A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE is built on an undeniably hooky premise — a nuclear missile originating from an unknown source is heading right for us — but is that premise enough to support a successful movie? We're joined once again by critic and author Jason Bailey to unpack that question, particularly as it applies to the film's triptych structure and nervy ending gambit. That ending comes back into play when we reintroduce 1964's FAIL SAFE for Connections, to see how Sidney Lumet's Cold War thriller compares to Kathryn Bigelow's modern-day nuclear scenario in their respective depictions of human connection — personal, professional, and adversarial —amid humanity-threatening catastrophe. Then we keep it in the nuclear family for Your Next Picture Show, with a recommendation for the 1983 TV movie THE DAY AFTER, as well as some of its pop-cultural fallout. Please share your thoughts about FAIL SAFE, A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Kathryn Bigelow's new A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE games out a scenario that filmmakers have been grappling with since the mid-20th century, in particular the year 1964, which saw the release of two very different classics of the nuclear-catastrophe genre: DR. STRANGELOVE, followed a few months later by the other half of this week's pairing, FAIL SAFE. If the bleak realism of Sidney Lumet's nuclear thriller made it a tougher sell to audiences back then, though, it also makes FAIL SAFE feel like a more fitting companion to Bigelow's film than its satirical predecessor. We're joined this week by critic and author Jason Bailey to discuss why FAIL SAFE still feels so immediately chilling decades removed from its Cold War context, and how Lumet makes a story that plays out mainly in a series of small rooms feel both grand in scope and human in focus. Then, in honor of our second Lumet feature in a row on this show, we turn Feedback over to a discussion of some of the prolific filmmaker's lesser-known works.

Paul Thomas Anderson's ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is a very different film in form and function than the other half of this pairing, RUNNING ON EMPTY, but it's built on the same foundational questions as Sidney Lumet's 1988 family drama: what does it mean to lead a revolutionary life, and how does one generation's fight get handed off to the next? After talking through how ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER engages with those questions, as well as its more action-movie-oriented thrills (and hills), we bring in RUNNING ON EMPTY to compare how the two films depict coming of age while on the run from the feds, and parents attempting to safeguard their children from an unknown future. Then in Your Next Picture Show, we discuss some of the other films Anderson chose, alongside RUNNING ON EMPTY, for a recent TCM guest-programming selection inspired by ONE BATTLE.

Paul Thomas Anderson himself cited 1988's RUNNING ON EMPTY as a direct influence on the new ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, and it's not difficult to see the rhymes between these two films about former revolutionaries trying to protect their kids from the consequences of their parents' past. We'll get into those rhymes more next week, but first we devote some time to Sidney Lumet's 1988 film, which is less cat-and-mouse chase than coming-of-age family drama, anchored by a remarkable River Phoenix as the teenage son of former anti-war protesters on the run from the law. Unlike with PTA's film, there are no real bad guys in RUNNING ON EMPTY, only problems to negotiate within a rich family dynamic that is both delightful in its specificity and heartbreaking in its fragility.

It took decades in development hell for an adaptation of Stephen King's THE LONG WALK to trudge its way into theaters, and now that it has, we're of split opinions on how Francis Lawrence's film goes about distinguishing itself from its source material, particularly in its graphic depiction of violence. There's also the matter of the film's very different ending, which we dig into once we move into Connections to compare how THE LONG WALK's endurance contest compares to the one in Sydney Pollack's THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY?, in terms of how voluntary they actually are, what spectators get out of watching participants suffer, and what passes for victory in a contest where no one really wins.

Our journey through Satire September is coming to a close here on We Drink & We Watch Things, and we're ending with what might be the most chillingly prophetic film of them all: the 1976 classic, "Network." We both absolutely loved this movie, and what surprised us most was how eerily relevant it feels almost fifty years later. Grab your drink, and prepare for a discussion that feels less like a look back and more like a warning.This week, we're dissecting the genius of Paddy Chayefsky's Oscar-winning script and Sidney Lumet's powerful direction. We'll be talking about how the film's "mad prophet of the airwaves" Howard Beale and the ruthless pursuit of ratings didn't just satirize television, it predicted the media landscape we live in today, from reality TV to the sensationalized, rage-fueled news cycle. We'll chat about the brilliant monologues, the incredible performances from the entire cast, and why a film that was once considered a wild exaggeration now feels like a horrifying documentary.If you're looking for a masterclass in screenwriting, a powerful piece of cinema, or just want to hear us marvel at how something made in the 70s could see so clearly into our future, then this is the episode for you. We're blending our appreciation for this brilliantly written film with our usual casual banter, making this the perfect, thought-provoking conclusion to a month dedicated to satire.

