With 28 Years Later just around the corner + Cillian Murphy CONFIRMED for sequels, The Scream Queens are BACK to give their 28 Days Later Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Roxy Striar & Tara Erickson as they navigate the haunting aftermath of a viral apocalypse in Danny Boyle's 2002 horror thriller 28 Days Later, written by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Warfare) & Directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire). When bicycle courier Jim (Cillian Murphy, acclaimed for Peaky Blinders and Dunkirk) awakens from a coma in an abandoned London hospital, he discovers the city—indeed, the country—has been overrun by Rage-infected “zombies.” As Jim ventures into desolate streets and encounters the infected, he crosses paths with fellow survivors Selena (Naomie Harris, Oscar-nominated for Moonlight and star of Pirates of the Caribbean), the teenage siblings Hannah (Megan Burns, seen in 28 Weeks Later and Kill Your Friends) and Mark (Noah Huntley, Mission: Impossible), and ex-Soldier Frank (Brendan Gleeson, known for In Bruges and The Guard). Christopher Eccleston (famed as the Ninth Doctor in Doctor Who and for The Others) also stars as Major Henry West, whose apparent military base & sanctuary holds a darker secret. The climactic sequence—where Jim slashes through the compound's gate, Selena is forced to fight regenerating infected in the pouring rain, and Major West's own brutal end—remains one of horror's most unforgettable finales. Don't miss our breakdown of every bone-chilling highlight—from Jim's initial shock at an eerily silent London, to the church siege and the frantic jeep sequence, to the shocking betrayals and the film's bleak yet hopeful closing shot on a deserted motorway. Tune in as Roxy & Tara dissect how 28 Days Later redefined modern zombie cinema with its relentless pacing, raw emotional stakes, and unflinching portrayal of societal collapse.

"Mastery Through Love: Transcending Time and Illusion" Time is a trick and an illusion, with figures appearing and disappearing as if by magic. However, behind these appearances is a plan of atonement. At the end of the journey, we imagine and review our mental experiences. David and Marina show the movie Slumdog Millionaire, that follows the main character on a journey of love and mastery through love. This journey is not about fear but mastery through love; we must be willing and ready to achieve mastery. David and Marina emphasize that we are in charge of time and space, and the miracle collapses time for us. We are here to undo the belief in linear time and dispel the trick of thinking there is a world outside ourselves. The greatest gift of all is our identity, created in spirit by God. God's free will is hidden from our awareness, but the only part of God's will that remains is through our willingness to open our hearts and minds and let go of the past. Enjoyed listening to David's undoing of the ego commentary and am interested in listening to the entire talk.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was a huge game show that started in 1998, and then it became a global phenomenon by around 2005. Soooo .... it isn't surprising that a film that was made based on that show. But no one could have imagined the huge success this small film that had a hard time getting any funding to be made, about that game show in India, and was directed by a white British filmmaker. Slumdog Millionaire is more than just a film about a game show. It's about poverty, class and culture wars,  love and destiny. It was a huge winner at the Academy Awards that year, but does this surprise blockbuster still hold up so many years later? Did it, in retrospect, deserve to win the Oscar for Best Picture?Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about The Best Years of Our Lives, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1946.Download, listen, and share ALL Rewatching  Oscar episodes.SUBSCRIBE and FOLLOW Rewatching Oscar:Website: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comApple Podcasts/iTunesSpotifyGoogle PodcastsiHeart RadioPodchaserPodcast AddictTuneInAlexaAmazon Overcasts Podcast Addict Player FMRSS Feed: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1815964.rssWebsite: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comSocial Media Links: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, BlueSkyShare your thoughts and suggestions with us through:Facebook Messanger or email us atjack@rewatchingoscar.com or jackferdman@gmail.comMusic by TurpacShow Producer: Jack FerdmanPodcast Logo Design: Jack FerdmanMovie (audio) trailer courtesy of MovieClips Classic TrailersMovie (audio) clips courtesy of YouTubeSupport us by downloading, sharing, and giving us a 5-star Rating.  It helps our podcast continue to reach many people and make it available to share more episodes with everyone.Send us a text

