Today's great political film is Frank Capra's Mr Smith Goes to Washington (1939), a much-loved tale of the little guy taking on the corrupt establishment. But there's far more to it than that, including an origin story that suggests Jefferson Smith (James Stewart) might not be what he seems. From filibusters to fascism, from the New Deal to America First, from Burton K. Wheeler to Harry S. Truman, this is a heart-warming film that still manages to go to the dark heart of American politics.To hear our bonus episode on Philip Roth's The Plot Against America (in which Burton K.

Join as we compare one of the greatest films of all time with an anomaly from the 1990's. One is about American idealism (or is it naivety) and the other a thinly veiled portrait of Bill Clinton's election campaign. We're doing Frank Capra's Mr Smith Goes To Washington (1939) and Mike Nichols' Primary Colors (1998). Brought to you in partnership with the United States Study Centre- https://www.ussc.edu.au/
The September Movie of the Month was chosen by James Wilson of "Blogging by Cinema Light". His choice of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" comes after three previous attempts with narrow losses. This week was no competition and James hosts the show. He is joined by Damien Riley of "Riley on Film" and also by Matthew Simpson from "The Awesome Friday Podcast". Mr. Smith is one of the ten nominees for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, from 1939, a year that is considered the greatest in American Film History. Two of the people on this week's episode are veterans of the film, but the other two saw it for the first time this week. Come listen to us talk about this Classic film and why it is timeless and essential.

A new series from our friends at Voyage Media! Based on a true story. Sidney Buchman was nominated for four Oscars, but his career came to a screeching halt when he was accused of communist ties. In a wild true story of art imitating life, Sidney, who wrote "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington", would have his own face-off with Washington, when he was pressured to "name names" of other suspected communists to get himself off the hook. Would Sidney choose his honor, or his career? Michael B. Silver, Sidney's real-life grandson (and an accomplished actor and writer himself), plays his grandfather in this scripted audio drama podcast reminiscent of TV and movies like "The West Wing", and "The Trial Of The Chicago 7". https://www.voyagemedia.fm/show/mr-buchman-goes-to-washington/ Check this series out before the new episode of Tower 4 which is out next week!!!

This week, Jeff gripes about AMC A-List reservations and what they can learn from bars and airlines before the boys discuss the incredible 1939 film year, leading to our featured conversation about the nostalgic British boarding school film ‘Goodbye, Mr. Chips'. Directed by staunch anti-commie Sam Wood, this movie stars Robert Donat in an Oscar-winning role, and Greer Garson in her first-ever film, and the first of her 5 consecutive years with Best Actress nominations, tied for the most ever with Bette Davis. This movie may not have the name recognition of some other 1939 films, such as ‘Gone With The Wind', ‘The Wizard of Oz', ‘Mr. Smith Goes To Washington', or ‘Stagecoach', but it may have inspired every boarding school movie you've ever seen, especially the ‘Harry Potter' series!

A special episode of Films that I Own That I Haven't Watched Yet, recorded shortly after Christmas last year (so only took me the best part of a year to edit and upload!) Four films, all linking from one to the next - so not chosen at random.The first Mr Smith Goes To Washington (1939) - from director Frank Capra and starring James Stewart (who would later work together on Its A Wonderful Life), Jean Arthur and Claude Rains - a political comedy drama in which Stewart plays a newly appointed Senator who is battling a corrupt political system. Then, I watch and review the festive romantic comedy The Shop Around The Corner (1940) - another James Stewart movie, a romantic comedy directed by Ernst Lubitsch in which Stewart plays alongside Margaret Sullivan as two employees working in a leathergoods shop, who dispite loathing each otrher in person are actually falling in love via anonymous letters.Film 3 is You've Got Mail. (1998) which sees Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks star in a Nora Ephron retelling of the Shop Around the Corner, for the digital age, as Meg Ryan plays a small book shop owner who is put out of business by the book store chain owner, Hanks, but again, via anonymous emails they strike up a loving relationshipFinally, film 4 is Nora Ephron's whimsical remake of the classic TV Series Bewtitched, in which Will Farrell plays a fading TV star trying to boost his career by relaunching a classic TV show (Bewtitched) by casting unknown actress (and actual witch) played by Nicole Kidman. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Things Discussed: BGSU: The interceptions! Brian says he was wrong and Seth/Devin/Butt/Everyone else was right that Barner drifted too far back. Was that on Barner or the design? Barner, also Barnhart getting beat and JJ didn't put it where he wanted to. Second INT: Johnson has to run his route even if Wilson was the right read. Third INT: Shoot your shot! Sam/Craig/Program disagree. BGSU: The run game. We love Henderson's reach. He seems to be comfortable. Guess is Barnhart/Zinter is their best combination on the right side and that means they go with the next left tackle, who is Henderson. BGSU: The defense. Nobody wants any part of these DTs—third straight opponent throwing most of their offense in the recycling bin because they can't block inside. Graham is the best. Jenkins is a star. Grant is a freak. Don't sleep on Benny. Goode had a good game. We even like Trey Pierce. Rutgers: They have a real defense. Michigan is going to take them seriously. Their offense need not be. Gene Smith goes to Congress. Real talk: The Congressional Black Caucus was going to craft federal legislation because the states were all going with different rules, but anything other than that is just grandstanding. The reason the NCAA is there is to see if they can grasp something they don't deserve and nobody wants them to have from the fact that half of Washington is for sale, but what they don't realize is they are too toxic for anyone but Ted Cruz to take their money. MSU? They should try to get a guy who's not in a job this year and get him to start recruiting because they're headed for a Year Zero. The upshot of being Transfer U is those guys can't transfer again. Mel Tucker is getting paid off because if they don't there's going to be Discovery.

