EPISODE 143 -  “GUESS WHO'S NUMBER ONE?: STEVE & NAN RANK TRACY/HEPBURN FILMS” - 6/08/2026  One of the most dynamic duos in film history is undoubtedly the teaming of SPENCER TRACY and KATHARINE HEPBURN. This chemistry was electric. Over the course of their careers, they appeared in nine films together — covering a wide range of genres. They were in everything from Westerns (“The Sea of Grass”) to film noirs (“Keeper of the Flame”) to what would become their specialty, romantic comedies (“Pat and Mike”). They also appeared in the seminal 1960s social comedy/drama “Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.” This week, Steve & Nan will do the impossible  — they will attempt to rank the nine films this duo made together. Form worst to best! How will your favorite stack up?

The Sunday Arts Magazine team chats with actor Donne Ngabo who plays Sidney Poitier in MTC's “Retograde”, Arts Centre, Fairfax theatre. Till 27 June. The post Sunday Arts Magazine: Donne Ngabo – May 17th, 2026 appeared first on Sunday Arts Magazine.

Send us Fan MailWhen Andy Gotts was 18, a stranger in Norfolk asked him why he didn't look happy. That single question and the Photography Teacher it quietly led him to, set in motion a 36 year path from a college darkroom in King's Lynn to Hollywood's most idiosyncratic black-and-white portraits.In this Stories of Distinction & Genius episode, Chris Grimes welcomes Andy "One Shot" Gotts into The Clearing to trace the whole arc: From the 300 letters with not a single reply, the 1 yes from Joss Ackland at his son's wedding in Clovelly, and the line "what do you do and who shagged who?!" that finally gave the wish list its theme. Andy talks about the 150 Actors he set out to photograph in 1995, the long, patient pursuit of Gary Oldman that ended this year through Big Mo and a young actress sliding into his DMs, and how Paul Newman himself christened him "One Shot Gotts" after a 4 minute shoot in Connecticut.The conversation moves through the people who shaped him: His milkman father leaving for work at 3:00 every morning, his devoted mother, Dr Tony Leach who taught him Photography on Saturdays in Holt, Stephen Fry whose 90 second portrait at a college Q&A genuinely started his career, and Sir John Hurt, born on the very same day as Andy's dad. Andy shares the afternoon in East Runton when John told him over a pint of red wine that he had cancer and months to live, and asked Andy back the following weekend to direct him. What followed - John in his late father's priest's robes, speaking 'Imagine' as a parable in a single take - became John Hurt's last ever recording.There are also the secret Monty Python reunion shoots at Duke's at 3:00 in the morning; LS Lowry, Hitchcock and Sidney Poitier's story about Tony Curtis and The Defiant Ones; Bob Ross's happy little clouds taking over lockdown; three years spent funding a degree as a Norfolk Nightclub Bouncer; an unwavering refusal to retouch a single line on a face; and the epitaph Ringo Starr gave him, "the Ansel Adams of faces."A warm, story-rich hour and a half about tenacity, taste, and what it really means to "stay on the bus!"

Retrograde, la nouvelle production du Melbourne Theatre Company, reconstitue un moment charnière et méconnu des débuts de Sidney Poitier — avant l'Oscar, avant la légende. Mis en scène par Bert LaBonté et porté par le foudroyant Donné Ngabo, ce huis clos haletant pose une question aussi brûlante aujourd'hui qu'en 1957 : jusqu'où est-on prêt à se sacrifier pour survivre ?

Ok, my l33t haxx0rz! We've got a major kludge to pen test here so let's get to it. We're going to hack this week's episode of “This Looks Like a Good Place for a Stickup,” 1992's “Sneakers.” Coming off the “hacker mania” of the early 90's (the Internet Worm, Operation: Sun-devil, and the horror that was “Mario Hotel”), this movie posits the frightfully tech-savvy question: “what if there was a magic box that could do magic things to every computer anywhere, all the time, in seconds?” So l33t! Very tech! Weird question? Well, what if some of the people who are trying to answer it are Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, River Phoenix, and Mary McDonnell? No, seriously, those are just some of the big names in this cast. Surely the ever-so-computer-savvy minds of 1992 Hollywood would come up with something at least as believable as, oh, I don't know, “Hackers,” right? They've got big, big names, so that's got to be good, right? Well, give a listen and find out. End of line. Poll question: what is your choice for most ludicrous, ridiculous movie plot? Leave a comment or leave a ludicrous, ridiculous message on our Hotline at 617-398-7266.

Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode head back to class to learn how teachers have been depicted on screen, from Goodbye, Mr Chips to Adolescence. What can film and television teach us, if anything, about what it takes to be a good teacher? Mark speaks to east London-based teacher and film critic Charlotte Harrison about the enduring appeal of inspirational mentor figures in cinema, from Sidney Poitier in To Sir, with Love to Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society, and how far these stories reflect - or distort - the realities of life in the classroom. She also highlights the films and TV series that come closest to capturing the day-to-day experience of teaching.Ellen talks to Guz Khan, star of Man Like Mobeen, who first honed his crowd-control skills in a Coventry classroom before turning to stand-up comedy and acting, about how screen depictions compare with his own experience as a teacher.She also speaks to British television legend Sir Philip Redmond about Grange Hill, the groundbreaking, long-running school drama he created in 1978, whose characters - from Mr Bronson to Mrs McClusky - became as familiar to generations of British pupils as their real-life teachers.Producer: Jane Long A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4.

Jaume Segalés habla de la Feria del Libro Antiguo y de Ocasión de Madrid. Además, nos acercamos al cine clásico con La esclava libre.Feria del Libro Antiguo y de Ocasión de Madrid Ya está en marcha uno de los eventos clásicos de la primavera madrileña. La 48ª edición de la Feria del Libro Antiguo y de Ocasión de Madrid que vuelve a llenar de vida literaria el Paseo de Recoletos, desde Cibeles hasta la calle Almirante, con miles de ejemplares que harán las delicias de lectores, bibliófilos y coleccionistas. El pistoletazo de salida tuvo lugar ayer con la tradicional lectura del pregón, que este año corrió a cargo de la escritora y periodista Julia Navarro. Así, todos los días de 11.00 a 21.00, hasta el domingo 17 de mayo, ya podemos dar un paseo por las casetas de las 37 librerías especializadas que participan, provenientes de todos los rincones de España. Una oportunidad excepcional para encontrar auténticas joyas bibliográficas y ediciones atípicas con precios de todo tipo. Además, todos los sábados habrá actividades especiales. Entrevistamos a María José Blas, presidenta de la Asociación de Libreros de Lance de Madrid, que organiza la feria desde 1977.Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre 'La esclava libre' (Band of Angels). Drama clásico estadounidense de 1957 dirigida por Raoul Walsh, protagonizada por Clark Gable, Sidney Poitier e Yvonne De Carlo. Ambientada en el Sur de Estados Unidos antes y durante la Guerra de Secesión, la película es recordada por su tratamiento de temas raciales, de la esclavitud y por sus paralelismos con 'Lo que el viento se llevó'. Narra la historia de Amantha Starr, que crece como una sureña privilegiada en el sur de antes de la guerra, pero después de que su padre muera arruinado, su mundo se destruye cuando descubre que su madre era negra.

