On the latest episode of The Discourse, actor Will Poulter and writer-director Alex Scharfman joined host Mike DeAngelo to discuss their new A24 horror-comedy "Death of a Unicorn," a twisted genre mash-up that brings unicorns into the Spielbergian creature-feature fold. The film also stars Jenna Ortega, Paul Rudd, Téa Leoni, Anthony Carrigan, Richard E. Grant, and Sunita Mani, and tells the story of a tech billionaire's lawyer and his daughter who accidentally hit a unicorn with their car and attempt to cover it up at an elite corporate retreat. Magical madness, death, and more unicorn action ensue!Poulter, having taken a break from comedy in recent years, said he relished playing Shepard, an Ivy League-bred man-child desperate for approval and woefully out of touch. "It's really fun to be conscious of the fact that everyone's going to be laughing at you, and never with you," he said. "You sort of feel like he's never really left the various ivory towers that his family own around the world, but thinks he's superior to everyone around him.”READ MORE: ‘Death of a Unicorn' Review: Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd Make Monster Movie Magic for A24 [SXSW]Despite his delusions of grandeur, Poulter was careful not to strip Shep of all humanity. "I don't want to absolve him of wrongdoing, but ultimately what it boils down to is the child-parent relationship," he explained. "What Shep really wants more than anything is approval from his dad, and he wants his mom to be more honest with him than she's ever been."

It's a simple enough show this week, kids. We're just looking at a bunch of movies from half a century ago. 1975 was a game-changing year in film. Early 70s trends like blaxploitation and dystopian sci-fi were about to be swept aside, as a certain giant Spielbergian shark ushered in the blockbuster era. But meanwhile, the year still offered some genuine classics (Dog Day Afternoon, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest), some cult classics (Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Rocky Horror Picture Show), some Disney for the kids (Apple Dumpling Gang, Escape to Witch Mountain), giant spiders, crazy mamas, blazing stewardesses, switchblade sisters, and plenty of Pam Grier. So pop in a Glen Campbell 8-track and cruise over to your local ugly 1970s movie theater. And grab a big box of Raisinets, even though they're lousy. The Flopcast website! The ESO Network!

It's a new month, and in honor of the Oscars, we're talking about one of the Academy's most recognized filmmakers of all time: Steven Spielberg. By the 90s, Spielberg had become one of Hollywood's preeminent entertainers. He arguably reached his apex in 1993, when he directed the highest-grossing film of all time and a Best Picture winner in the same year. We're starting with the box office behemoth: Jurassic Park. Christian and Scott are revisiting this rewatchable classic to talk about dino danger, Spielbergian themes, and how hot Jeff Goldblum is. Plus, we're still talking about Industrial Light & Magic, whose 1982 output gave us our January theme this year. With ground-breaking effects, Jurassic Park was one of the most influential films of the 90s, but does it hold up? Well, that's maybe a dumb question. So, how much *does* it hold up? And, after talking for 3 hours about the our thoughts on the Oscars (whoops), we share our thoughts on Anora's big night. What's your favorite decade of Steven Spielberg's career? Let us know at cinemaontappodcast@gmail.com

With its Trumpian billionaire presiding over a steamrolling everything-company, Joe Dante's GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH (1990) satirized the 1980s while also predicting the present day. We discuss a classic anti-Spielbergian blockbuster that wasn't. PLUS: Updates on the Canada/U.S. tariff battle, and who are the most readable conservative writers?

Have you ever wondered how a seemingly playful ghost story can transform into an absolute nightmare? In this episode of "Screams and Streams," we take you on a thrilling journey through Tobe Hooper's 1982 horror gem "Poltergeist." We kick things off by reminiscing about our initial reactions to the film's blend of light-hearted Spielbergian elements and bone-chilling horror. With our themed cocktail, "Don't Go Into the Light," in hand, we dive into how a haunted house built on a burial ground and a child-friendly ghost tale evolves into something truly terrifying.Craig T. Nelson's rollercoaster performance and classic paranormal tropes take center stage as we explore the humor and horror that make "Poltergeist" unforgettable. From a dog's uncanny reactions to ghostly occurrences to Tangina's sharp wit, we dissect the characters and scenes that have etched themselves into horror movie history. We also scrutinize some curious parenting choices, like nonchalantly sending kids off in a cab amidst chaos, and reminisce at outdated, nostalgic elements like TV channels ending their broadcast day.Finally, we delve into the film's technical marvels and standout scenes that remain iconic. From the unsettling clown doll to Jo Beth Williams' harrowing experience in a rotating room, we discuss the incredible special effects and Jerry Goldsmith's intense score that amplifies every moment.