Is NETWORK (1976) the most prophetic film ever made about television and journalism?Directed by Sidney Lumet and written by Paddy Chayefsky, Network follows news anchor Howard Beale (Peter Finch) as he unravels live on air and creates one of cinema's most famous speeches: “I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take this anymore!” This satirical black comedy, starring Faye Dunaway, William Holden, and Robert Duvall, predicted the rise of infotainment, corporate control of news, and the modern media circus decades before it happened. MonteCristo, Richard Lewis, and Thorin debate whether Network is satire or documentary, why the film feels even more relevant in 2025 than it did in the 1970s, and how it compares to other great journalism movies like All the President's Men and The Insider.

Yes, we had a hankering to delve back into gritty, seedy, 1970's police thrillers! Our partner in crime, Nick Langdon, stops by to discuss The Offence (1973), directed by Sidney Lumet and The Laughing Policeman (1973), directed by Stuart Rosenberg. From the sleazy underbelly of San Francisco to the mean streets of, er, Bracknell, the fear and loathing is everywhere and we wouldn't have it any other way. Apart from that, it's a pretty good time! We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for The Offence by skipping ahead to the 1:32:17 mark, and for The Laughing Policeman by skipping ahead to 2:15:49.

El pasado 25 de junio de 2024 se cumplían 100 años del nacimiento de Sidney Lumet, uno de los directores más fundamentales del siglo XX. Pocos baches en una filmografía variada como pocas, la mayoría de veces con películas incontestables y en todos los casos un nivel dignidad y efectividad que le hizo ser permeable a los distintos gustos tanto del público como de la industria pero sin renunciar a su personalidad. Talento, ritmo y solidez que no necesitó de factores mediáticos o grandes reconocimientos (la Academia sólo le dio el Oscar honorífico en 2005) para que quedara marcada su gran influencia en el cine usamericano durante más de cinco décadas. Este reportaje pertenece al programa "El Cine de LoQueYoTeDiga" nº 441 (15x26) y fue emitido el 27 de julio de 2024.

A true high point of the New Hollywood era gets the Kael Your Idols treatment this episode: Sidney Lumet's Dog Day Afternoon. We attempt to get to the bottom of this true tale of a robbery-gone-wrong by putting together the character's complex motivations piece by piece. Along the way we manage to show some love to Pacino, who puts in probably his best performance, and of course the legendary John Cazale as well.  Other topics include: early portrayals of gay activism, Lumet's book ‘Making Movies', and Johnny Wojtowicz: the larger-than-life figure at the center of the actual event.

Bonnie Rose started her professional career as a stand-in for Bette Midler on “First Wives Club.” Next up, the iconic and legendary film director Sidney Lumet hand picked her for the feature film “Night Falls On Manhattan,” playing a New York City cop opposite Andy Garcia, which led to many other Lumet projects over the next decade including a recurring role as a legal aid attorney on the TV legal drama “100 Centre St.” Bonnie's massive credits in television and film include “Inside Llewyn Davis,” Marvel's “Jessica Jones,” “Mr. Robot,” “Blue Bloods,” “Broad City,” “The Sopranos,” and the trifecta of all “Law & Orders.” She recently won Best Actress at three different film festivals for her role in Finise Avery's short film “Living with Grandma.” She also appears opposite Rose Byrne in Stephanie Laing's feature film “Tow,” which just made its World Premiere at Tribeca Film Festival. On this episode, Rose talks about the child-like enthusiasm which fuels her work, what it means to “right-size yourself,” why having only one line is sometimes harder than having many lines, bravely (and hilariously) tackling nudity in her mid-fifties, the importance of always letting gratitude lead the way, and much more.

Mutual Doomsday: Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove/Sidney Lumet's Fail Safe  Recording a mere two days before Donald Trump fired on Iran, Mr. Chavez & I sit down to discuss nuclear war and the incredible self-destructiveness of humankind. In 1963 Stanley Kubrick would direct one of his earliest masterpieces. With a ridiculous and hilarious George C. Scott, frighteningly honest Sterling Hayden, and a briliant Peter Sellars in a trio of roles that stands as one of the (three) greatest comic performances in cinema. There is a great deal going on in this film, however much of it's power has been dismissed as mere comedy. Surprisingly, a second film from 63 would provide an even more powerful statement of the danger of nuclear war. Sidney Lumet's film would die in the shadow of Kubrick's great comedy. On this episode Mr. Chavez & I are thrilled to do our part to bring light to this criminally neglected film. Take a lesson and let us know what you think - gondoramos@yahoo.com.