“Travel does not require leaving your city or state or country, but it does require leaving your comfort zone. And that can happen a block or two away from where you live.” –Chloe Cooper Jones In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Chloe talk about why a section about “slum tourism” was cut out of Rolf’s newest book The Vagabond’s Way (2:30); how so much of what we talk about when we talk about travel has industrialized middle-class presumptions (7:30); the motivations and ethical considerations that underpin seeking out disadvantaged neighborhoods as a traveler (15:00); how preconceived narratives and “cultural extraction” often motivates people’s experience in a city, in ways that do not always benefit the city (25:00); what “dark tourism” and “voluntourism” are, and what the ethical ramifications are for travelers (32:00); and the difference between articulating ideals, and the work of acting on those ideals (45:00). Chloe Cooper Jones (@CCooperJones) is the author of Easy Beauty: A Memoir. She has been a Pulitzer Prize finalist in Feature Writing, and was the recipient of a Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant, as well as a Howard Foundation Grant from Brown University.

Get to know actress and activist Freida Pinto! Freida is known for acclaimed films such as ‘Slumdog Millionaire,' 'Trishna,' 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes,' 'Desert Dancer,' and ‘Knight of Cups.' She has been involved with Girl Rising, a global campaign for girls' education and empowerment, for 4 years. In this interview she explains where her commitment to activism comes from. This episode is originally aired in October of 2020.

In this episode, we're diving into Kneecap, Ireland's submission for Best International Feature at the 2024 Academy Awards. This high-energy film follows the Irish rap group Kneecap as they bring hip-hop to life in old Irish Gaelic, pushing back against cultural repression. It's got that same adrenaline rush as Whiplash and Slumdog Millionaire, but with a completely unique voice. We'll break down why Kneecap stands out, how diverse storytelling can break through, and why filmmakers should focus on creating authentic, fresh perspectives—without forcing it. If you love films that introduce you to new worlds, this episode is for you.

Oscar Month continues! Bev's couple of weeks off begins! She's not here to talk about The King's Speech, which is a classy movie that ended up being a huge hit, even though it's about a group of people that Ryan has never liked: the royals? A monarchy? In a democracy? Yet, credit where it's due, Tom Hooper does an admirable job of making a non-fan care about the king of England and his enunciation---and also Nazi-related---troubles. Colin Firth won gold for his work as the stuttering Prince Albert/King George VI who gets a job he never wanted while his supportive wife (Helena Bonham Carter) and unorthodox speech therapist (Geoffrey Rush) are just about his only support system. The King's Speech is often quite touching and it's even inspirational, showing a privileged man have to deal with confidence issues, loneliness, his uncaring fellow royals and duty to his country. So don't storm off in anger. Just tune into the 651st episode of Have You Ever Seen and listen to one man's speech...about a speech. Well, Actually: while Slumdog Millionaire started the trend of the entire cast & crew in attendance at the Oscars going up on stage when the film wins Best Picture, the entire LOTR: ROTK cast & crew DID go up on stage the year THEY won Best Picture. Also, Helena Bonham Carter plays "Bellatrix Lestrange" in the Harry Potter series, not "Beatrix". We are sponsored by the coffee that's fit for a king or a queen: Sparkplug Coffee.

Then, Dev describes his intense creative process, how he landed his TV debut at sixteen as a sex-crazed teenager on Skins, and his life-changing role in Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire. On the back-half, Patel reflects on his years in The Newsroom, the films that followed, including Garth Davis’ Lion and David Lowery’s The Green Knight, and how director/producer Jordan Peele saved Monkey Man from oblivion.

