Evan, Rémy and Marcus go one f'n hour on Stanley Kubrick's DR. STRANGELOVE, the unsettling Cold War masterpiece that confronts the specter of nuclear annihilation through absurdist satire and institutional madness. Along the way, they explore the culture of atomic anxiety that shaped the film, its disturbing parallels to our modern world, and the thematic connections it shares with Sidney Lumet's FAIL-SAFE and Michelangelo Antonioni's RED DESERT, two other 1964 classics grappling with humanity's fragile relationship to technology, power, and catastrophe.

 Introducing our new stand of podcasts: While they were Bond.In this new series we look at the film starring James Bond actors during their tenure as James Bond.Our first episode focuses on Sidney Lumet's extraordinary and harrowing wartime prison drama, The Hill, starring Sean Connery who by 1965 was anxious to be cast in roles very different to 007. He certainly got his wish with this outstanding yet deeply controversial telling of life in a north African prison camp for British soldiers in World War 2.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we talk about Sidney Lumet's final film, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. The film stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Marisa Tomei, and Albert Finney. We talk about the stellar cast, the complexity of the plot, and how Sidney Lumet wanted this to be viewed as a melodrama. We talk about Lumet's glorious career and discuss other directors with good swan songs. Click and listen!

Continuing our series on the films of Sidney Lumet, we take a look at Deathtrap (1982). Based on Ira Levin's hit stage play, the film follows a struggling playwright who becomes obsessed with a script written by one of his students. What follows is a series of twists, double-crosses, and surprises that make Deathtrap feel remarkably modern for a thriller of its era. Anchored by strong performances from Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve, the film keeps finding new ways to pull the rug out from under its audience. Enjoy our discussion of one of Lumet's most unique and entertaining films.   Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle.

Richard Gere, Gene Hackman, and Denzel Washington? In a Sidney Lumet film? How could a movie like this be all but forgotten these days?

Adaptation is a tricky thing no matter the source in cinema. Novels, life stories, historical events, original ideas, short stories. Adapting live theater plays is an especially tricky business. Something written to be performed live, often in 1 location/set, with concentrated poetic dialogue, plays different as a movie. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill takes a look at everything from Sidney Lumet's adaptations of 12 Angry Men and Long Day's Journey into Night to all the various Shakespeare adaptations to experimental one location minimalist adaptations like Richard Linklater's 2001 Tape. His conclusion? It might help moviemakers to direct some plays to be better prepared to adapt them to the big screen.

Continuing our series on the films of Sidney Lumet, we turn to The Verdict (1982). Starring Paul Newman as a down-on-his-luck attorney, the film follows a medical malpractice case that offers him one last chance at redemption. Written by David Mamet, The Verdict strips away the glamour of the courtroom drama, focusing instead on conscience, persistence, and the difficulty of doing the right thing when the odds are stacked against you. Join us as we discuss one of Lumet's most acclaimed films and one of Newman's finest performances.   Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle.

Mike White May continues with more Sean Connery yet this time with an edgy, more facial-hair forward demeanor in yet another Sidney Lumet joint The Offence. Starring Connery as Sergeant Johnson, a cop in the UK who's had one bad day too many, and takes it out on a suspected child molester with catastrophic results. Professor Spencer Parsons joins to talk Connery, noir, and influences on '90s crime films.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.

Sidney Lumet's 1975 masterpiece of naturalistic filmmaking is many things: a bank robbery procedural, a time capsule of 1970's NYC political and economic movements, a groundbreaking cinematic portrayal of a leading gay character, and maybe the most Brooklyn film of all time. In Episode 1 of my two-parter, I do the usual deep dive into the hows and whys of the ways in which the film still lands emotionally and experientially for viewers today. In Part 2, I'll delve into fact vs fiction, digging into the real Sonny and Sal as well as exploring some of how the real-life protagonist of the robbery began to live the version of events shown onscreen...and even came to embellish the facts far beyond the realm of plausibility. It's an incredible true story that makes you wonder what's stranger: fact or the fiction spun from it?

