Podcasts about sidney lumet's network

In 1976, an American satirical film written by Paddy Chayefsky and directed by Sidney Lumet, called Network, about a fictional television network, UBS, and its struggle with poor ratings, starring Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch,  Robert Duvall and Beatrice Straight was nominated for 12 Academy Awards including best film, best director and best editor. Network, won four Academy Awards, including Oscars for Chayefsky’s script, Beatrice  Straights’ performance as an outraged wife, Faye Dunaway’s performance as a cynical programming executive and Peter Finch’s frenetic portrayal of Howard Beale, the troubled “mad prophet of the airwaves.”Thirty-five years later, Network remains an incendiary if an influential film, and its screenplay is still admired as much for its predictive accuracy as for its vehemence and a relentless sense of purpose. Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, cited Chayefsky when he accepted his Oscar for the screenplay of “The Social Network,” and wrote later that “no predictor of the future — not even Orwell — has ever been as right as Chayefsky was when he wrote ‘Network.’ ”Alan Heim, the picture editor of the film, Mark Laub, one from a team of sound editors, Michael Jacobi and Jeffrey Wolf, the first assistant editor and the apprentice editor on the film at the time, tell their stories of how the film came together and what it was like in various stages working with director Sidney Lumet, writer Paddy Chayefsky and Producer Howard Gottfried.

Comedian Tom Smith joins host Steve Mazan to dissect Paddy Chayefsky and Sidney Lumet's "Network" from 1976. Is UBS a joke? Was Dunaway's character pro or anti-feminist? What does "Sunset Blvd" have to do with all? Was Robert Duvall ever a teenager? Is Chayefsky a modern-day Nostradamus? All these questions and more get answered on this week's Mazan Movie Club podcast.

  FXF007: Sidney Lumet's NETWORK- Alan Heim, Mark Laub, Michael Jacobi and Jeffrey Wolf.   In 1976, an American satirical film written by Paddy Chayefsky and directed... This is the Post New York Alliance's podcast of events in the New York Post-Production community.

A slow week for new releases -- it's apparently all "Boss Baby" all the time these days -- gives us only one major new release this week, Ben Wheatley's "Free Fire," starring Brie Larson, Cillian Murphy and Armie Hammer. We disagree on it: One of our critics thinks it's a fun experiment, but the other found it mostly tiresome. Then, in our Reboot segment, we discuss how that Sidney Lumet's "Network" doesn't hold up nearly as well as you might remember, and Wes Anderson's "The Royal Tenenbaums" was a step forward for the filmmaker ... but just a peek at what he'd be able to do even better more than a decade later. Timestamps: 4:30 "Free Fire" 17:40 "Network" 38:58 "The Royal Tenenbaums" We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or griersonleitch@newrepublic.com. As always, give us a review on iTunes with the name of a movie you'd like us to review, and we'll discuss it on a later podcast.

Tyler and Josh discuss Tyler's seventh favorite film, Sidney Lumet's Network.

Hilary and Edward T have not recorded in almost 6 months - WTH, man?  So they decide it's catch-up time, and they wind up all over the map.Edward T and Hilary want to talk about guilty pleasures, but then realize that they haven't even recorded for six months - what the hell, man?!  So they decide to catch you, the listener, up to date on what's been going on, and they wind up all over the map.  They start with their adventures with work and staying employed, and ETM goes off on a culture rant about moving back to his 'beloved' Denver, Colorado.  Hilary tells ETM about a song called "Welcome to Earth, Third Rock from the Sun".  ETM's head just about explodes when he finds out that Hilary is recommending a country song, which causes Edward T to go on a rant about Lady Gaga.  Say what?But then ETM spins on a dime, details his anti-sexual conquests and announces he has had it with his own viewpoints of the world, and has decided to give himself to being what he thinks is bad, rather than what he thought was good. What does he mean by that?ETM then gives you a Media Minute, recommending the streaming-media service, Spotify.  He recommends it for one reason: Comedy.  He then gives you some choice comedy clips from such great comedians as Greg Giraldo, Patton Oswalt, The Sklar Brothers, Louis C.K. and Bill Burr.Finally, just before signing off, Edward T informs Hilary that he will kill himself during the next recording.  He says he's kidding, but kind of not.  He then details one of his favorite films, Sidney Lumet's "Network", in which Academy Award winner Peter Finch gives a speech in which he will commit suicide live on the air, because being a broadcaster was his life, and he has been retired by the network.Edward T is obviously not serious (after all, how is he writing this in third person right now?), but he details his desperation and discouragement through the art form of film. Hilary is just flat-out freaked-out. *CLICK HERE TO LISTEN*Right Click and select "SAVE LINK AS..." or "SAVE AS..." to download to your computer.(Be patient, may take a few minutes to download - and be sure your Pop-Up Blocker is off).*Or Listen Here on iTunes*(You DON'T need a Mac to listen on iTunes)Greg Giraldo Documentary, "Give It Up For Greg Giraldo", Part I:Greg Giraldo Documentary, "Give It Up For Greg Giraldo", Part II:Greg Giraldo Documentary, "Give It Up For Greg Giraldo", Part III:Sidney Lumet's "Network" - Howard Beale (Peter Finch) is mad as hell and he is not going to take it anymore!:Sidney Lumet's "Network" - Howard Beale (Peter Finch) decides to commit suicide on live television:Time: 76:49