Jaume Segalés y su equipo comentan asuntos de la actualidad y traen las mejores recomendaciones culturales. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: Supervivencia de la consciencia durante la muerte clínica y Cine clásico: 'Los Lirios del Valle' Supervivencia de la consciencia durante la muerte clínica El estudio, publicado en The Innovation y difundido a través de ScienceDirect, ha sido liderado desde España por el Dr. Álex Escolà-Gascón, de la Universidad Pontificia Comillas, y por el Dr. Julián Benito-León, del Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre, imas12, CIBERNED y la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Ambos autores, principales responsables del trabajo, reabren el debate sobre cómo y por qué la consciencia humana mantiene procesos activos en situaciones de muerte clínica. Un hecho que los modelos científicos actuales vinculados a la neurociencia, la medicina crítica y la psicología no consiguen todavía explicar completamente. La investigación se desarrolló en 13 hospitales de España y Reino Unido, en los cuáles fueron analizados 142 pacientes reanimados tras una parada cardiorrespiratoria. Las personas monitorizadas se escogieron a partir de un cribado clínico de más de 15.000 pacientes con alto riesgo de parada cardiaca. De ese total, 2.418 sufrieron una parada, 677 sobrevivieron y, tras aplicar criterios clínicos y metodológicos estrictos, solo 142 casos pasaron al análisis final. Entrevistamos al Dr. Alex Escolá Gascón, quien también acaba de publicar el libro 'Las fronteras de lo posible' en el que profundiza sobre las cuestiones abordadas en dicha investigación. Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre 'Los lirios del valle' (Lilies of the field). Drama estadounidense de 1963 dirigida y producida por Ralph Nelson, protagonizada por Sidney Poitier, Lilia Skala , Stanley Adams y Dan Frazer y banda sonora a cargo del compositor Jerry Goldsmith. El título proviene del Sermón de la Montaña recogido por los evangelios de Lucas y Mateo.ç Una historia en la que Poitier interpreta a un trabajador itinerante al que una congregación de monjas alemanas considera que Dios se lo ha enviado para construirles una nueva capilla.

TVC 732.5: Actress and novelist Denise Nicholas (Room 222, In the Heat of the Night, Freshwater Road) talks to Ed about working with Sidney Poitier as a director three times (and how she particularly relished the comedic roles she played opposite Poitier and Bill Cosby in Let's Do It Again and A Piece of the Action); how she first met Carroll O'Connor long before they starred together in In the Heat of the Night (and before O'Connor came to mentor Denise as a writer); why she enjoys writing literary fiction among all other genres; and how Denise has "a little Norman Lear in her" as a writer. Denise's memoir, Finding Home, and her novel, Freshwater Road, are available wherever books are sold through Agate Publishing and Amazon.com. Denise Nicholas is also one of the six authors—along with Denise Billings, Otto Stallworth, Jr., GW Williams, Hattie Winston, and Charles Floyd Johnson—whose work is featured in A Gathering of Voices: The Longwood Writers Workshop, an anthology of vibrant, introspective, lyrical, and personal stories that provide a full, rich, and multidimensional look at life in Black America. A Gathering of Voices is available through BookBaby.com, Amazon.com, and LongwoodWritersWorkshop.com