It's Mike White May here at the Kulturecast and we're talking Sean Connery all month long! We kick off the month with a look at one of the many pairings of Sidney Lumet and Connery with the 1965 film The Hill. Featuring an ensemble cast including Ozzie Davis, it focuses on a group of military prisoners being held in a North African "glass house" where men are broken just for fun. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.

Superman sets aside his cape to prove his acting powers for this adaptation of a play about plays and murder. With an early death, numerous reversals, and enough weapons to make Chekhov choke, Sidney Lumet played it out differently than playwright Levin. Christopher Reeve and Michael Caine play cat and mouse in Deathtrap, while the Brains bust out their best yet.

Ep. 391: Michael Lee Nirenberg on Cinematic Immunity, his new oral history about New York filmmaking crews Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. This week I go behind the scenes with filmmaker and author Michael Lee Nirenberg, whose new book Cinematic Immunity is an oral history of New York filmmaking of a different sort. Rather than directors or screenwriters, Nirenberg interviewed crew members across departments—and decades—to recount the making of movies like The French Connection and Do the Right Thing, shows like Pee-Wee's Playhouse and The Sopranos, and generally the ethos of working with Sidney Lumet or Spike Lee. As our conversation demonstrates, we were able to delve into stories and anecdotes that offer different perspectives and angles on film culture and the esprit de corps of studio filmmaking. “Cinematic Immunity: An Oral History of New York Filmmaking As Told by the Crews That Got the Shot” is available for purchase online and in bookstores. Also, the Frank Perry film that's mentioned, Last Summer (1969), is screening on May 3 at the Paris Theater.

No hay frases vagas ni lugares comunes en las clases del Profesor Ocaña. Se acerca a la categoría de película necesaria "Intocable" porque, basada en hechos reales, nos acerca a la vida de un joven con síndrome de Tourette. "Prime Crime: A true story" nos lleva al cine de los 70, a un atraco que sucedió en Estados Unidos en 1977, a la lucha social y a un clásico, "Tarde de Perros" de Sidney Lumet. Y como Crítica bajo demanda analizamos "El guateque" y nos preguntamos si las nuevas generaciones la reciben cómo se merece.

Continuing our series on the films of Sidney Lumet, we take a look at Serpico (1973). Starring Al Pacino in one of his most defining early roles, the film tells the true story of an NYPD officer who refuses to play along with the department's deep-rooted corruption. Gritty, grounded, and intensely personal, Serpico trades spectacle for character, charting one man's slow isolation as he chooses integrity over loyalty.

Kicking off our latest series on the films of Sidney Lumet, we begin with the incendiary classic Network (1976). Written by Paddy Chayefsky, the film is as sharp and biting as ever, taking aim at television, corporate power, and the blurred line between news and entertainment. Anchored by unforgettable performances and iconic monologues, Network feels just as relevant today as it did on release.

In this episode I spoke with author Rachel Walther about her book "Born To Lose: The Misfits Who Made Dog Day Afternoon". This is the plot of Dog Day Afternoon, the 1975 film directed by Sidney Lumet and starring Al Pacino, John Cazale, and Chris Sarandon. It remains a high-water mark of New Hollywood, where the best acting talent of the day came together on a film that was truly exceptional.

Never mess with the money.  Newscaster Howard Beale has been fired from television, but not before he has a mental breakdown live on-air. What could be better for ratings?

Starring: William Holden, Faye Dunaway, Peter Finch, Robert Duvall, Ned Beatty, and Beatrice Straight. Written by Paddy Chayefsky. Directed by Sidney Lumet.