Welcome to “Pop Break Goes to Washington” where host Allison Lips is joined by a special guest to discuss the historical significance and impact of a political film. Allison and her guests discuss how politics is portrayed in each film. While this podcast focuses on the American political system, it does make a few forays outside of the United States. For our first episode, Allison and Aaron Sarnecky from The Anniversary Brothers podcast explore the themes present in the movie that inspired the title of this podcast: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. The movie made a splash when it debuted at an event sponsored by the National Press Club. While politicians and the press criticized the James Stewart vehicle, the public bought enough tickets to make it the second highest grossing film at the 1939 box office-behind Gone with the Wind. Join Allison and Aaron as they debate whether the classic 1939 Frank Capra film holds up today and deserves its reputation as one of the best films ever.
“You're not a Senator, you're an honorary stooge."REBROADCASTCapra's Film Stands As Strong As EverIt's rare to find a film from 75 years ago that feels relevant still in today's world, but Frank Capra's 1939 Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is one of those films. Corruption in the Senate? Check. Corporate interests secretly working their own machinations behind the scenes to get their political puppets to do their bidding? Check. Cynical office staff who are only interested in making a buck? Check. Sad to say that the only thing that doesn't feel modern is that a politician like James Stewart's titular character could actually exist. Or at least survive in today's political world. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue with our great films from 1939 series with Capra's fantastic film Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Here's What We Chat AboutWe talk about how much we love this film and why, highlighting everything aforementioned. We chat about Stewart and Jean Arthur as the perfect leads for this film, aided by the wonderful supporting cast including Edward Arnold, Harry Carey, Claude Rains, Thomas Mitchell and more. We discuss how the Washington, D.C. press and the real Senators received the film compared with the general public. And we discuss the people behind the cameras with Capra and what they bring to the table – Joseph Walker, Lionel Banks, Dimitri Tiomkin, Sidney Buchman, Lewis R. Foster and more. It's a top notch film that still speaks to its audiences, all while avoiding being cheesy while full of honesty. We love it. Make sure you watch this one and then tune in!

Today, we'll take a look at the 1939 movie, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, in which Jefferson Smith, leader of the state's Boy Rangers, is an innocent, wide-eyed idealist who idolizes the senior senator of the state, Joseph Paine. But when Smith discovers that Sen. Paine has introduced a pork barrel bill to use the Boy Rangers camp's land to make money for himself and his business partners, Mr. Smith attempts to expose the scam. Senator Paine uses his power with the news media to accuse Smith of stealing money from the Boy Rangers. Risking his own reputation, he exposes Senator Paine as a charlatan. We'll consider this question from C.S. Lewis' book, Mere Christianity by asking: To create a truly Christian society, wouldn't we want to apply the Golden Rule – to love our neighbors as ourselves?To see a video version of this podcast, go to my rumble account at www.rumble.com/wisejargon. order Discovering Mere Christianity at the Movies, go to www.payhip.com/davidlantz .
Let's face it, you probably want to know, where is this Special Counsel guy, Jack Smith, is he back from the Hague in the Netherlands, where is he working out of, what could he possibly be doing, and finally, will this Special Counsel do what no one seems to be able to do in any jurisdiction — Indict Donald J. Trump! In the case of Donnie, don't we all wish it could happen as quickly as an episode of Law and Order? Wouldn't that be nice, clean, efficient, end years of bullshit, madness, and sadness that this guy was President? Tracking various news outlets, it seems as if the media titans are really wondering, what is going on, who is working with Jackie Boy, and are there any clues as to what exactly he is interested in? Here is what I am finding, after reviewing articles in Slate, the New York Times, and the Washington Post: His task is two-fold according to reporting in SLATE------ The ongoing investigation involving classified documents and other presidential records found on Trump's Mar-a-Lago property— 26 boxes' worth—and the investigation into whether any person or entity unlawfully interfered with the transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election. He also issued about 40 subpoenas in a week's time for his investigation into the 2020 election certification. Those subpoenas include testimony from Georgia's Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger — the guy Trump pleaded with to just find 11,780 votes—along with election officials across the country. Trump's former White House counsel Pat Cipollone and his chief deputy, Patrick Philbin, have already testified before Smith's grand jury. If you ask me, as far as I am concerned, this whole classified doc situation, let's just call it even at this point, I mean Biden has docs at his library, at his home in Delaware, I mean shit as a kid I used to vacation in Rehoboth Beach, where I know Biden has a Summer home, have they found docs there as of yet?