Strange and creepy happenings beset an average California family, the Freelings when ghosts commune with them through the television set. Initially friendly and playful, the spirits turn unexpectedly menacing, and, when Carol Ann goes missing, Steve and Diane turn to a parapsychologist and eventually an exorcist for help. Today on Buzzn The Tower as we continue our October thrill ride of trying to scare Max, we'll discuss the classic Spielbergian birth child, Poltergeist. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always, the Carol Ann to my ghosts and ghouls, Max Sanders. And with that.

As All Hallows' Eve approaches with a creeping intensity, Spooktober Spooktacular continues with two iconic cinematic ghost stories that have left an indelible impact with audiences of every subsequent generation: Poltergeist and The Sixth Sense. But before we exercise these spirits, we unpack and sort through our thoughts on the latest Martin Scorsese's historical epic Killers of the Flower Moon, look for answers in the satisfying labyrinth of The Blair Witch Project, and muse over the highs and lows of Hulu's small screen comedy-mystery Only Murders in the Building. Join us as we enter a pair of old dark houses that is our double feature: listen as we try to suss out the Spielbergian elements within Tobe Hooper's 1982 supernatural horror before taking stock of the innumerable hallmarks that at once put Shyamalan on the map in 1999 and established a formula he's yet to ever succeed outside of.

2022 is over, but have you caught up on all of the great movies it had to offer? Maybe not! Five SportsAlcohol.com regulars voted on their 20 collective favorites from 2022, and in this podcast we run through the upper reaches of the list to discuss what movies got to us last year, and why -- including both consensus favorites and outliers that only made one contributor's list! From Irish infighting to Spielbergian family dynamics to multiversal variants, there are streaming (and, in a few cases, still movie theater!) recommendations galore on this episode, from your pals Sara, Marisa, Jeremy, and Jesse. 

Screenwriter Steve Grest (originator of the Defend This Movie idea) returns to the pod to debate Secret Movie Club programmer and founder Craig Hammill about Steven Spielberg and George Lucas' Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, starring Harrison Ford, Kate Capshaw, and Ke Huy Quan! The 1984 sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark was controversial upon release for its dark content, and Steve agrees that it is a joyless, annoying slog. Craig admits that Temple has its problems, but he also thinks the film is a nightmarish joy brimming with classic Spielbergian cinema. Listen, and we'll let you decide who wins!

This Soundscape Artist Has Been Listening To The Planet For Decades Jim Metzner is one of the pioneers of science radio—he's been making field recordings and sharing them with audiences for more than 40 years. He hosted shows such as “Sounds of Science” in the 1980s, which later grew into “Pulse of the Planet,” a radio show about “the sound of life on Earth.” Over the decades, Metzner has created an incredible time capsule of soundscapes, and now, his entire collection is going to the Library of Congress. John Dankosky talks with Metzner about what he's learned about the natural world from endless hours of recordings and what we can all learn from listening. Plus, they'll discuss some of his favorite recordings. To hear the best audio quality, it might be a good idea to use headphones if you can.   The Surprising Animal Science Behind Jordan Peele's ‘Nope' One of the summer's biggest blockbusters has been the alien horror film Nope, from director Jordan Peele. Nope has elements of many classic UFO films, with the Spielbergian charm of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and the horror and destruction from The War of the Worlds. For the spoiler-averse, this is your warning to turn back now. The big twist in Nope that differentiates it from other alien films is that it isn't a UFO (or UAP if you're up to date on the lingo) hanging out in the skies above our main characters. The saucer-shaped figure is the alien itself. Writer and director Jordan Peele attributes much of the inspiration for the alien as coming from sea creatures. He enlisted the help of scientific consultants including marine biologist Kelsi Rutledge to help bring the creature, known in the film as Jean Jacket, to life. She even gave it a scientific name: Occulonimbus edoequus, meaning “hidden dark cloud stallion eater.” Kelsi, who is a PhD candidate at UCLA in Los Angeles, California, talks to Ira about the ingredients that went into creating a new creature to scare audiences.   Making A Meal Fit For An Astronaut Life on the International Space Station throws some wrenches into how food and eating work. There's very little gravity, after all. And there are big differences between nutritional needs on Earth and in space. Astronauts must exercise two hours each day on the International Space Station to prevent bone and muscle loss, meaning daily caloric intake needs to be somewhere between 2,500 and 3,500 calories. Sodium must also be reduced, as an astronaut's body sheds less of it in space. Astronauts also have an increased need for Vitamin D, as their skin isn't able to create it from sunlight as people on Earth do. So, how do all these limitations affect the food astronauts eat? Joining guest host Kathleen Davis to answer these gustatory questions is Xulei Wu, food systems manager for the International Space Station in Houston, Texas. Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