Send Kevin a Text MessageFilmmaker Ric Roman Waugh joins host Kevin Goetz for a conversation about his unconventional path from stuntman's son to one of Hollywood's most distinctive action directors. Waugh discusses growing up inside the stunt world, his mentors, and his mission to make commercial action films that also deliver an important message. During the conversation, he touches on his collaborations with Dwayne Johnson, Gerard Butler, and Jason Statham, and on films such as Felon, Snitch, Shot Caller, Angel Has Fallen, Greenland, and Shelter that have defined his brand of character-driven action movies.Working with Tony Scott and Jerry Bruckheimer (02:47): Waugh credits Tony Scott and Jerry Bruckheimer as the mentors who shaped his collaborative instinct…leaders who respected everyone on set, demanded the best, and inspired those around them.Growing Up in Stunts Unlimited (06:13): Waugh's father, Fred Waugh, was a founding member of Stunts Unlimited, the legendary stunt group led by Hal Needham. Ric grew up on sets and, to his father's disappointment, was more dazzled by the stuntmen than the movie stars.In the Writers' Room (15:20): Before directing, Waugh spent years writing originals for producers like Mark Gordon, Neil Moritz, and Jerry Bruckheimer. He describes how this process taught him how Hollywood actually worked.Finding His Voice and Making Felon (17:54): Inspired by Sidney Lumet's socially-conscious entertainments, he researched the California prison system, became a volunteer parole agent, and made Felon on spec.Snitch and Dwayne Johnson (24:10): Working with Dwayne Johnson on Snitch was a pivotal experience for Waugh. Both men were at a crossroads in their careers, and this film helped clarify Waugh's mission: to use the commercial action films as a Trojan horse for social commentary.The Audience Is the Real Collaborator (29:56): Waugh reflects on his long working relationship with Kevin Goetz and the role of test screenings in his process. Waugh shares how he uses early and formal audience feedback to identify what isn't being communicated.Marketing in a Distracted World (46:10): Waugh and Goetz discuss the challenge of building audiences for original stories amid the declining effectiveness of traditional marketing.If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review and share it with a fellow film lover.

In 12 Angry Men, the entire story unfolds in a single jury room—but somehow it becomes one of the most gripping films ever written. This week, the So Many Sequels crew dives into Sidney Lumet's 1957 courtroom classic and asks why this film continues to top “greatest movies ever” lists.Josh, Garrett, and David break down the brilliance of its minimalist storytelling, from Henry Fonda's calm but stubborn Juror #8 to the film's exploration of bias, prejudice, and mob mentality. They also discuss the movie's unusual production history, its Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, and how a 90-minute conversation between twelve jurors manages to feel as tense as any blockbuster thriller. Plus: jury duty stories, the 1997 remake with Jack Lemmon and George C. Scott, and why this film still resonates decades later.Follow So Many Sequels for more movie discussions, leave us a review if you enjoy the show, and join the conversation with us on social media.

In Billy Wilder's "Ace in the Hole," audiences were given a look at what happens when news becomes more focused on sensation than truth, more allegiant to entertainment than dignity. Twenty-five years later, Sidney Lumet took those themes even deeper in "Network," a movie that predicted anger-driven "infotainment" years before it became a thing. In this episode, we connect the dots between these two seminal films. Enjoy this preview of our Patreon exclusive.

A few months ago, we discussed three films about the press speaking truth to power. What happens when the powerful pervert media for profits? As it enters The Criterion Collection this week, Sidney Lumet's satirical look at television news- 1976's "Network"- feels like a documentary of the times we live in now. Joining me to discuss the legacy of this film is Jason from Binge Movies and The Slashers and Joan Amenn from In Their Own League. I hope you enjoy!

The more you learn about this movie, the more clear it becomes that what you'd think to be the good parts are the bad parts, and that the bad parts are really the good parts. Making movies is hard.  Sidney Lumet directs a visually stunning reimagining of the Wizard of Oz and then some other stuff is in it too. *Come support the podcast and get yourself or someone you love a random gift at our merch store.  T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, stickers, and more!

SEASON 4 EPISODE 60: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Arizona Senate Republicans just introduced a measure to make ICE MANDATORY at polling places this November. Mandatory. At voting booths. This November. No - It won’t pass. This time. But this does dispel any MAGA crap that this isn't the goal, that rounding up immigrants isn't just practice. Happily, DHS and MAGA are too busy purging themselves. Maybe just as importantly: Does Trump look drawn and unnaturally thin in the face? Like, lost a lot of girth in the face - the kind of thing where people who don’t know say “you’ve lost a lot of weight, you look great” – except you don’t? Also he has just confused Harmeet Dhillon for Phyllis Diller. Standard stuff. But he made a different gaffe that you just can’t write off because it’s new. It’s not something stupid – it’s something he’s misplaced, mentally. The one Trump blunder that suggests he’s getting WORSE: The Penn Station post.

