It's post-Oscar Monday on BEHIND THE LENS and most of Hollywood is probably still recuperating from a night of celebration. Some big winners last evening, notably ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, SINNERS, and KPOP DEMON HUNTERS, and you'll hear me talk about the evening with the good, the bad, and, to borrow from Sigourney Weaver, the adorable. But on #BTLRadioShow, we're looking ahead with films that could be in contention for the 99th Academy Awards next year, namely COLD STORAGE and screenwriter DAVID KOEPP, and DO NOT ENTER and director MARC KLASFELD. First up is screenwriter – and also author – David Koepp talking about his sci-fi thriller COLD STORAGE. You all know who David is. He's the screenwriter behind Jurassic Park, Stir of Echoes, The Mummy, several Indiana Jones movies, Zathura, Death Becomes Her, Carlito's Way, and so many more. Some are original scripts. Many are adaptations of books or novellas from authors like Michael Crichton and Stephen King. But now, with COLD STORAGE, David is adapting his own book! The film stars Liam Neeson, Lesley Manville, Joe Keery, Georgina Campbell, and Vanessa Redgrave. Then we go from sci-fi thriller with snark and humor to a straight-up terror-filled tale from director MARC KLASFELD – DO NOT ENTER. And I'll tell you all right now, if you're from Philly or Jersey and have fond memories of going down the shore or all those stories and rumors about haunted places, horrid creatures like the Jersey Devil, or mobsters galore, then this is definitely the film for you. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
Does changing a pervert's name make them less of pervert? This manga publisher seems to think so, but the internet doesn't agree.

This week, the boys headed to 1970 to the new decade of the new wave of American independent cinema! Bob Rafelson's “Five Easy Pieces” established the behavior-driven, theme-over-plot indie movies that paved the way for the best era for indies. Jack Nicholson is a badass (asshole) prodigy-turned-roustabout looking to find himself in people he's willing to screw over in Bob Rafelson's seminal movie. After John fires off some mini-reviews and news, we set up the film year of 1970 before we drink beers and try to keep our conversation positive! linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page!

Anderson to celebrate the launch of the brand new Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. Kickstarter that is now live! After the interview, we break it all down and then talk about whatever the hell the Firefly cast has been teasing for the last couple of weeks and what it could and won't be, George RR Martin, Stephen King, and a bunch of other fun stuff in this extra special episode of your favorite Podcast-A-Roonie!

We kick off with the Great American Outdoor Show highlights: the Henry Mare's Leg in the X-Model, Taylor's & Co.'s badass short-throw 9mm lever action (including that Space Cowboy version collab), and Whiskey River Antiques loaded with old-school surplus munitions. Then we dive deeper into The Running Man follow-up—turns out Christopher Reeve was originally cast as Ben Richards before major script changes that turned a darker, more book-faithful story into the over-the-top '80s action classic we know. Would it have stuck closer to Stephen King's novel with Superman in the lead? We speculate! We vent about the dumbest internet comments out there (why do people even?), geek out over classics like Big Trouble in Little China, Top Secret!, Tom Selleck's detective flicks, and why owning physical media for movies and music still rules in 2026. Grab a seat—this one's packed with guns, movies, rants, and laughs. Thanks for hanging!

Jared Leto was the reigning Joker. Todd Phillips couldn't get the films he wanted to do off the ground. The DC range of movies was having a whole range of challenges for Warner Bros. And constant changes at the studio were leading to regular challenges of direction. In the midst of this, a relatively slim production, Joker, would have notable ramifications. Similarly slim, Cat's Eye marks the first credited screenplay for a man called Stephen King. But this too had challenges, when the original financing plan fell apart. And then, another film - Firestarter - had a bit of a knock-on effect... Stories of both are told in this episode. Please like/subscribe/leave nice reviews. Thank you!