GQ's Gerrick D. Kennedy wrote that Nope "is a movie about spectacle. More specifically, our addiction to spectacle... Nope is about holding a mirror up to all of us and our inability to look away from drama or peril." Kennedy also states that "the erasure of black contributions" to the history of filmmaking plays a significant role in the film.

There's no way. For how heroic everything kind of seemed at the end, I'm like there's no way they leave the heroes like this. This is just the start of something new." In an interview with Thrillist, Jean Jacket designer John O. Dabiri suggested that the creature survived its apparent death at the film's conclusion, saying "There's a species of jellyfish that's called the immortal jellyfish... I'm not a movie maker. But if it was me, I would say there would be some interesting opportunity to ask whether we've seen the last of Jean Jacket."In an interview with The New York Times, Peele addressed a character that was cut from the film, listed on IMDb as Nobody, saying "The story of that character has yet to be told, I can tell you that. Which is another frustrating way of saying, I'm glad people are paying attention. I do think they will get more answers on some of these things in the future. We're not over telling all of these stories".#nope #jordanpeele #horror #movie #death #horrorfilm #splatter #deathscene #blood #gore #scarymovie #horror #completeguidetohorror #horrormovie #scary #creepy #graphic #jeanjacket #kekepalmer #idontknowwhothismanis #meghantrainor #no #creature #alien #twilightzone #americandad #scifi #aliens #paranormal #barbieferreira

New, Extra Protective COVID Vaccines Are On The Way Earlier this week, the FDA approved brand new COVID-19 vaccines from both Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech that are designed to better protect people from the BA.4 and BA.5 omicron subvariants. At the same time, the U.S. is scaling back free testing and precautionary measures, putting more pressure on vaccines. Casey Crownhart, a climate and technology reporter at MIT Technology Review, joins Ira to talk about COVID updates and other science news of the week. They also discuss how the U.S. is bracing for a record-breaking heatwave, the devastating floods in Pakistan, how the city of Jackson, MI ended up without running water, why Greenland's “zombie ice” is causing concern, a massive investment in solar power, and a clue as to how the Ancient Egyptians built the pyramids of Giza.   New Jersey's Lenape Nation Fights Ford's Toxic Legacy The Turtle Clan of the Ramapough Lenape Nation has lived in the wooded hills around Ringwood for centuries, enduring the impacts of European settlement and the building up of America. But the toxic waste that now surrounds the Passaic County community is from an invasion of an entirely different kind. And it wasn't long before residents started getting sick. When the federal government created the National Priorities List, better known as Superfund, in 1980, abandoned iron mines in Ringwood were among the first sites to be listed; they made the list in 1983. Between 1965 and 1974, the Ford Motor Company dumped hundreds of thousands of gallons of paint sludge, solvents and other waste into the mines scattered throughout the Turtle Clan's homeland. By then, the southern portion of the site had been sold off by Ford to the Ringwood Solid Waste Management Authority, which went on dumping more waste onto and into the already toxic land. Arsenic and lead, benzene and 1,4-dioxane leached into groundwater. Kids played among slabs of hardened paint sludge. Adults scavenged the dump sites for copper and other valuable metals. Read the rest at sciencefriday.com. Coming Soon: A Germ-Killing Countertop? From restaurant tables to office door knobs, not to mention anything inside a hospital, the world is full of surfaces that need sanitizing, lest someone catch a surface-borne viral or bacterial infection like the flu or MRSA. The typical solution involves sanitizing those surfaces with sprays and fluid cleaners. Or, sometimes, using materials that are hostile to microbes, such as silver or copper. But a team of engineers at the University of Michigan has another solution in mind: a spray-on coating that combines the stabilizing power of polyurethane with the well-documented germicidal qualities of essential oils such as cinnamon, tea tree, and lemon. As the team reports in the journal Matter this week, their coating seems to kill pathogens like SARS-CoV2, MRSA and E. coli within minutes—and lasts for months before it must be refreshed. Research co-author Anish Tuteja joins Ira to talk about the innovation, and how he thinks it might be useful.   The Surprising Animal Science Behind Jordan Peele's ‘Nope' One of the summer's biggest blockbusters has been the alien horror film “Nope,” from director Jordan Peele. “Nope” has elements of many classic UFO films, with the Spielbergian charm of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” and the horror and destruction from “The War of the Worlds.” For the spoiler-averse, this is your warning to turn back now.