Miguel Ángel González Suárez te presenta el Informativo de Primera Hora en 'El Remate', el programa matinal de La Diez Capital Radio que arranca tu día con: Las noticias más relevantes de Canarias, España y el mundo, analizadas con rigor y claridad. El líder opositor Péter Magyar arrasa en las elecciones en Hungría y pone fin a los 16 años de la era Orbán, que admite su derrota. El candidato del partido opositor Tisza logra una mayoría parlamentaria de dos tercios que le permite deshacer el sistema iliberal del actual primer ministro ultraconservador. Hoy se cumplen 1.515 días de guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania. 4 años y 48 días y 40 días de Guerra en Oriente Próximo y 5 días de Alto el fuego de las dos semanas que se han dado. Hoy es lunes 13 de abril de 2026. Día Internacional del Beso. El Día Internacional del Beso se celebra el 13 de abril como un homenaje al beso de más larga duración que se ha registrado en la historia, que tuvo lugar en Tailandia y duró 58 horas, 35 minutos y 58 segundos para conmemorar el Día de San Valentín. Además, esta fecha es un recordatorio de la importancia que tiene el beso para las relaciones humanas. 1499.- Fundación de la Universidad Complutense, por la bula que concede el Papa Alejandro IV y que transforma el Estudio General de Alcalá de Henares en Universidad. 1943: en la Bahía de San Francisco, se escapan cuatro presos (James Boardman, Fred Hunter, Harold Brest y Floyd G. Hamilton) de la Prisión de Alcatraz. Tal día como hoy 13 de abril de 1964, Sidney Poitier se convierte en el primer actor negro en ganar el Premio Oscar de Hollywood al mejor actor por su papel en Los Lirios del Valle. 1975.- Comienza la guerra civil en Líbano, que duró 15 años. Años más tarde, 13 de abril de 1997, Tiger Woods de 21 años se convierte en el golfista más joven en ganar el Torneo Masters de Augusta. 2002: en Venezuela, el presidente Hugo Chávez reasume el poder luego de haber sido depuesto por un golpe de Estado dos días antes. El 13 de abril de 2012 el rey tropezó en Botsuana, se rompió la cadera e inició el camino que conduciría a su abdicación. Esa fue la noche en la que a Juan Carlos I se le cayeron encima un elefante, Corinna y la Corona. Santos Hermenegildo, Martín I y Quintiniano. EE.UU. e Irán no ceden en sus puntos de discordia: las líneas rojas que evitan el acuerdo. Ucrania y Rusia intercambian 175 prisioneros antes del alto el fuego de Pascua ortodoxa. Ucrania y Rusia se acusan mutuamente de violar el alto el fuego de 36 horas de la Pascua Ortodoxa. Artemis II: el exitoso regreso del ser humano a la Luna que redefine la nueva carrera espacial. Las oportunidades para España de estrechar lazos con China: "No podemos dejar al margen a un gigante económico" Juan Carlos I recibe un premio por sus memorias en la Asamblea Nacional francesa: "Nadie es profeta en su tierra" Torres (PSOE) dice que las autonomías se “ahogarían” y se quedarían “sin futuro” si gobernara la derecha. Así lo ha asegurado en unas declaraciones a los medios en las que comentó que el PP es el que no cree en el estado de las autonomías y que es el partido que vota en contra de la distribución y mejor situación de los menores migrantes no acompañados. El problema del coche eléctrico en Canarias: uno de cada tres cargadores no funciona. El Archipiélago cuenta con 2.295 puntos de recarga, pero 710 están fuera de servicio. Felicitar efusivamente a la Presidencia del Cabildo de Tenerife por su ejemplar ejercicio de transparencia: 359.105 euros en publicidad institucional en apenas tres meses, repartidos entre 42 adjudicatarios, a un ritmo de 4.000 euros diarios. Es reconfortante saber que el dinero de los tinerfeños se invierte con tanta generosidad en contarles lo bien que se gestiona su isla. Especialmente meritorio resulta destinar 48.000 euros a promocionar una ecotasa que solo afecta a menos del 5% de los visitantes del Teide, o los 23.500 euros para publicitar el proyecto Constelación Canaria de Satélites.

“JAMES WONG HOWE: THE MAN WHO PAINTED WITH LIGHT” - 3/16/2026 (132) Today, we're going to step behind the camera and shine a spotlight—quite literally—on one of the most brilliant craftsmen Hollywood has ever seen. A man who helped shape the way movies look. If you've ever admired the stark black-and-white photography in Hud, the shadowy nighttime streets of Sweet Smell of Success, or the striking boxing scenes in Body and Soul, then you've already seen the artistry of cinematographer JAMES WONG HOWE. And whether you realized it or not, you were looking at the work of someone who had a huge influence on the visual language of film.