Update on our week: This week on Freeform Radio, the guys cover everything from video games and movies to Olympic glory, global tensions, and one of rock's most controversial deaths. Noel kicks things off in the gaming world after finally finishing Guardians of the Galaxy. He breaks down the cinematic gameplay, team-based combat system, and the surprisingly fun “huddle” mechanic that pumps up your squad mid-battle. While the game impressed visually and delivered a fun story, a few frustrating glitches kept it from reaching elite status. Noel also revisits a legendary franchise with Mega Man 11, playing it on the Steam Deck and sharing how the classic formula has evolved with new gear mechanics and modern visuals—while still holding onto that old-school challenge. Daniel shifts the conversation to entertainment and reviews the time-travel thriller 11/22/63, based on a Stephen King novel. The story follows a man who discovers a portal to 1960 and attempts to prevent the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The concept is gripping, the journey is intense—but did the ending live up to the hype? Daniel shares his thoughts. He also dives into the remake of Silent Hill 2, explaining how the updated horror classic captures the psychological tension of the original while bringing it into the modern gaming era. The discussion continues with the new Running Man movie and whether it holds up compared to the iconic Arnold Schwarzenegger classic. Andy brings the sports energy, breaking down a massive moment from the Winter Olympics as Team USA defeats Canada to win the gold medal in men's hockey—a victory decades in the making. The guys talk about the intensity of the rivalry, the social media reactions, and why moments like this still unite fans. Andy also celebrates the return of baseball as spring games begin and the long road toward the MLB season kicks off. The conversation then shifts to bigger world events, including rising tensions between the United States and Iran and what potential military escalation could mean. The hosts share their perspectives on the uncertainty surrounding global politics and how quickly situations can change. Finally, the Article of the Week dives into one of music's most debated mysteries: the death of Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain. A former Seattle police officer now claims the original investigation may have been mishandled, raising questions about evidence inconsistencies, the crime scene, and whether Cobain's death was truly a suicide.

One of the biggest news stories of the year was the tragic passing of Rob Reiner. The man had an extremely prolific career in Hollywood, cranking out several films that today are considered modern classics. That includes arguably the greatest 6 film run to start a career in the history of film. One of the films in that run was 1990''s Misery. The film was Reiner's second adaptation of a Stephen King film and not only showed his talent for pulling great work out of actors, but also his versatility as a director.

Acceso anticipado para Fans - Nos adentramos en una de las historias más inquietantes de Stephen King: The Mist, una pesadilla claustrofóbica donde una simple niebla lo cambia todo. Lo que empieza como una tormenta extraña acaba convirtiéndose en un encierro lleno de paranoia, miedo y monstruos… algunos fuera del supermercado y otros dentro. En este programa analizamos el relato original y su adaptación cinematográfica The Mist, dirigida por Frank Darabont. Hablamos de cómo se traslada la historia a la pantalla, del tono opresivo de la película, de sus criaturas lovecraftianas y, por supuesto, de ese final que dejó a media audiencia en shock. Debatimos qué funciona mejor en cada formato, cómo se construye el terror psicológico en la obra de King y por qué esta historia sigue siendo una de las más recordadas dentro de su universo. También repasamos su lectura social, el comportamiento humano cuando todo se derrumba y el miedo irracional que surge cuando lo desconocido aparece en la puerta. Con Javi Echoes, Tony y el Mamado Lidel, en una charla cargada de análisis, reflexiones, humor negro y algún que otro momento de “¿pero tú qué habrías hecho si estuvieras en ese supermercado?”. Si te gusta el terror de Stephen King, las adaptaciones al cine y las historias donde el verdadero monstruo puede ser el ser humano… este programa te va a atrapar como la niebla.Escucha este episodio completo y accede a todo el contenido exclusivo de La Guarida del Sith.

Before rock history hardens into legend, someone has to sit across from the people who lived it and ask the right questions. In this episode of My Rock Moment, Amanda Morck sits down with Andy Greene, senior writer at Rolling Stone. He's been with the magazine since 2004 and is one of the most trusted long-form interviewers. For two decades, Andy has documented the voices behind the music — from global superstars to the musicians who quietly shaped the sound of entire eras. Andy is the creator of Rolling Stone's acclaimed interview series Unknown Legends, spotlighting veteran artists who helped build iconic careers without becoming household names, and King for a Day, which explores the high-stakes experience of singers stepping into major bands after the departure of a legendary frontman. In this wide-ranging conversation, Andy reflects on what Rolling Stone meant to him before he ever walked through its doors, and how his perspective changed once he was inside. He shares stories from interviewing Phil Collins of Genesis (his favorite band growing up), recounts a deeply human moment connecting with Bill Withers, and explains how he builds trust with artists who've answered the same questions for decades. The discussion also turns to California rock — the mythology, the session players, the excess, and the musicians history may not have fully caught up with. Along the way, Andy opens up about interviewing Stephen King, including King's famously strong feelings about The Shining and Jack Nicholson's performance. Andy brings significant perspective to the art of music interviews and has some incredible stories to share from his journey from the Rock Hall to Rolling Stone.

Pack for a long hike but inexplicably don't bring any water as we trek off to see Rob Reiner's Stand By Me. Did anyone else mentally block out the blueberry pie scene? Does thinking of this movie as Wesley Crusher on a holodeck adventure make it better? And we know parental oversight was negligible in the 80s, but were kids in the 60s just completely feral? No time to answer, we've got to outrun this train!