Hogwarts Legacy, a new game set in the world of Harry Potter, is mired in controversy. Though the Wizarding World is still a beloved franchise, it's struggling to separate itself from its creator, JK Rowling. The supposedly "cancelled" multi-millionaire author has made what many consider transphobic remarks, making her persona non grata. BUT Rowling has remarkably little to do with Hogwarts Legacy, with devs promising to allow gamers to create trans characters. But is that enough? Should trans allies buy a game that ultimately profits Rowling? Or does boycotting the game only hurt a team of devs not associated with the controversy? Then, has it been too long for fans to return to Stranger Things? New photos show the kids-turned-adults continuing the franchise, but will they be able to transition from their Spielbergian kids' adventure roots? Does anyone still care? All that and more on episode 347. Cheers! *Beer of the Week* St. Bernardus Tokyo

"Lookie, Lookie, I got traumatic memories of Captain Hook stabbing a child to death." Years before Legacy Sequels were cool, Steven Spielberg decided to ask the question, "What if Peter Pan grew up and forgot all about Neverland?" Turns out he'd be a corporate lawyer and his kids hate him! "Hook" had a killer premise, an incredible cast led by Robin Williams and Julia Roberts and that steady Spielbergian hand. The marketing for the film was such an enticing tease too... how about that little hook-shaped latch on the window? Killer! Dustin Hoffman gets top billing as Captain Hook, and you don't even see him in the trailer! In hindsight, it seems like Spielberg was hiding the part of the movie set in Neverland, after Hook kidnaps Grown Peter's kids. Some impressive set design aside, the meat of "Hook" that takes place in fantasy land mixes so many strange tones and subplots that it's hard to get invested. Peter makes out with mermaids, gets a convoluted origin story and kisses his future wife while she sleeps (consent dude!). And Tinkerbell turns big, and Captain Hook is suicidal. Also Hook can somehow brainwash Peter's son into forgetting all about his own father in a span of just three days. But don't worry, kids, there's a food fight! Bangarang! Old Millennials Remember Movies hosts Tyler and Angela try to crack the wild mess that is "Hook." Is this Spielberg's worse movie? Maybe? Is he even capable of making a completely bad movie? Well, no, there's still some really good moments here, especially in that opening act with Maggie Smith. Apparently Maggie Smith wore old age makeup to play 90-year-old Wendy, but how does she look EXACTLY LIKE THIS in 2022?! The Old Millennials talk about little league baseball (get a logo on that baseball cap, Charlie Korsmo!), Hoffman and Bob Hoskins screwing around in lieu of actual character work, the Lost Boy that somehow turns himself into a ball, that strange Glenn Close cameo, and, yes, the whole ordeal with Rufio, Rufio, ROOF - EEE - OHHH!