Segment 1: Zendaya continues to feed the rumors that she and Tom Holland were secretly married. The “Euphoria” star was seen wearing what appears to be a wedding ring to the premiere of her new film, “The Drama”. She previously appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, saying that even some of her close friends were disappointed to NOT be invited to the wedding, which evidently didn't happen. Or did it? Segment 2: Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco spent time on the beach following criticism of Blanco's dirty feet. Gomez posted a pic of them posing for a puckered-up selfie in front of a giant poster of Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi in “Wuthering Heights,” in a sun-filled living room overlooking a body of water. Hopefully, Benny dipped those dirty feet of his in the WATER. Segment 3: Jennifer Lopez was performing at her Las Vegas residency show when she tripped on stage at the Colisseum at Caesar's Palace while performing her 2011 hit “On the Floor.” Lopez, 56, was wearing a sparkly, black bodysuit with a giant red rose broach, when she went to kick her leg up and tripped. She's lucky her ASS didn't end up “ON THE FLOOR.” Segment 4: Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz seem to be getting serious. Yep. Despite them previously saying that they were “not exclusive”, they appear to be finding more time to be together. The couple was recently seen strolling around New York City arm in arm. Looks like Harry's celebrating his #1 album, ‘Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally' with his…AMERICAN GIRL. Segment 5: Michael B Jordan won the Best Actor Oscar for “Sinners” and he credited past winners that came before him like Sidney Poitier and Halle Berry. Jessie Buckley became the first Irish actress to win the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in “Hamnet.” If you haven't seen “Hamnet” yet, make sure you have plenty of TISSUES on hand. What? No. I'm not crying. Segment 6: Dead Or Alive: Adrian Grenier is best known as the lead in the hit HBO series “Entourage” that ran from 2004 to 2011. Dead Or Alive? ALIVE. Grenier appeared in the 2006 film “The Devil Wears Prada” opposite Anne Hathaway but he was NOT asked to join the upcoming sequel. Grenier is now better known as WHO? Segment 7: Doja Cat revealed she's struggling with borderline personality disorder. She said, quote, “I've learned from a very young age to pretend that I like stuff, to pretend that I'm happy, to appear like everything is okay. I'm now struggling with borderline personality disorder”. Unquote. She has been touring for months so WHICH personality did fans SEE? Segment 8: Ariana Madix will return to host “Love Island” Season 8 on June 2nd, from Fiji. Plus, NBC Universal streamer Peacock will air “Love Island: Beyond The Villa” which will premiere April 15th. Madix used to be a bartender at SUR in West Hollywood before appearing on the reality show ‘Vanderpump Rules'. This all proves that people love to watch CRAP. Segment 9: Steve Carrell, best known for “The Office” stars in “Rooster”, which was HBO's most-watched comedy premiere in the U.S. in 10 years. It reached 2.4 million U.S. cross-platform viewers in the first three days and SINCE then, the audience for “Rooster” has grown four times since premiere night. Grown FOUR times? That's what SHE said. Segment 10: Idiot Of The Week – Bethenny Frankel sliced her face open while trying a new beauty tool. The former “Real Housewives of New York City” star filmed the aftermath of the incident and shared it as a warning to her followers on social media. Holding a bloody wipe to her face to stop the gashes along her jaw from bleeding, she continues to be a bonified IDIOT! Segment 11: Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour's black stratocaster sold for a HUGE amount of money. The guitar Gilmore played on such classics as “Money” and “Comfortably Numb” sold at Christie's for a whopping 14 million, 550 thousand dollars. The pre-auction estimate was between 2 and 4 million, so those estimators must have been from the dark side of the moon… Segment 12: 101 Studios, the producers of “Landman” and “Yellowstone,” has acquired rights to “Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic,” a memoir by Bunnie Xo, aka MRS JELLYROLL. The best seller explores her rags-to-riches journey from a Las Vegas trailer park to media mogul-hood as the founder of Dumb Blonde Productions. She's now Jelly-Rollin' in cash. Segment 13: Larry David's HBO comedy series, “Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America” will satirize the United States in celebration of its 250th anniversary. It will also feature fellow Curb Your Enthusiasm regulars Jeff Garlin, JB Smoove and Susie Essman, and will premiere June 26th. PRETTY, PRETTY GOOD. Segment 14: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce DID get out to celebrate the Oscar parties in LA, but they were pretty hard to find. They mainly hung out at THE most exclusive Oscar party – Madonna's shindig at Manager Guy Oseary's house in the Hollywood Hills. But the power couple was also seen later sneaking into Beyonce and Jay Z's party at Chateau Marmot. Hmm. Are they hiding something? Segment 15 – Trash Bin: Kanye West has been ordered to pay his former project manager, Tony Saxon, following a lawsuit over the rapper's Malibu home. Saxon wasn't paid, was seriously injured, and was wrongfully terminated while working on West's 57 million dollar mansion. Though Saxon had asked for 1.7 MILLION in damages, he received ONLY 140 grand. Yé. Segment 16: News Wrap Up a) As the world becomes more cashless, there's a decreasing need for bank branches and ATM's. b) Amazon Prime will cost $4.99 a month in the U.S., up from $2.99, starting April 10th. c) Nintendo sold 2.2 million units of “Pokémon Pokopia” in the first four days after its release. d) Amazon owned Zoox has reached a partnership to offer its robotaxis on Uber's app. GADZOOKS, man. That's GOOD news! Segment 17: Number Ones – Hoppers, Harry Styles, Procreate Pocket, Judge Stone Segment 18: Song Of The Week – Alex Warren – “Fever Dream” Alex Warren’s night at the Grammys should have been a career high for him but INSTEAD, his performance of “Ordinary” was marred by technical difficulties. He tried to do his best but the delay caused him to be out of sync with the music track. He was so down that he was convinced he was finished in the music industry. He posted a video later explaining what happened, but deleted all his social media, not wanting to see people's comments. It turned out he received 60 million views and people were SUPPORTIVE.