Movie of the Year: 1996TrainspottingExploring Trainspotting (1996): Danny Boyle, Scotland's 90s, and the Iconic Friends in FocusThe Movie of the Year podcast's episode on Trainspotting delves into the gritty, stylish, and controversial 1996 film directed by Danny Boyle. This seminal movie captures the chaos of addiction, the humor of flawed friendship, and the vibrancy of Scotland in the 1990s. From its unforgettable ensemble cast to its iconic soundtrack, Trainspotting continues to resonate as a cultural and cinematic landmark.Danny Boyle: The Vision Behind TrainspottingDanny Boyle, the director behind Trainspotting, is a central focus of the episode. His innovative style and ability to merge dark humor with raw emotion propelled this film—and his career—to new heights. The podcast highlights how Boyle's kinetic direction and bold use of music, including Iggy Pop's “Lust for Life” and Underworld's “Born Slippy,” turned Trainspotting into a sensory masterpiece.The hosts also explore how Boyle's compassionate lens captures the humanity of even the most flawed characters. They discuss how this approach laid the groundwork for his future films, including Slumdog Millionaire and 28 Days Later, cementing Boyle's status as a visionary filmmaker.The Film's Group of Friends: Complex, Flawed, and UnforgettableAt its heart, Trainspotting is a character-driven story about a group of friends navigating heroin addiction, poverty, and fleeting hope. The podcast celebrates the cast's stellar performances:Ewan McGregor as Renton: The conflicted protagonist seeking a way out of the chaos.Robert Carlyle as Begbie: A volatile presence who adds danger to every scene.Ewen Bremner as Spud: The lovable screw-up whose humanity shines through.Jonny Lee Miller as Sick Boy: The charming schemer with a sharp tongue.The hosts dive into how these characters strike a balance between humor and heartbreak, creating a portrayal of friendship that is as chaotic as it is relatable.Scotland of the 90s: A Stark Yet Vibrant BackdropThe podcast's discussion extends to the setting: Scotland in the 1990s. Trainspotting portrays a gritty Edinburgh where picturesque landscapes contrast with urban decay. This vivid backdrop is more than just scenery; it's a character in itself.The episode examines the socio-economic challenges of the time, including unemployment and drug epidemics, which shaped the film's narrative. The hosts also commend Danny Boyle's authentic use of Scottish dialect and real locations, which ground the story in its cultural moment.Why Trainspotting Still MattersThe Movie of the Year podcast passionately argues that Trainspotting remains an essential cinematic experience. Danny Boyle's daring vision, the unforgettable group of friends, and its authentic depiction of Scotland's 90s culture ensure its lasting impact.For podcast listeners and movie lovers, this episode offers fresh insights into a film that continues to challenge, inspire, and entertain.

[School of Movies 2024] This is an exceptionally long-awaited episode for us. One of the very first films discussed on our very first episode, way back in April 2007, mentioned repeatedly in the intervening 17 years, and promised over and over. Now we finally reach it, one of the most special and meaningful films to us. It was directed by Danny Boyle after 28 Days later but before Slumdog Millionaire. It very overtly draws inspiration from Aliens and 2001, it stars Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, Michelle Yeoh, Rose Byrne, Hiroyuki Sanada Cliff Curtis, Benedict Wong and Mark Strong. It was written by Alex Garland, scored by John Murphy and Underworld, it made one twentieth the box office of Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. ...and it is quite literally BRILLIANT.

Hi friends! We're closing out 2024 with a great Best Picture winner, and an episode that couldn't follow a linear thought if it tried. This season of our Oscar Rewind series was a mixed bag for us, but we all agree that of the films nominated, Slumdog Millionaire deserved the big win.

Vikas Swarup's new novel, The Girl With the Seven Lives (Simon & Schuster India: 2024), opens with its main character Devi locked in a room, forced to retell her life's story. Or, rather, her life's stories–starting in the slums of Delhi, Devi reinvents herself time-and-time-again, with a new name and a new backstory, as she tries to carve a niche for herself in Indian society–only to be knocked back down, and be forced to start anew, with a new name. Vikas joins the show today to talk about his novel, which settings are perhaps ripped from the headlines, and what The Girl with the Seven Lives says about the idea of meritocracy. Vikas Swarup is a former diplomat, television host and best-selling author who gained global recognition with his debut novel, Q&A (Scribner: 2005). It was filmed as the multiple-Oscar-winning ‘Slumdog Millionaire'. His second book Six Suspects (Random House: 2008) was converted into a nine-part web series titled ‘The Great Indian Murder', which premiered on Disney+Hotstar and Hulu on the 4th of February, 2022 and became the most watched Hotstar Special ever. His third novel, The Accidental Apprentice (Simon and Schuster UK: 2013), is also being adapted for the screen.

Ben & Rob take a jab at ‘Monkey Man', Dev Patel's 2024 brand new feature film; his first in the director's seat, his first in the writer's room and without question the best starring turn of his career. When ‘The Kid' (Patel) is wronged by those in power, he will stop at nothing to find the justice he needs and the audience craves, fighting not only for himself but the survival of those he represents. Also starring Sharlto Copley, Pitobash Tripathy, Vipin Sharma, Sikandar Kher, Adithi Kalkunte and Sobhita Dhulipala, ‘Monkey Man' might just be the best debut film by any film-maker we've ever seen; a heart-pounding action stunner with a heart and soul to match.Getting this film from script to screen was its own heroic battle, with writer/director and star Dev Patel needing as much determination and willpower as his epic protagonist. But how did this film so successfully steal the hearts of our hosts? Why might this be the most important film for you to support this year? And why is Rob so hopelessly enraged and bitter about UK teen-drama show ‘Skins'?!CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS!