Welcome to the next installment of One & Done: SEASON TWO! We want to watch a movie with you, and this episode's taking us back millions of years to do just that. We're embracing that Spielbergian magic and getting in touch with our childhoods for some Jurassic Park action! Dino DNA! Captivating characters! Questionable business practices! This franchise has it all, and we're so excited to dive in. Which Jurassic film is your favorite? And which dinosaur would you nominate for a battle royale? Let us know! The premise is simple: A movie franchise, like the Jurassic Park films, gets debated, with each of the three hosts picking an installment to stand for. And once we have a winner, we throw on that movie & watch along with you! A full on commentary, right after we make a selection. Let us know what you think of our selection! And what did you think about the discussion? We'll see you next time! Keep up with Nicky, Reed, & Alden on Twitter over @OneNDoneShow! That's where you'll find updates, movie conversations, & more!

The Rutabaga try to figure out the case of some fictional kidnapped children, talk about the Spielbergian origins of Rick and Morty, put Fenway to sleep multiple times, debate whether or not Adam Sandler is actually funny, and discuss the split of Grimes and Elon Musk

In the end we all become podcasts, Welcome back to the podcast! Today, we're going to be talking about Oxenfree, the narrative adventure game about some spooky things that happen on an island at night. The game is extremely focused on its story, so I hesitate to give much more of the plot away from that, but its unique elements come from the way that story is delivered. The primary mechanic of the game is a conversation system that uses fully voice acted dialogue in an attempt to more naturally mimic actual conversations as opposed to more traditional adventure games where you can sit around for thirty minutes before answering someone's question. Does it always work? Well, no, not always, but it gives a sense of urgency to a system that rarely has one without displaying a hokey timer on the screen. Beyond that, the game's appeal comes largely from the tone and aesthetic, with a cartoony art style and dreamy synth music all wrapped around a very modern collection of characters who are all written well enough to be believable in a Spielbergian kind of way. We're going to be talking about how this game fits into the wider genre of adventure games, how the mechanical elements function and help drive the plot forward as well as giving you incentive to act in a reasonable way toward the other characters, and we debate whether the existence of ghosts has any bearing on this fictional narrative. Thank you for joining us this week! What did you think about Oxenfree? I know the game definitely has a following, likely driven by the likeable characters and deeper mysteries it contains, but on a first playthrough, how much of this did you actually engage with? Did this game inspire multiple playthroughs to see what other endings it offered or were you satisfied with letting the story be what it was based on your decisions? Let us know in the comments or over on Discord! Next time, we're breaking out our fancy dice and player's handbooks to play through Sorcery!, a TTRPG simulation game from Inkle, the developer of Heaven's Vault, a game we played 8 months ago but feels like it was more recent than that because time is an illusion. Anyway, thanks for listening!

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on June 6th 2021 Episode thirty five of VISION ON SOUND finds regular guest contributor PAUL CHANDLER returning to talk about his passion for those pop bands who were primarily manufactured for television programmes. So we talk about cartoon bands such as The Archies, and Josie and the Pussycats (In Outer Space!) - as well as briefly considering the cartoon variants of The Jackson Five and The Beatles - and briefly ponder upon those puppety television icons Pinky and Perky. We discuss the whole strange phenomenon of costumed bands such as Animal Kwackers, The Banana Splits (including their appearance in a Horror Movie), and The Wombles - adding a slight touch of credibility by segueing into memories of Gorillaz, KISS, and, um, Lordi. The more human end of the scale is covered by our conversation moving on to The Monkees, The Partridge Family, and Flintlock, alongside S-Club-7 and the Spielbergian possibilities of Supergrass, before we move on to the more recent era and shows like The X Factor and its ilk. PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.

Sure, it’s Mother’s Day weekend, but Christy, Alonso and Matt have a bunch of movies about dudes to review on Breakfast All Day. Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham re-team for the heist thriller “Wrath of Man.” Billy Crystal directs and stars as an aging comedian with dementia in “Here Today.” David Oyelowo directs and has a supporting role in the Spielbergian fantasy “The Water Man.” And J. Balvin is “The Boy From Medellin,” a documentary that takes an intimate look at the Colombian reggaeton superstar. In news, we talk about Elon Musk hosting "Saturday Night Live," new Marvel movies over the next few years, Will Smith’s dad bod reality show, and the possible return of Bennifer (that’s Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez for all you young’uns). And over at our Patreon, Alonso and Christy recap episode 4 of “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Join us for Breakfast and Brunch!

