Podcast appearances and mentions of Spike Lee

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema's biggest box office failures and decide if they deserve a second chance. In this week's episode, the gang sadly bids farewell to Re-May-ke month with an American remake of a beloved Korean classic. Grab your hammer and enjoy some dumplings as Troy and Brad discuss Spike Lee's 2013 film, Oldboy. Remaking Park Chan-wook's masterpiece is a bold move, but with a talented director like Spike Lee at the helm, one would expect this neo-noir to be a success. Unfortunately, critics and audiences largely overlooked its theatrical release, and it only earned $5 million against a $30 million budget. Despite its failure at the box office, does this film deserve a second chance? Download and find out!Oldboy (2013) is directed Spike Lee and stars Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, and Sharlto CopleyNot A Bomb has plenty of news designs in our Merch store!

If the Western is the godfather of American cinema, then the crime film is its son. With tough guys, shootouts, and explorations of morality, these movies capture the seedy underbelly of a post-war urban world. So, for today's video, I'll be ranking a list of crime films chosen by my producer. Hot takes are bound to happen. - - - Today's Sponsor: Helix Sleep - Go to https://helixsleep.com/klavan to get 27% Off Sitewide + Free Bedding Bundle (Sheet Set and Mattress Protector) with any Luxe or Elite Mattress Order.

La tempête cannoise est à peu près passée, les beaux jours sont à peu près là. Nous profitons donc de cette accalmie pour vous proposer un heure en compagnie de la reine Bonnie Banane ! Chanteuse cinéphile apparue plusieurs fois devant la caméra (chez Bonello et Mandico pour des films, chez Mati Diop ou William Laboury pour des clips), musicienne nourrie par le cinéma, elle nous parle de sa passion pour Prince devant la caméra (Purple Rain) ou dans la BO d'un Spike Lee oublié (Girl 6) mais également de sa voix de cinéma préférée, celle de Jean Negroni dans La Jetée (Chris Marker). Femme de scène, elle nous parle de son costume de cinéma préféré mais également de son besoin de rester spectatrice, puis revient sur ce qu'elle fait du regard des metteurs en scène masculins aujourd'hui. En point d'orgue, elle convoque Anouk Grinberg. Puis elle nous remmène dans la salle de cinéma, refuge ultime en toutes circonstances. Évidemment, au détour de la conversation, Bonnie nous a cité une poignée d'autres pépites. Mais pour les découvrir, il faut écouter ! Nous remercions notre invitée Bonnie Banane ainsi qu'Elodie Imbeau et Pierre Senechal sans qui cet entretien n'aurait pu se faire.Nous remercions enfin Hugo Cohen qui par son mix, nous a permis de rendre les pistes à nouveau audibles !

Send us a textThe conversation shifts to Marvel's surprising box office hit "Thunderbolts," which has topped charts for two consecutive weekends. We break down why this particular entry has connected with audiences when recent Marvel offerings have faltered – examining how its grounded approach, practical location shooting, and thoughtful mental health themes provide a refreshing alternative to CGI-heavy spectacles. Florence Pugh's star power and David Harbour's charismatic performance contribute to a film that feels contained yet consequential within the larger Marvel universe.Summer movie season approaches with promising titles, and we analyze recent trailers for Spike Lee's "High to Low," Celine Song's rom-com "The Materialist," the final "Conjuring" installment, and Zach Cregger's anticipated horror follow-up "Weapons." With Cannes Film Festival underway, we speculate about potential award contenders like Ari Aster's "Eddington" and Julia Ducournau's "Alpha," considering how the festival increasingly predicts Oscar success.

Ryan Coogler began his career in film as a realist with “Fruitvale Station,” which tells the story of a true-to-life tragedy about a police killing in the Bay Area. He then directed the class drama of “Creed,” a celebrated “Rocky” sequel. But then he moved to the epic fantasy of Marvel's hit “Black Panther” movies. In his newest project, “Sinners,” Coogler continues to deal with themes of history, faith, and race, but through the lens of horror. Jelani Cobb sat down with the director to discuss setting the film in the South, the mythology of the blues, and how he made a vampire story his own.
