Podcast appearances and mentions of Bill Murray

Is That Bill Murray?

Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme crash-lands into theaters with a symmetry—and we're here to unpack the wreckage. Benicio Del Toro plays Anatole “Zsa-Zsa” Korda, a morally exhausted arms dealer who survives a plane crash and decides, rather abruptly, to become a better man. His daughter, a nun (played with unsettling calm by Mia Threapleton), may be his salvation. Or his reckoning. Or both. Along for the ride: Michael Cera as a soft-spoken entomologist, a council of multinational bureaucrats with murderous intent, and Bill Murray as God (in grayscale, naturally).Pete Wright hosts this morally ambiguous briefing with fellow operatives Tommy Metz III and Steve Sarmento, as they parse Anderson's most spiritually ambitious and physically violent film to date. There are questions—big ones. Is this Cain and Abel by way of a TWA departure lounge? Why does forgiveness feel like a conference call?We dig into the film's sumptuous craft, its emotional architecture, and the performances that hold it all together with linen thread and murmured apologies. If you've ever wanted to see a man seek redemption through dinner parties, aerial espionage, and awkward family reunions, this one's for you.Film SundriesWatch this on Apple or find other places at JustWatchTheatrical trailerLetterboxd Learn how to support our show and The Next Reel's family of film podcasts by becoming a member.

Join Andrew Gordon & Roxy Striar as they step into the pastel-hued halls of Wes Anderson's 2014 masterwork The Grand Budapest Hotel. When legendary concierge M. Gustave H. (Ralph Fiennes, The English Patient, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) is framed for the murder of dowager Madame D. (Tilda Swinton, Michael Clayton, Snowpiercer), young lobby boy Zero Moustafa (Tony Revolori, Dope, The French Dispatch) embarks on a whirlwind quest across the snowy Republic of Zubrowka to clear his mentor's name. Along the way, they're aided by pastry-chef Agatha (Saoirse Ronan, Lady Bird, Little Women), who crafts the iconic Courtesan au Chocolat, and pursued by the vengeful heir Dmitri (Adrien Brody, The Pianist, Midnight in Paris). The stellar ensemble also features F. Murray Abraham (Yuri, Amadeus, Scarface) as the ruthless jailer who leads the prison break; Willem Dafoe (Jopling, Spider-Man, The Lighthouse) as the cold-blooded henchman; Jeff Goldblum (Deputy Kovacs, Jurassic Park, Thor: Ragnarok) as the skeptical prosecutor; Jude Law (The Author, Sherlock Holmes, Fantastic Beasts) as the narrating novelist; and cameos from Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Harvey Keitel, Lea Seydoux, and Owen Wilson.

Joe Nicchi is an actor, entrepreneur and father of four kids. Big deal, though, he also founded one of the hottest and fastest-selling ice cream brands in the world, CVT Soft Serve. Starting out with one truck in the San Fernando Valley, CVT exploded throughout the world, now sold in supermarkets all over the country, with a little help from Bill Murray. Joe's story is typical of Southern California. He came out to become a movie star, attending USC as a Film major but, when that didn't take off, he thought to himself, "let's open an ice cream truck." The rest is, as they say, history.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/90who10/donations

Hello everyone and welcome back to another review here on MOVIE Morning. Wes Anderson's latest film - The Phoenician Scheme - hit UK cinemas this past weekend and will have a slow international rollout over the next month or so. I am a bit of a Wes Anderson noob. I watched Fantastic Mr. Fox obsessively when I was younger and have seen The Grand Budapest Hotel but other than that, I don't have an exact recollection of whether I've seen any of his other movies. Because of the early release here, I thought I'd give The Phoenician Scheme a shot, especially because Anderson has such a passionate following and the plot description seemed interesting to me. Is it worth seeing at the cinema? Find out in this review!The Phoenician Scheem:Directed by: Wes AndersonStory by: Wes Anderson & Roman CoppolaScreenplay by: Wes AndersonProduced by: Wes Anderson, Jeremy Dawson, John Peet, Steven RalesExecutive Producers: Roman Coppola, Henning MolfenterOriginal music by: Alexandre DesplatDirector of Photography: Bruno DelbonnelEdited by: Barney PillingCasting by: Douglas AibelProduction Design by: Adam StockhausenCostume Design by: Milena CanoneroCast: Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Mathieu Amalric, Richard Ayoade, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend, Hope Davis, Bill Murray, Willem DafoeSynopsis: The story of a family and a family business.

