We pivot away from George Lucas and back to Robert Altman to answer the age old question: what if a muttering guy with weird arms got handed a strange baby in a fucked up town that was all set to song? POPEYE is brave enough to answer.Mitch still has the theme song to Sweethaven stuck in his head.Art by Jade Dickinson: @jadesketches on Instagram | @jadesketches on TikTokListen to Liam's Weezer podcast hereListen to "Like the Weather," the new EP from Liam's band Guest Room StatusFind the show on InstagramFind Corey and Liam on TwitterFind MK Podquest and Strat 2 hereReach us via email: tmaopodcast@gmail.com"Eighties Action" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
Aside from being The King Bee's designated second-date movie, Robert Altman's "Popeye" is the film Robin Williams was born to carry. A charming Shelley Duvall, an incredible set piece in the town of Sweethaven, terrifically off-tune songs and mutterings designed to be enjoyed on mushrooms power this 1980 movie based on a 1929 comic strip. But is it as good as commissioner Scott H. in Friendswood, Texas, thinks? Set sail and find out!

We're joined this week by our wonderful friends Ian and Jake from Pod Casty for Me on the beautiful island of Sweethaven to discuss POPEYE. There's lots of great jokes and laughs, and we get into this production that is maybe more entertaining than the actual movie itself. There's Robert Evans impressions, lots of cocaine talk, and a whole lot to share with Popeye.

Shiver me timbers and blow me down! Comfort Films Podcast is dropping anchor in Sweethaven to start a month of celebrating Robin Williams films! In this first episode of the series, we're joined by guest Jenn Riedell for a surreal trip down memory lane as we discuss this buried treasure of a musical, directed by Robert Altman and scripted by Jules Feiffer. Featuring Robin Williams in his first lead role in film, Popeye is also a vehicle for a magical soundtrack of songs from 70s pop star Harry Nilsson. We discuss the amazing set built in Malta, which still exists as a tourist attraction, Shelley Duvall's totally iconic performance as Olive Oyl, Ray Walston's crotchety and hilariously named character Poopdeck Pappy, the bizarre religious underpinnings of Popeye's famous catchphrase, the film's comic strip origins, the many talented circus performers who bring the film to life, and the birth of home video, which paved the way for young Gen Xers to start watching and rewatching comfort movies (complete with some bad humming of the HBO theme song from the 80s). Pop open a can of spinach and give us a listen!
Directed by Robert Altman, Popeye is the musical comedy film based on E. C. Segar's Popeye comics character. Luke and Nathan break open a can of spinach as they take on this 1980 Paramount and Walt Disney production which stars Robin Williams as Popeye the Sailor Man. Looking for the father (Ray Walston) who deserted him as a baby, Popeye (Robin Williams) journeys to the port town of Sweethaven. Popeye befriends an assortment of eccentrics and falls in love with Olive Oyl (Shelley Duvall), who already has a suitor, the bully Bluto (Paul L. Smith).
We're looking at the 1980 film from director Robert Altman and writer Jules Feifer, Popeye. Based on the King Syndicate comic by E.C. Segar, it's the story of a mariner (Robin Williams) who comes to the port town of Sweethaven looking for his father. He finds a town under the control of a mysterious man known only as The Commodore who has left his right hand man, Bluto (Paul L Smith), in charge of the city which is plagued with ruffians and an overzealous tax collector. He meets the Oyl family, a dysfunctional group whom he must redeem in order to find his father and true happiness.Father Malone and Paul Zimmerman join Mike to discuss the film while interviews include Allan F. Nicholls, Paul Dooley, and MacIntyre Dixon.

Something sinister this way comes to Anime Was (Not) A Mistake! Inspired by the love of bad movies…and hate of one another, Dan and Jon unwittingly introduce a new series on the podcast. The premise: Six mystery movies, ranging from bad to awful, are chosen at random and there’s no escape for our dim-witted hosts. Have they finally bitten off more than they can chew? Will they find salvation? Ecstasy? Or else, will they be consumed by the “sheer shlock” that is The Sinister Six? For the first episode, boy do we have a sinister shipwreck for you. We are off to Sweethaven and not even a fresh can of spinach can keep up our strength up! Jonathan is doing his best Olive Oyl impression hoping that Dan will put down the Catsup and become Popeye!