La 98ª edición de los Óscar premia a 'Una batalla después de otra' con cinco galardones, incluyendo Mejor Película y Director para Paul Thomas Anderson, su primer Óscar. 'Valor Sentimental' de Noruega es la Mejor Película Internacional, mientras que 'Syrad' (España) no logra premio. Michael B. Jordan es Mejor Actor por 'Los Pecadores', siendo el sexto actor negro en conseguirlo. Jessie Buckley se lleva el Óscar a Mejor Actriz por 'Hamnet'. La Mejor Canción Original es 'Golden' de 'Las Guerreras del K-Pop'. La gala evoca momentos históricos como el bofetón de Will Smith, los primeros Óscar para actores negros (Hattie McDaniel y Sidney Poitier), errores de anuncio y el selfie de Ellen DeGeneres. Javier Bardem protesta contra la guerra y por la libertad de Palestina. Este año cinematográfico es flojo, destacando la calidad de producciones internacionales. La audiencia televisiva se mantiene baja.

Episode 192 - To Sir WIth Love (1967) "If you must play these filthy games, do them in your homes, and not in my classroom!" Set against the vibrant, swinging backdrop of 1960s London, To Sir, With Love is a timeless feel-good classic that radiates warmth and optimism. The film stars the legendary Sidney Poitier as Mark Thackeray, an unemployed engineer who takes a temporary teaching position at a rough-and-tumble East End school.   At first, the situation seems impossible. The students are rowdy, rebellious, and determined to drive their new teacher away just as they did the others. But Thackeray refuses to quit. In a pivotal, triumphant moment, he literally throws the textbooks into the bin and changes the rules. He decides to treat these "delinquents" not as children, but as adults, demanding nothing but mutual respect and dignity.   What follows is a delightful transformation. Through honest conversations about life, survival, and personal pride—and a charming class trip to a museum—the friction melts into friendship. The students, including the tough Denham and the spirited Peg, begin to blossom, realizing that Thackeray is the champion they never knew they needed.   The film culminates in the iconic end-of-term dance, a scene overflowing with joy and 60s style. When Lulu takes the stage to belt out the soaring title track, it captures the emotional peak of the story perfectly. It is a celebration of growth, gratitude, and the human connection. Ultimately, To Sir, With Love is a shining reminder that patience and kindness can change lives, leaving the audience cheering for the teacher who taught his students how to face the world.