Welcome to Season 7! As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, “What happened?” This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years. It's a big discussion today. Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon (2023). Adapted from the nonfiction book of the same name, the film opens up a discussion of the consciousness-raising of the 2010s. Paul and Corey have a fairly in-depth discussion of the over four hundred years genocide of the Indigenous people's of the Western hemisphere (most specifically what became the United States of America) and their resistance and struggle throughout that period (and up to today). Much of the information comes from Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz's book, An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States. There is a LOT to cover. It's an excellent film with incredible performances, score, editing, and representation and celebration of the Osage nation's culture.

Movie Star Great Dane's Owner Helps Educate the Public Host Laura Reeves is joined by Bev Klingensmith, breeder, owner and trainer of the canine star of the new movie, The Friend. [caption id="attachment_14029" align="alignleft" width="671"] Bev Klingensmith and Bing on set filming The Friend.[/caption] Klingensmith's dog, Bing, CH Flighty Foto White Christmas CD RA CA DCAT TKI CGC TT, plays the part of the Harlequin Great Dane in the movie which stars Naomi Watts and Bill Murray, about a solitary writer who adopts and bonds with a Great Dane that belonged to a late friend, helping her to come to terms with her past and her own creative inner life. Bing is Klingensmith's fourth generation of homebred Great Danes, starting in the late ‘90s. “The production company actually sent an e-mail to me back in January of 2020. When I first got the e-mail I deleted it. People, I've told that story and people ask if I thought it was a scam or fake. And I'm like, no, I just didn't think it was realistic for me. They're talking filming in New York. I live in Iowa. And then I was like, you know, I do have lots of friends on the East Coast with Danes. Maybe I can help point them in the right direction, give them some contacts at least. That was really my only initial reason to reach back out.” Klingensmith is very aware of concerns about the risks posed by purebred dogs appearing in movies and has used the movie as a platform for education about her beloved breed. “I worked with the production team and we put a piece in the credits encouraging folks to visit the Great Dane Club of America's website for breeder referrals and rescue contacts. I have worked with a few rescues for fundraising. We've done so many Q&A events and things like that. And that is one of the things I always hit on is Great Danes are not for everyone. “They are not couch potatoes. They're giant, their expenses are giant. If you choose to get a Great Dane, where you get the Great Dane is so important. It's not just selecting the right breed for your home. It's also selecting where to get that dog. And that's almost more important than selecting the right breed. And that's been a huge statement that I've been trying to make over and over to the public and fingers crossed the message gets out there. “One of the things I like to point out, he is a champion. He's purposely bred, carefully bred, thoughtfully bred with generations of all the same behind him. That none of that has happened by chance. His temperament and his behavior, none of it has happened by chance. “I try to stress that to people as much as I can because we're talking about where you get your dog is so important. I told people a lot, ignorance and apathy, they're both really bad traits to have in a breeder. I might love my dog, but if I don't know what I'm doing, I'm still gonna be a bad breeder unintentionally. And that's just as damaging as the breeders that don't care.”

Remember Us, by Robert Edsel-#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Monuments Men (which was turned into a blockbuster film with an all-star cast including George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray and Cate Blanchett) -begins in the pre-dawn hours of Hitler's invasion of Western Europe on May 10, 1940, when his forces rolled into the small rural province of Limburg in the Netherlands shattering more than 100 years of peace. Their freedom gone, the Dutch lived through four-and-a-half years of occupation until American forces reached Limburg in September 1944, the last portion of Western Europe liberated by the Allies before their advance on Nazi Germany slammed to a halt.Like The Monuments Men, Remember Us is an ensemble piece that follows twelve main characters over a six-year span, zeroing in on ordinary people including Frieda van Schäik, a teenager who falls in love with an American soldier; Lieutenant Colonel Robert Cole, the first member of the 101st Airborne to receive the Medal of Honor; and Sergeant Jeff Wiggins of the 960th Quartermaster Service Company, who escaped the poverty and racism of Alabama for yet another indignity-digging graves.Drawing on never-before-seen letters, diaries, and other historical records, Edsel shows the painful price of freedom, on the battlefields and inside American homes. In this rich, dramatic, and suspenseful story, he captures both the horrors of war and the transcendent power of gratitude, showing the extraordinary measures the Dutch have taken to thank their liberators. Remember Us is exactly the book we need-a reminder that grief is universal, that humanity knows no national or racial boundaries, and that we all want to be remembered, somehow, someway, by somebody.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Can you name a movie just by hearing a few seconds of audio—no visuals, no context, just vibes?In this laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show on 97.1 The Eagle, the crew dives into a hilariously relatable late-night game Skin's wife invented on the fly: “Guess That Movie by Sound Alone.” What started as a casual scroll through the cable guide turned into a full-blown cinematic guessing challenge that had Skin shouting, “Is that The Player?!” and nailing it.Ben Rogers and Jeff “Skin” Wade wax nostalgic about the joys of old-school cable TV and the underrated thrill of channel surfing.Kevin “KT” Turner and Krystina Ray defend the modern streaming life, sparking a hilarious generational debate about guides, apps, and whether Hulu Live counts as “real TV.”Skin's uncanny ability to identify Ghostbusters II just from Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver's voices is both impressive and absurd.The team riffs on the absurdity of pay-per-view listings, including a few… very adult titles that sneak into the conversation.