Franklin Leonard is the founder and CEO of The Black List, a platform that nurtures emerging screenwriters and gives screenplays that aren't attached to a big producer, actor or studio a chance to be produced. Since The Black List's founding in 2005, 440 scripts from its annual survey have been produced as feature films, grossing $30 billion in box office worldwide. These films have earned 267 Academy Award nominations and 54 wins, including four Best Picture Oscars (Spotlight, Slumdog Millionaire, The King's Speech, Argo). In this episode of DB|BD, Leonard talks about the most pressing issues Hollywood faces, the business case for giving more diverse screenwriters a shot, and why he believes making the film industry a true meritocracy will naturally lead to more diverse filmmaking.On this season of DB|BD,  co-hosts Jessica Helfand and Ellen McGirt are observing equity by highlighting the “redesigners” — people who are addressing urgent problems by challenging big assumptions about how the world can and should work — and who it should work for. This season of DB|BD is powered by Deloitte. Visit our site for more on this episode and to view a transcript.To learn more about The Black List, visit their website. Franklin Leonard's Ted Talk: How I Accidentally Changed the Way Movies Get MadeThe Black Film ArchiveFollow The Design of Business | The Business of Design on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast app. Episodes are produced by Design Observer's editorial team.

Dev Patel, the Oscar-nominated star of acclaimed films such as Slumdog Millionaire and Lion, has become the latest Hollywood actor to take his career in a new direction.....by directing this propulsive revenge action thriller taking place in a fictional city within India modeled on Mumbai.  Patel also stars as "Kid" who is a young drifter on a mission to avenge the death of his mother at the hands of corrupt local politicians, gangsters, police, and even religious leaders. And while he's attempting to infiltrate their organization working low-level service jobs, he moonlights as a bare-knuckles fighter on the side ALWAYS wearing a monkey mask....in an attempt to emulate a legend he has known of since he was a kid of Hanuman the Monkey God. Hence the title. ;) And as the story progresses, so does his plan to exact revenge....and the violence predictably escalates as well.  Also co-starring in this production are Pitobash, Vipin Sharma, Sobhita Dhulipala, and Sharlto Copley. Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

If one of the things on your bucket list is to see a movie that is part John Wick, part RRR and part Slumdog Millionaire, prepare to be happy. I give you Monkey Man directed by Slumdog Millionaire's Dev Patel. He also stars in this as the main character named Kid who is a street fighter that gets paid to be the heel in fights. The guy that gets beat up and loses every night. He wears a monkey mask hence the name of the movie. However there is more than meets the eye with this guy. He's not just going through life aimlessly getting beat up nightly. He's trying to get to someone however he can. What does he want with them? What is he going to do to them? We are shown whoever it is, they're part of a corrupt, violent, evil criminal empire and Kid is going to have to watch his every move or it could be his last. The movie is stylish, yet gritty and grimy. You get brutal fighting, high speed chases and beautiful women. Does it all add up to a movie that you should check out at the theater? Watch this episode to find out that very thing. Monkey Man also stars Sharlto Copley, Pitobash, Vipin Sharma, Sikandar Kher, Adithi Kalkunte, Sobhita Dhulipala, Ashwini Kalsekar, Makrand Deshpande, Jatin Malik and Zakir Hussain.Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

Actor Dev Patel has pursued interesting, complex roles in Hollywood since his debut in Slumdog Millionaire fifteen years ago. He joins us today to discuss Monkey Man, his directorial debut and most personal project to date. At the top, we walk through the Hindu mythology that inspired the film (12:30), his decade-long fight to get the project greenlit (16:17), and the conditions of filming on an island during the pandemic (18:08). Then, Dev describes his intense creative process (27:02), how he landed his TV debut at sixteen as a sex-crazed teenager on Skins (28:33), and his life-changing role in Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire (35:40). On the back-half, Patel reflects on his years in The Newsroom (47:24), the films that followed, including Garth Davis' Lion (49:52) and David Lowery's The Green Knight (51:30), and how director/producer Jordan Peele saved Monkey Man from oblivion (56:32).