Rafael Arinelli, Cecília Barroso e Pedro Amaro revisitam No Calor da Noite (1967), o thriller que fez Sidney Poitier dar o tapa mais importante da história do cinema. E não estamos exagerando.Lançado no auge do movimento pelos direitos civis, o filme de Norman Jewison transformou 2 milhões de dólares em 24 milhões de bilheteria e em um ato de resistência política. Poitier recebeu ameaças da Ku Klux Klan, a produção teve que sair do Mississippi por questões de segurança, e o ator exigiu em contrato o direito de revidar caso fosse agredido por um branco na tela. Aquele tapa não foi só roteiro. Foi revolução.Mas o papo vai além da cena viral: o grupo disseca como No Calor da Noite apresentou um trabalho revolucionário do fotógrafo Haskell Wexler (que literalmente inventou técnicas para iluminar pele negra porque as películas da época eram feitas para brancos), a montagem premiada de Hal Ashby e a trilha de Quincy Jones.Porém, tem crítica pesada também: por que Rod Steiger levou o Oscar de Melhor Ator e Poitier nem foi indicado? Por que Virgil Tibbs precisava ser "excepcional" para merecer respeito? E por que, em 2026, No Calor da Noite ainda parece tão atual?• 04m11: Pauta Principal• 1h14m17: Plano Detalhe• 1h21m24: EncerramentoOuça nosso Podcast também no:• Spotify: https://cinemacao.short.gy/spotify• Apple Podcast: https://cinemacao.short.gy/apple• Android: https://cinemacao.short.gy/android• Deezer: https://cinemacao.short.gy/deezer• Amazon Music: https://cinemacao.short.gy/amazonAgradecimentos aos padrinhos: • Bruna Mercer• Charles Calisto Souza• Daniel Barbosa da Silva Feijó• Diego Alves Lima• Eloi Xavier• Flavia Sanches• Gabriela Pastori Marino• Guilherme S.

The final podcast on Have You Ever Seen in Black History Month talks for the 4th time about a movie with a primarily black cast. Otto Preminger often directed Issues Movies and here he's dealing with the Gershwin opera that's all about murder, rape, drug addiction, fishing and poverty…with some racism thrown in there too. Porgy And Bess is set-bound and melodramatic though. Bad print aside, the story and the execution often feel phony. The actors DO sell the passion better than the script or maybe even the original opera does. Sidney Poitier, Dorothy Dandridge, Brock Peters, Diahann Carroll and Sammy Davis Jr. actually do a terrific job with this not-always-effective material. So tune in for this 721st episode as I tackle yet another musical here in 2026: Porgy And Bess. Well, Actually: George Gershwin DID write the song "Summertime" for the 1935 opera, but DuBose Heyward came up with the lyrics. Also, for those interested in my quest to see absolutely, positively everything AFI-related, there are developments on that front (other nominated films on various lists) that will be discussed in future shows.

Send us a textIn this episode, we are joined by Cheryl Boone Isaacs, a former Pan Am stewardess from 1972 to 1974 who went on to build an extraordinary career in Hollywood. Her journey is a remarkable one that spans aviation, Hollywood, and film education. She began her professional career as a Pan Am stewardess from 1972 to 1974, an experience that gave her a global perspective and a deep appreciation for storytelling and human connection.After leaving Pan Am, Cheryl moved to San Franscico where she held various jobs. However, she always thought about either going back into aviation or pursuing her dream of being in the film business inspired in part by her brother, Ashley Boone, a pioneering film executive. Learn more about Ashley here: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/he-was-star-wars-secret-weapon-why-was-he-forgotten-1275211/Through him, she attended an advanced screening of Star Wars before its release in May 1977. That moment proved transformational and solidified her belief that the motion picture industry was where she belonged. So, she packed her bags and moved to Hollywood. Over the decades that followed, Cheryl worked on the marketing, publicity, and release of some of the most iconic films in cinema history. Her credits include Forrest Gump, Titanic, The King's Speech, Braveheart, The Artist, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Right Stuff, Once Upon a Time in America, The Wedding Singer, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, and Spider-Man 2. She also worked on two Indiana Jones films and five Star Trek films.Behind the scenes, Cheryl broke significant barriers. She became the first African American woman to lead a major studio marketing department at New Line Cinema, and later the first African American to serve as President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, where she guided the organization through a pivotal period of reflection and change.Today, she continues shaping the future of storytelling as the Founding Director and Professor of Practice at the Sidney Poitier New American Film School at Arizona State University (film.asu.edu). In that role, she mentors students and builds a program grounded in Sidney Poitier's legacy, emphasizing inclusion, leadership, and real-world industry experience.From the skies of Pan Am to Hollywood studios and now the classroom, Cheryl Boone Isaacs' career reflects a lifelong commitment to storytelling, leadership, and opening doors for future generations. Support the show Visit Us for more Pan Am History!