David Oyelowo joins the show to discuss his directorial debut feature The Water Man. The film which critics are describing as “Spielbergian” stars Rosario Dawson, Maria Bello, Alfred Molina and David Oyelowo himself. David shares an incredible behind-the-scenes story about how he was thrust into the director’s chair just before filming, his principles for telling a “live-action Pixar” story and more. Marvel dropped dates and footage from across their Phase 4 slate, but we also discuss some notable titles that were left out. Sean and Gabe give their final thoughts on Invincible’s first season following the finale and announcement that Amazon had ordered at least 2 more seasons for their streaming platform. While Jake and Kevin were able to catch up on The Mitchells vs The Machines which dropped last week on Netflix, and give their thoughts on what has become one of their favorites of the year so far. *This Week In Movies* --------------------- * Here Today * Mainstream (limited) * The Paper Tigers (limited) * Monster (Netflix) * Wrath of Man * The Water Man *ReelBlend Premium!* -------------------- Sign up for an extra episode a week, a bi-weekly newsletter from Sean, and ad-free episodes at bit.ly/reelblendpremium ( https://bit.ly/reelblendpremium ). *ReelBlend on YouTube* ---------------------- Be sure to subscribe to ** ReelBlend ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYIG77MzbUQ40aaWF3nX2FA ) on YouTube (YouTube.com/ReelBlendPodcast) for full episodes of the show in video form. *Follow The Show* ----------------- ReelBlend - *@ReelBlend* ( https://twitter.com/ReelBlend ) Sean - *@Sean_OConnell* ( https://twitter.com/Sean_OConnell ) Jake - *@JakesTakes* ( https://twitter.com/JakesTakes ) Kevin - *@KevinMcCarthyTV* ( https://twitter.com/KevinMcCarthyTV ) Gabe - *@gabeKovacs* ( https://twitter.com/gabekovacs ) *ReelBlend Merch* ----------------- We have all kinds of fun merch for dedicated Blenders to flaunt their fandom with pride.

In the heart of mankind, there lies a question that has remained unanswered since before the dawn of man (don't think about it). This question has seen kingdoms rise and empires fall -- all the while sitting on the tongue of the collective consciousness, begging to be uttered. Yet no man, woman, child, or Spielbergian super-intelligence has dared to speak of it. Until now. Join Nick and Zach as they embark on a journey -- eons in the making -- and not only ask, but answer THE question that plagues every waking and sleeping moment of humanity: Which fighting-game movie is not the worst, 1995's Mortal Kombat or 1994's Street Fighter? Oh, they also get sad about Infinity Train, and Nick geeks out over period-piece X-Men and kung-fu.

In this episode of the show we are taking a deep dive into the world of swashbuckling adventure, corny romance, ancient curses, revived corpses and sand (lots of sand) as we are discussing The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, with a side order of adding our few cents about The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and even a few words on The Scorpion King. We marvel over the chemistry Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz shared on the screen, identify the multitude of Spielbergian references peppered throughout the series, take a few swipes at the way the franchise developed and maybe offer a handful of comments about the way these films aged over time, while stating firmly that at least some of us are capable of seeing through any and all of their flaws thanks to the wonders of childhood nostalgia.

We close out the month with the conclusion to our Cruise / Spielberg double feature, War of the Worlds. It’s a decidedly post 9/11 film featuring a classic Spielbergian family with a divorced dad, rage fueled adolescent son, and an increasingly traumatized young daughter. Spielberg portrays the scope and damage of a global alien invasion with a seamless blend of CGI tripods and practical destruction that still looks great 16 years later. The US military is aggressively present in this film, with Tom Cruise’s son Robbie hell bent on joining the troops despite their inability to put up much of a fight. It’s a commentary on warfare and military occupation that often feels less than self aware about what it’s trying to say, but still worth a watch for anyone in need of a good disaster / alien flick, or a small window into the liberal Hollywood politics of 2005.