This week we throwback to Frank Capra and his 1939 masterpiece that presents the dirty side of politics to a young and naive US Senator, his morals and character get in the way and this week we analyze the end scene that shows him fighting for his love of freedom and democracy for his country. Enjoy the conversation!
In this week's Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode we arrive at arguably Jean Arthur's biggest year of stardom, 1939, with her appearance opposite Cary Grant in Only Angels Have Wings, Howard Hawks' ode to male professionalism, and her iconic performance in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, opposite Jimmy Stewart. We do our best to get at the essences of Hawks and Capra and consider whether Arthur can embody both the Hawksian and the Capra woman. And in our Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment, we discuss Jacques Rivette's Love on the Ground (1984) as a kind of inversion of his surrealist classic Celine and Julie Go Boating.

Episode 84 of the Check your Six Podcast brought a couple of guests into the GRP Studios, former FL State Representative Jimmie T Smith and Brian Fay, who are part of CVA, Concerned Veterans For America. Both of these gentlemen are Army veterans and are working through the process of accountability for the VA system and other programs that will not only help veterans but could overall impact other government programs. While the ideals that began with the Veterans Administration(VA) were honorable and with good intentions, what the VA has become is like most government operated programs and largely mismanaged and poorly run. Something that was designed to honor those that have served has become a monolith that moves with the speed of an iceberg at time and can cause almost more damage than it heals. They gave some very interesting information on a variety of topics, including the number of veterans that have committed suicide in the parking lots of some of the VA locations in Florida alone. The lack of accountability, inaccurate reporting and leadership that is more concerned about their own agenda than the welfare of the veterans it was designed to serve. There are a LOT of fantastic individuals that work for the VA including those providing the care for the patients, but very simply, it is broken and needs to be healed!!

Some of my favorites of his are: After The Thin Man, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, The Philadelphia Story, Rear Window and The Man Who Knew Too Much. I could have gone on naming more, I could have just copied his IMDB listings and it would have been accurate.

No, I will not yield! Jimmy Stew is at his wide-eyed, loquacious, man-of-the-people best here in this film that has a heart as big as the U.S. entire. It's so earnestly idealistic about the potential of politics, politicians and American democracy that it's hard to believe it was derrided at the time for being too negative. Only Smith could go to Washington, and only Stewart could be Mr. Smith. He is just the man to sell such an 'aw-shucks' story. It also put him on the map as an actor. Should be worth it for just that alone, yes? We find out.

Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott who this week is joined by his Reel Britannia co-host, Steven to discuss one of Frank Capra and James Stewart's finest movies. It's back to what many see as the greatest year in Hollywood history….1939. The year that brought us Gone With The Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Ninotchka, Stagecoach, Goodbye Mr Chips and today's featured movie, Mr Smith Goes To Washington. Naïve and idealistic Jefferson Smith, leader of the Boy Rangers, is appointed to the United States Senate by the puppet governor of his state. He soon discovers, upon going to Washington, many shortcomings of the political process as his earnest goal of a national boys' camp leads to a conflict with the state political boss. “Either I'm dead right, or I'm crazy!” This and previous episodes can be found on; Apple Podcasts Stitcher Spreaker Player FM Acast IHeartRadio Libsyn Podcast Party Follow us on Twitter @StinkingPause email: thestinkingpause@gmail.com #Podpals #PodernFamily Thanks for listening Scott and Steven

“You're not a Senator, you're an honorary stooge." It's rare to find a film from 75 years ago that feels relevant still in today's world, but Frank Capra's 1939 “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” is one of those films. Corruption in the Senate? Check. Corporate interests secretly working their own machinations behind the scenes to get their political puppets to do their bidding? Check. Cynical office staff who are only interested in making a buck? Check. Sad to say that the only thing that doesn't feel modern is that a politician like James Stewart's titular character could actually exist. Or at least survive in today's political world. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue with our great films from 1939 series with Capra's fantastic film “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” We talk about how much we love this film and why, highlighting everything aforementioned. We chat about Stewart and Jean Arthur as the perfect leads for this film, aided by the wonderful supporting cast including Edward Arnold, Harry Carey, Claude Rains, Thomas Mitchell and more. We discuss how the Washington, D.C. press and the real Senators received the film compared with the general public. And we discuss the people behind the cameras with Capra and what they bring to the table — Joseph Walker, Lionel Banks, Dimitri Tiomkin, Sidney Buchman, Lewis R. Foster and more. It's a top notch film that still speaks to its audiences, all while avoiding being cheesy while full of honesty. We love it. Make sure you watch this one and then tune in!

Well, Jack didn't see it and it was on 'The List', the movies that Jack and Andrew are watching from beginning to year's end that the other has seen and the one reviewing hasn't. So Jack watches it, there's talk of Nicolas Cage and John Patrick Shanley, and the Andrew waxes not-too-poetic about Mr. Smith. Oh, and a movie called The Hitler Gang is brought up. Yeah...