We have something of an academic detour for you with this episode. Listen along as we're joined by Professor Andy Hageman (Director of the Center for Ethics and Public Engagement at Luther College) who recently got access to the exclusive Stephen King Archive where he got hands on with King's original typed manuscripts and discovered something fairly interesting about King's process, particularly when it comes to The Dark Half.The Prof tells us what it was like to get that close to literary history as well as what it's like teaching King at a college level and what he thinks future scholars will teach when it comes to Stephen King.If you like what you hear, make sure to check out Hageman's essay on this experience for the LA Review of Books here: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/stephen-king-dark-half-revisited-archives-richard-bachman/

2025 Hit Sleeper Dud is here, and this year it's a solo pod.Whitey is on the road, the Academy Awards are looming, and the team is temporarily scattered, but the show must go on. So in true Born to Watch fashion, we break down the year in film the only way we know how, by calling it straight. The hits. The sleepers. The duds. No fence-sitting. No safe takes. Just movie love, movie rage, and a bit of chaos in between.First up, the HITS.Leading the charge is F1, starring the forever-sexy Brad Pitt. It's big, loud, formulaic and absolutely electric. Joseph Kosinski proves again he knows how to strap a camera inside a cockpit and make you feel every rev. Unreal cinema fun. That's what movies are supposed to be.Then comes Weapons, the horror surprise that had Whitey on edge from start to finish. Creepy premise, massive performances, and Amy Madigan absolutely crushing it. This one lingers.Stephen King's The Long Walk delivers bleak dystopia done right. Cooper Hoffman proves the talent runs in the bloodline, and Mark Hamill playing against type adds weight to a brutal premise.The Fantastic Four: First Steps lands better than expected, giving Marvel just enough oxygen to stay alive heading into Doomsday. Period setting, Galactus looming, and yes, Pedro Pascal everywhere.And yes, Jaws returning to cinemas for its 50th anniversary still rules the ocean. Some films do not age. They evolve.Now the SLEEPERS.Anaconda (2025) should not have worked. But it did. Jack Black, Paul Rudd, jungle chaos, midlife crisis energy. Low expectations. Big laughs.The Naked Gun reboot? Surprisingly hilarious. Liam Neeson leans into absurdity and Pamela Anderson brings the heat. It's not Leslie Nielsen, but it earns its laughs.Then Marvel's quiet comeback entry, Fantastic Four, sneaks in again as a sleeper-level win.Now the DUDS.Jurassic World Rebirth proves some DNA experiments should stay extinct.Superman should have soared. Instead, it stumbled. Strong casting, messy execution.And Captain America: Brave New World? Whitey turned it off. Enough said.Plus, we talk about the “meh” movies like Sinners and One Battle After Another, which were good but not great.Then we look forward. Spielberg. Nolan's The Odyssey. Michael. Masters of the Universe. Mandalorian and Grogu. Avengers Doomsday. Dune Messiah.Big year coming.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONWhat was YOUR 2025 Hit Sleeper Dud?Did Superman deserve better?Are we done with dinosaurs yet?Drop us a voicemail at https://www.borntowatch.com.au and be part of the show.Like.

What if the most important chapter of your life hasn't been written yet?In this rare in-person conversation, Patricia Sands opens up about grief, reinvention, aging, creativity, and the unexpected power of starting late.Patricia published her first novel at 65. Today, at 80, she has written 13 books — many set in France, a country she fell in love with at 21 while backpacking with friends. But before the novels, there was loss. Widowed at 43. Two sons. A life rewritten overnight.We explore how grief shaped her storytelling, why community saved her creative life, how AI unexpectedly helped her research historical fiction, and what it really means to write from intuition.This is a conversation about dignity, aging, reinvention, and why it's never too late to become who you are.A special shout out to my co-host Valentin Randon.

In January 2026, nearly a decade after hitting record on their first book episode, The Losers' Club completed their Herculean task. From 1974's 'Carrie' to 2025's 'Never Flinch', the Losers covered each and every title in King's Dominion with expansive book episodes. Now, they're going to do what anybody does when they complete a gargantuan catalogue in pop culture: rank them. Behold, The Definitive Stephen King Book Ranking! In the following months, the Club will countdown King's published novels -- specifically, novels (no collections) -- from worst to best. Today, they begin this journey with their picks for 66 to 59.

Andrew Lincoln starred in a TV series, and so of course we're gonna talk about it! Thing is, he plays kind of a berk (that's British for chode). Coldwater (available on Paramount+ in the U.S.) is a lot of fun though — it's funny, thought-provoking, and it's a good old-fashioned thriller to sink your teeth into. I wouldn't necessarily give it my highest recommendation, but honestly, that fact that Lucy and I had so much fun talking about it made me like it even more. You gotta be ready to see Andrew Lincoln playing a berk though….