Hey everyone! Like movie fans everywhere, we mourn the passing of Robert Duvall. He's a cinematic icon with tons of Oscar-worthy roles. Ironically, this look back takes us to one of the few great performances that didn't snag an Oscar nomination: Sidney Lumet's Network. It's a wicked satire with an all-world script and a cast to match. Enjoy!

We know y'all are some nasty freaks out there who have been waiting a long time for this one to drop.  Guy Madden comes back with an irreverently cinematic fake/real/fake documentary about his home town of Winnipeg.  It's black and white, it's out of focus, the cuts are fast and many.  It's psycho-sexual.  It's arty AF.  Is he going to vignette any shots?  Uh, yeah. *Come support the podcast and get yourself or someone you love a random gift at our merch store.  T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, stickers, and more!

Written by Frank Pierson, based on the article "The Boys in the Bank" by P.F. Kluge and Thomas Moore. Starring Al Pacino, John Cazale, Charles Durning, and Chris Sarandon. Cinematography by Victor J. Kemper. Edited by Dede Allen.

Even without Al Pacino's name in its cast list, the new Dead Man's Wire would invite comparisons to Dog Day Afternoon in its dramatization of a real-life 1970s hostage situation turned public spectacle. Whether it benefits from comparisons to Sidney Lumet's 1975 crime classic is another question, one we take up in our discussion of Gus Van Sant's first new feature in eight years. After that, we bring Dog Day Afternoon back in for Connections, to consider how these two films about volatile, narcissistic men and their ostensibly populist schemes fit into the proud tradition of amateur-hour crime movies, and whether a modern film depicting Indianapolis half a century ago has any hope of evoking its setting the way Lumet captured contemporary 1970s New York.

In adapting the true story about a '70s hostage crisis that played out on television and in the public eye, Gus Van Sant's new Dead Man's Wire is just asking to be compared to 1975's Dog Day Afternoon — and who are we to resist an invitation to talk about yet another Sidney Lumet classic? So this week we revisit a film we have all previously seen and admired, but still has the ability to surprise with its unconventional approach to a bank robbery gone wrong, from its persistent sense of humor to its shifting perspective on Al Pacino's criminal protagonist. Then in Feedback, we continue the conversation about our podcast's namesake film, and answer a recurring question about our archives.

John Cazale is one of the most extraordinary and heartbreaking figures in film history. Despite appearing in only five feature films, every one of them was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. In this video, Chris and Gerry explore the life, career, and lasting legacy of John Cazale - from The Godfather, and The Godfather Part II to Dog Day Afternoon, The Conversation, and The Deer Hunter. We discuss Cazale's unique acting style, his collaborations with directors like Francis Ford Coppola and Sidney Lumet, his relationships with co-stars including Al Pacino and Meryl Streep, and how his untimely death cut short one of the most remarkable careers in cinema history. Was John Cazale the greatest character actor of all time? Check out the show and decide for yourself.

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.

The ladies review Sidney Lumet's Network and discuss the Ellison media takeover and the Young Republican groupchat.

A film about a man trying to fund a gender-affirming operation by robbing a bank sounds like a modern-day plot. But 50 years ago, that was the scenario for the classic film Dog Day Afternoon. We're featuring our interviews with director Sidney Lumet and with Al Pacino, who starred as the bank robber. Lumet gave his lead license to take the role as far as he wanted, and then pushed Pacino to do more. "It's really one of the best pieces of movie acting I've ever seen. It was blinding in its intensity, agonizingly painful," he told Terry Gross in 1988.Also, Maureen Corrigan reviews The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai which has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize.  Follow Fresh Air on instagram @nprfreshair, and subscribe to our weekly newsletter for gems from the Fresh Air archive, staff recommendations, and a peek behind the scenes.  Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