Encore! Encore! This December Janet, John, (and Pen) wanted to revist the astounding life of the director of A Warm December, an extremely talented actor, activist, and diplomat... Sidney Poitier! Born in Miami, Florida on February 20th in 1927, this Bahamian-American actor changed the game for black actors forever in the motion-picture industry by becoming the African American to win the Academy Award for best actor and the first Black movie star. Even though he seemed destined for the stage and stardom, Poitier worked hard to amass such a massive career in Hollywood. He got his start in the American Negro Theatre after applying for the second time after a previous rejection because of his accent (which he worked on changing to American pronounciation for six months). While studying acting, he made his Broadway debut in Lyrsistrata in 1946. His first film role was as Dr. Luther Brooks, a hospital's only Black doctor who treats a bigoted white cirminal, in No Way Out (1950). His refusal to play into racial sterotypes helped create inroads for Black people into American media culture. He later starred, worked in, and directed many films such as, Porgy and Bess (1959), A Raisin in the Sun (1961), and A Patch of Blue (1965), A Warm December (1973), Uptown Saturday Night (1974), and Stir Crazy (1980).  He also went onto winning  the Academy Award for Best Actor for Lilies of the Field (1963). He also received a Grammy Award, two Golden Globe Awards, and a British Academy Film Award!

Before becoming a rock ‘n' roll frontman, Michael Des Barres was making his mark on screen—starring alongside Sidney Poitier in the 1967 classic To Sir, With Love. But it wasn't long before he traded the film set for the stage, forming glam rock outfit Silverhead in the early '70s before moving on to Detective, one of the few bands signed to Led Zeppelin's legendary Swan Song label. Hanging with Page, Plant, and Bonham was all part of the ride. In this episode of My Rock Moment, Michael shares his wild journey through music and acting—from those early days in London to writing one of the biggest songs of the 80s, to stepping in with The Power Station just days before Live Aid, and later, his unforgettable run as Murdoc on MacGyver. We also talk about his time with Pamela Des Barres, his show on Little Steven's Underground Garage, and the wise advice Sidney Poitier gave him early on. Michael Des Barres has lived a life where Hollywood and rock 'n roll collide—and he's got the stories to prove it.

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched the (rightfully) forgotten thriller The Jackal, a loose adaptation of The Day of the Jackal directed by Michael Caton-Jones and starring Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Sidney Poitier and Diane Venora.In The Jackal, Willis plays the titular assassin, a feared hitman who has been hired by Russian mobsters to assassinate the director of the FBI, in retaliation for American activity in Russia. As the Jackal makes his arrangements, FBI Deputy Director Carter Preston (Poitier) and Russian Police Major Valentina Koslova (Venora) scour their sources for leads in a search that leads to imprisoned IRA sniper Declan Mulqueen (Gere). Mulqueen knows the Jackal and will help the FBI find him — if he gets his freedom in return. What follows is a chase across the world, as Carter, Koslova and Mulqueen race to stop the Jackal, whose ultimate target is the First Lady of the United States.The tagline for The Jackal was “How do you stop an assassin who has no identity?”You can find The Jackal to rent or purchase on Apple TV or Amazon Prime.Episodes come out roughly every two weeks, so we'll see you then with an episode on Tomorrow Never Dies, the second entry in Pierce Brosnan's run as James Bond.Over on Patreon, we have an episode on the first Mobile Suit Gundam compliation film.

As we continue to honor impactful artists during Black History Month, we turn to a legitimate legend - Sidney Poitier. Very few people have bucked as many odds as he did. After almost dying at birth, and growing up in near-poverty, Sidney immigrates to the US from from the Bahamas as a boy. Once there, he deals with racism, death threats, homelessness, and an industry that wants nothing to do with him. But he forges ahead, refusing to quit, and makes history with an Oscar win that opens the door - not only for Black people in Hollywood - but all over the world.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.