The Director's Club returns to the films of Robert Altman, looking at the ups and downs of his career after he nearly became exiled to Sweethaven due to the "Popeye" debacle. We explore how he worked his way back with innovative takes on theatrical material like "Secret Honor" and "Fool For Love", returned back to critical and popular attention with "The Player" and "Short Cuts", created memorable characters like Griffin Mill, Maggie Smith's Countess from "Gosford Park" / "Downtown Abbey", and Stiggs, and used his directorial talent to expand, dismantle, and illuminate everything from the movie industry to rogue presidents to a ballet company (to even the world of Mayberry in "Cookie's Fortune"!)

Celebrating the 50th Episode of the show Jonathan and Jarrett welcome the Owner and Executive Director of The Frida Cinema, Logan Crow. This week our guest has picked one the most insane and surreal films of Robin William's career: Popeye (1980) directed by Robert Altman and starring Robin Williams, Shelley Duvall, and Ray Walston. Just WHO is this film for? Why are the songs so repetitive and the coreography almost non-existant? How is there a Popeye film out there where Popeye doesn't like spinach? Does the town of Sweethaven actually exist? (Hint it does! Check it out on our Instagram!) Find out the answer to these questions and so much more on this weeks episode.

Ug ug ug ug ug ug! Grab your schooners and your spinach cans as NostalgiaCast looks back at POPEYE, Robert Altman's live-action, comedy-musical adaptation of the classic E.C. Segar comic strip. Jonny and Darin stare wide-eyed in wonder at all the fantastical sights, sounds, and cartoon shenanigans of seaside Sweethaven, and what happens to the townsfolk there when a muttering, semi-deformed sailor man steps off the docks and into their hearts. But does Altman's signature style lend itself to the comic book format? Or do the whimsical songs and spot-on character impersonations get lost in the fray? Have a listen and we'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today! Rent/stream POPEYE on Amazon, Google Play, or Vudu today!
Grab the nearest can of spinach, friends, and get ready for this week's (sound-issue-free) episode of Mousterpiece Cinema! On this episode, Josh and Gabe are headed to the lakeside village of Sweethaven to tangle with Wimpy, the Oyl family, Bluto, and everyone's favorite sailor man, Popeye, in discussing the 1980 film Popeye, starring the late Robin Williams as the title character. And, of course, this one's directed by...the auteur Robert Altman? Yes, really, the same man behind Nashville and McCabe and Mrs. Miller directed this film, just as Robert Evans produced it. Did Josh and Gabe talk about Altman's career on this episode? You bet your ass they did. (Promise: no Robert Evans impressions on the podcast itself.) Are Josh and Gabe fans of this quirky family film, or did they find themselves unable to get on its wavelength? Short answer: they yam what they yam. Long answer: listen to find out!

Natasha Lyonne! Natasha Lyonne! Everybody screams for Natasha Lyonne! What a treat, America. NATASHA LYONNE, goddamn movie and television star and wonderful human, is here to chat with us right before the Emmys, kiddos. Enjoy as Natasha explains to us why everything is Hitler's fault, why she hasn't watched OITNB yet in full, how bonobo monkeys are totally passé, the veracity of @UberFacts, whether Diane Keaton could attend an orthodox shul wearing what she usually wears, and that time some girls in sleepaway camp thought she was the devil. Also- more meditations on disappointment! How you are trapped in the moment when fantastizing just depresses you! The Bourdain-Lite rock 'n' roll anthem that is the HOTEL HELL theme song! What "Soulless" is a synonym for (Unhaunted)! Michelle Williams doing something very weird during CABARET! Ice Water as social media! How the residents of Sweethaven from the film "Popeye" are just big weirdos! And how, if you show your ugly stuff as well as your glittering gold, nobody can "getcha" for being miserable. Hooray for this show.
This week on Alcohollywood, we hit the high seas once again for the Robert Altman directed musical flop Popeye: The Movie! This 1980 mess of a film sees Popeye (a mumbling Robin Williams) enter the idyllic world of Sweethaven, only to fall in love with the wide-eyed Olive Oyl (Shelley Duvall), adopt the adorable Swee’Pea, and fight off the blustering Bluto (Paul L. Smith). Altman’s signature cinematography, with its muted backgrounds and emphasis on wide shots, has its similarities to the original Max Fleischer cartoons. Still, it also ends up treating everything with a weird distance. Add to that the limp performance of Harry Nilsson’s songs, and Popeye: The Movie ends up being an alienating, weird experience. Take a listen to our collective frustration, and wash it down with our custom cocktail and drinking rules!
