaping in front of a locomotive. Have both of them discovered their respective Kryptonites? Superman IV: The Quest To Destroy the Superman Legacy was directed by Sidney J. Furie, and stars basically everyone from the original Superman movie but Otis and Miss Tessmacher (lucky them). It also stars Zoë Wanamaker's dad and Ernest Hemingway's granddaughter.

Christopher Reeve and Gene Hackman have a day out at Milton Keynes Train Station in Sidney J. Furie's SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE. Margot Kidder tries to keep it together (herself, not her performance) whilst everyone else tries to work around endless padding and numerous budget cuts in this Poundland entry of the Superman saga. But does this Cannon Films blockbuster deserve all its bad press or is it ready to be tossed into the sun? Gareth and Andy find out...

The boys breathe a sigh of relief as the era of the Christopher Reeve Superman franchise comes to a close. Cannon Group's Superman IV: The Quest For Peace (as it would be unfair to assign the blame to director Sidney J. Furie) sees a massive decline in quality, but has far more redeeming features than most remember. To say that this film falls short would be an understatement, and to cut it slack would be a sin, but the nail in the franchise's coffin may not be quite as bad as the world remembers.Also on this episode: Allen barely remember's the John Candy film Delirious, but tries to explain it anyway; Steven doesn't mention wrestling once.Email: FourColorFilm@gmail.comFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/fourcolorfilmTwitter: @fourcolorfilm