In this episode, Anna and Derek discuss subtle Bill Murray vs. over-the-top Bill Murray, if it's okay to shave someone's head without first telling them and much more during their discussion of Ivan Reitman's Stripes (1981). Connect with '80s Movie Montage on Facebook, Bluesky or Instagram! It's the same handle for all three... @80smontagepod.Anna Keizer and Derek Dehanke are the co-hosts of ‘80s Movie Montage. The idea for the podcast came when they realized just how much they talk – a lot – when watching films from their favorite cinematic era. Their wedding theme was “a light nod to the ‘80s,” so there's that, too. Both hail from the Midwest but have called Los Angeles home for several years now. Anna is a writer who received her B.A. in Film/Video from Columbia College Chicago and M.A. in Film Studies from Chapman University. Her dark comedy short She Had It Coming was an Official Selection of 25 film festivals with several awards won for it among them. Derek is an attorney who also likes movies. It is a point of pride that most of their podcast episodes are longer than the movies they cover.We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.

On this week's episode of the Bag Drop: Untold Stories in golf, we ask the hard questions, like, is time real? What is the cultural impact of films like Top Gun: Maverick? Who is Mort Sherman? Matt and the Professor welcome renowned storyteller and lesser-known golfer Darren Schwartz to the show. Among many topics, the trio highlights the importance of mentorship in golf, business, and in life before shifting to the dynamics of winning, where players balance supporting their opponents while striving for victory, and the temptations of psychological warfare on the course. Darren shares some excerpts from his memoir, examining personal growth and experiences with ayahuasca. They discuss public speaking, caddies' roles, and share anecdotes relating to mental health and the performance of each. The dialogue is infused with humor and relatable to both golf enthusiasts and those seeking personal development. Matt and Darren wrap up by reflecting on memorable golf moments, including a heartfelt letter to Bill Murray, the significance of Jim Nantz's sultry voice in April, and non-essential golf gear that's just fun to have in the bag. The conversation concludes by reflecting on how golf mirrors life's challenges and joys, emphasizing its psychological examinations as one of the game's unique and great strengths.

Nick takes a deep dive into one of the most chaotic and heavily criticized seasons in Saturday Night Live history: Season 20, also known as The Bad Boys Club Season. Following the departure of core cast members like Phil Hartman, Rob Schneider, and Julia Sweeney, the show found itself leaning hard into the rowdy, often crude humor of Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, and David Spade—while sidelining much of the female cast, including Janine Garofalo, who left midway through the season. The cast was bloated, the writing uneven, and the press relentless. Nick walks through the entire season with behind-the-scenes stories, including how Jeff Daniels nearly suffered a serious makeup mishap, why Dan Aykroyd unofficially hosted instead of the listed John Goodman, and how the writers struggled with brilliant hosts like Bob Newhart, John Turturro, David Hyde Pierce, and Courtney Cox—while completely losing control during hosting gigs by George Foreman and Deion Sanders. Despite its rough reputation, the season had its moments: Norm Macdonald took over the Weekend Update desk, Molly Shannon made a strong debut halfway through, and both Damon Wayans and Dana Carvey returned to deliver some much-needed highlights. You'll also hear Stuart Smalley hilariously scolding the public for ignoring his movie, and Bill Murray delivering a moving tribute to the late Michael O'Donoghue. It's a full look at one of SNL's messiest, most fascinating seasons—flawed, but unforgettable. [Ep 122]

Welcome to this classic episode. Classics are my favorite episodes from the past 10 years, published once a month. These are N of 1 conversations with N of 1 people. There aren't many people like Cyan Banister. Her life story is remarkable. She was homeless at a young age, dropped out of high school, and five years ago she suffered an extremely rare stroke. Yet, in spite of everything, she is one of the most optimistic and curious people you can hope to meet. Cyan is also one of the great angel investors of this era, having invested early in SpaceX, Uber, Postmates, and Deepmind to name a few winners. She became the first female investing partner at Peter Thiel's Founders Fund and now invests at Long Journey Ventures. Our conversation is as much about investing as it is about the essence of life and how connecting with that will help us in our professional pursuits. It is also full of awesome stories about people and companies like SpaceX and Bill Murray. Please enjoy this great conversation with Cyan Banister.