Here are five positive/interesting/fun things that'll hopefully make you smile, make you laugh, and make you think. And in case you missed it, check out the previous iteration.1. Beyoncé Finally Releases Her Long-Awaited Country AlbumIt had been rumored for years, and on Friday, we finally got it: Beyoncé dropped Cowboy Carter, her eighth studio album, a widely-anticipated country music record that's already garnering universal acclaim. I reviewed it this weekend, and I can confidently say it's a masterpiece. Y'all should check it out. But I want to pay special emphasis to a particular moment. Beyoncé covered the classic Lennon-McCartney song “Blackbird” and featured four Black women country music artists in the vocals, including Tiera Kennedy, who posted her reaction to hearing her voice on the record. And it's absolutely lovely.2. This Random Dolly Parton Video Makes Me SmileOkay, admittedly, not-so-random. Dolly Parton was featured heavily on Beyoncé's new album, including in an intro to a cover of “Jolene" and that sent me down a Dolly Parton rabbit hole and I came across a video (below) in which Parton's casual genius is captured during an appearance on The Tonight Show w/ Johnny Carson.Notice how she's perfectly strumming with those long, acrylic nails? She's making it look easy, and that is not one bit easy. At all. The woman has always been ridiculously talented and somehow under-appreciated.3. Iowa-LSU Rematch Scores Huge RatingsWomen's college basketball has been the biggest show in American sports over the past few weeks, and Tuesday's game between Iowa and LSU in an Elite Eight rematch of last year's championship game proved no different. More than 12.3 million viewers tuned-in to watch LSU's Angel Reese and Flau'jae Johnson take on Iowa's Caitlyn Clark.For all you non-sportsball fans, that's a huge number, not just for women's college basketball but any sports event. More people watched this game than last year's World Series, last year's NBA Finals, and every regular season college football game, save Ohio State vs. Michigan.Men's college basketball is somehow an afterthought, which is remarkable given that N.C. State's men's team is in the middle of an incredible cinderella run.I say that to emphasize this: both these tournaments have been great fun to watch, but it is abundantly clear that the country is simply more interested in the women's tournament.Could I let this moment pass without some tongue-in-cheek commentary? Y'all know me too well. I could not. Enjoy this bit of satire.4. Dev Patel Talks About Surprising Trans Representation in “Monkey Man”One of the most hotly anticipated films of the year is about to drop this weekend, but first, some quick background for y'all:For years, beloved actor Dev Patel has been slowly building a remarkable filmography: Slumdog Millionaire (2009), Lion (2016), and The Green Knight (2021) are just a handful of examples. But he's always wanted to do an action film. The problem is that no studio would cast him in an action vehicle. So, he thought: you know what? I'll make the damn thing myself. He co-wrote the screenplay and directed it, and buzz really started to build after Jordan Peele saw a rough cut and quickly moved to acquire the film under his company Monkeypaw Productions (to be clear, the name is a coincidence).Then the trailer dropped two months ago, and the world immediately understood what Mr. Peele saw. It looks absolutely breathtaking and is poised to be one of the most original and exciting flicks in recent memory.So, the anticipation is already off-the-charts for “Monkey Man” — but things got kicked up a notch this week when Dev Patel addressed the surprising inclusion of the Hijra community in the film. These are third gender (or nonbinary) individuals in South Asia, throughout which is a large network of transgender communities, the largest of whom are the Hijra.Mr. Patel was asked about this on the red carpet, and his answer is beautiful.5. Kids with Xylophones Deliver Smash Cover of Ozzy's “Crazy Train”Okay, this video is from 11 years ago, but when I saw it, I was so absolutely charmed that I had to include it in this week's edition. In 2012, the Louisville Leopard Percussionists—most of whom have definitely graduated college by now—performed a stellar cover of Ozzy Osbourne's “Crazy Train” and it'll make you smile.Have a lovely weekend, y'all!

Danny Boyle, the visionary behind the 2012 London Olympic opening ceremony and the Oscar-winning director of films like Slumdog Millionaire, Yesterday and Trainspotting, returns to his home town of Manchester, England, to direct a hip-hop dance spectacular to open a breath-taking new venue, Aviva Studios. The show, called Free Your Mind, is based on the Wachowskis' Matrix franchise and updates the concept of a dystopian future to reflect recent developments in artificial intelligence. We go behind the scenes to eavesdrop on rehearsals and meet Danny and his creative team.