On a sultry summer's eve in the late 1960s, a group of rural Colombians had an all too close encounter with a flying saucer and its semi-humanoid pilot... an encounter which quickly devolved from riveting to terrifying; proving, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the early Spielbergian ideal of the benevolent E.T. is just what we always knew it to be… a work of fiction.

The Vast of Night is an inventive and suspenseful night drop of spooky science fiction. Within it you'll find a Spielbergian love for sci-fi peppered with a twisted appreciation for negative space and the unknown.

Hey, remember that film Indiana Jones? Or E.T? Jurassic Park? Minority Report? Close Encounters? How about Schindlers List? Saving Private Ryan? A.I? Catch Me If You Can? Or even Jaws?Thats great you remember all of those classics.How about Duel? Remember that one? Yeah we didn’t think so. Thats right, just when you thought we’d only do a few little indie films, we’ve taken a Toretto handbrake turn and gone straight to the man who basically IS the movie industry, back to the beginning of his incredibly influential, groundbreaking and frankly (when you actually look at it) astonishing career. He is perhaps, the GOAT. We’ll let you decide…on this podcast episode which is almost 2 hours long. Thats twice the length of any other episode we’ve done. Thats twice the movie goodness, twice the movie magic, and twice the er…twice the time it took to edit. But anyway, we’re here and excited to share our findings on the man himself, Mr Steven Spielberg, and his very first film, Duel (1971) about a man who is harassed by a truck driver. Yes you read that right. It might be the only film devoid of that Spielbergian magic. Even more of a reason to watch it. We’ve also got an incredible short of the week, The Candidate (2010), by David Karlak. The keen eyed viewer might notice Meghan Markle, displaying her acting chops before she packed it in to became the Duchess of Sussex. Good job its a royally good little film.  Link to The Candidate here. Happy listening.

In 1982, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" auteur Tobe Hooper had the biggest hit of his career with the haunted house classic "Poltergeist" - a film that was written, produced, and some say overshadowed by Steven Spielberg - leading many to suspect that Spielberg himself had actually directed it, but didn't want the shockfest to taint the good-boy image (and possible oscar chances) he earned from the same year's smash "E.T. The Extra Terrestrial." But MG argues differently - that the film is as Hooperesque as it is Spielbergian, and the combo makes for not just one of the best films of the 80s, but one of the best horror movies of all time.

Ernest Cline's novel Ready Player One is a futuristic nostalgia bomb that lovingly apes Spielbergian 1970s and '80s pop culture. Steven Spielberg's film adaptation of Ready Player One could have been a self-aware, winking paean to the current Urban Outfitters kitsch for which Spielberg's somewhat responsible. Instead -- and perhaps not surprisingly -- it's a bigger, nostalgia bombier futuristic adventure filled with more decades' worth of pop culture references even than the book is. For better or worse.

Each and every week, your hosts revisit an episode of the series in the order in which they first premiered. They discuss their favorite jokes, gags, and discuss all the cultural references they can find! Just the second episode in the season and we have yet another very Spielbergian episode. This episode has strong segments, plenty of songs and music, and some very clever jokes. How many of the dozens of pop culture references will Joey, Nathan, and Kelly mention before they get distracted and fall completely off the rails? Variety Speak This segment begins with the Warner’s waiting for an appointment with Dr. Scratchansniff.  In order to pass the time, Wakko imitates a dog for Dot and Yakko grabs the paper because Wakko isn’t house broken. After reading the headline on the paper, the Warners start singing about the Variety Fair, and hollywood lingo.  Be prepared for tons of ‘blink and you’ll miss them’ cameos, including Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Steven Speilberg *GASP*  This song is quite fun and has a lot to talk about Three Tenors and You're Out Skippy and Slappy are off to see the Dodgers play baseball.  Unfortunately they go on a night when three Tenors are singing.  Slappy manages to annoy just about everyone in the stadium before getting kicked out.  That’s when things are taken to the next level as Slappy is now intent on ruining the show. After multiple song and costume changes, things quickly escalate with the appearance of a giant spaceship piloted by Slappy and Spielberg, You can bet Kelly has some words to say about this cartoon! Bingo Wakko is the only one to show up to Dr. Scratchansniff’s afternoon bingo game.  Of course Wakko immediately drives Scratchansniff bonkers when can’t get Wakko to understand when he is saying a word, or a letter and number combination.  This segment is reminiscent of “Who’s on First” and is the perfect length to keep from being too repetitive. Listener Feedback and News Steven writes in to share his thoughts on the upcoming reboot. The hosts share some more of their thoughts and the concern that the upcoming reboot may not include the original voice actors. While it seems unlikely, it seems like anything is possible, especially since the voice talent has not been announced yet.

This week we're talking about Signs (2002). We both genuinely enjoy this M. Night Shyamalan film, so talking about it is pretty fun. We look at this Spielbergian take on War of the Worlds, before Spielberg even made his own War of the Worlds. Signs stars Mel Gibson, Joaquin Phoenix, Abigail Breslin, and Rory Culkin. 

After a short hiatus, we’re Back – from the future – with a good look at Alan Silvestri’s score to the Robert Zemeckis time-travel classic. Back to the Future is, at its core, about a small group of characters, and yet it possesses a huge scale of feeling and mood, much of which can be attributed to Silvestri’s impressive orchestral score. Join us as we take in the jazz roots of this classic, the fanfares and motifs, and of course, the classic hit songs that power the film.

This week we head back to the early 80's for some primitive cinematic CGI with The Last Starfighter. With a somewhat gimmicky but weak main storyline, the film benefits from a humor filmed subplot involving the Alex Beta unit. Filled with Spielbergian kid culture 80's tropes, the films fits the time period but is perhaps a lesser offering. While its attempt at CGI special effects are noble, they don't allow the film to ascend to Tron-like stature.Download: 250 The Last Starfighter

With the colourful lights of Stranger Things still flickering around us, we tackled another 80's, sentimental, sci-fi story - John Carpenter's almost forgotten Starman. If you liked the Duffer Brothers mix of Spielbergian fantastical wonder and Carpenterian thrilling precision, this flick is worth checking out for sure. If you don't like that stuff, at least you get to see Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen speeding around Arizona in an orange Mustang. Very 80's. Very cool. CamJam will be doing stand up in Melbourne from Aug 29 - Sep 3. Find more details about shows on his Twitter: @iamcameronjames. Come hang out at GREEN LIGHTS COMEDY NIGHTS at the Gaelic Club on August 26 headlined by Nick Capper! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Our CLOSE ENCOUNTERS/MIDNIGHT SPECIAL discussion turns toward the newer film, and the ways it reflects its Spielbergian inspiration – and the many more ways it diverts from the earlier film. We'll talk over how the two films explore spirituality and mystery, and the similar ways they utilize child actors. Plus, Your Next Picture Show, where we share recent filmgoing experiences in hopes of putting something new on your cinematic radar.

It's time to dismantle a science fiction film with Midnight Special! Jeff Nichols has returned to his distinctly southern filmmaking to provide a film that Christopher Cross and Dylan Schwan can't completely agree on. Starring Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, Kirsten Dunst, Adam Driver, Sam Shepard, and introducing Jaeden Lieberher, Midnight Special offers a unique look at the Spielbergian notion of science fiction. This week, Chris also saw Everybody Wants Some!! the new Richard Linklater film, and Dylan saw Dangerous Men, the latest Drafthouse Films release. There was a bit of news regarding some Netflix movies and Joel McHale possibly playing Chevy Chase in a movie about National Lampoon. But most importantly is the blu-ray releases where Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens was released. A movie we both enjoyed and makes us hopeful for the future of the Star Wars universe. Next week we will be reviewing the first-person action film, Hardcore Henry.

Another episode, another attempt from Andrew to win Daniel over to the cult of John Carpenter! This week, we're looking at his surprisingly warm and humane sci-fi romance "Starman" from 1984, a film that met with success in the post-Star Wars sci-fi boom with its Spielbergian echoes of E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. 35mins
