Podcast appearances and mentions of Ted Kotcheff

Lorcan Finnegan's wild and weird trip-fest flick The Surfer is one that's had local audiences salivating at the prospect of its arrival. That anticipation went into hyperdrive when Oscar winning actor and walking cult-factory Nicolas Cage was announced as the leading man, a bloke returning home to the South West to buy his family home, reconnect with family, and surf a little. His idea of a Christmas sojourn is scarpered when 'the locals', headed up by Julian McMahon at his career best, thwart his chance of escaping the heat and securing the home he has his eyes on.The Surfer is, admittedly, a divisive flick, with reactions ranging from comparisons to Wake in Fright, to our own critic Cody Allen voicing displeasure with it. I personally found the film akin to that of a dehydrated fever dream, as if you're continually out of reach of hydrolytes and salvation, so instead you have to resort to drinking dog shit filled water and maybe chowing down on local rodents to get by. It's sweaty, filthy, and at times, oddly representative of what it feels like to visit Margaret River and Yallingup after downing too many bevvies at Beerfarm. And yeah, those comparisons to Ted Kotcheff's flick feel apt given its presentation of masculinity, but to me it's more like a West Aussie version of the seventies thriller The Swimmer.There's something really sweaty about The Surfer, a mystery embedded in a world of mean and mad folks who each have a sly streak of cruelty, wrapped up in that familiar Aussie friendliness. I was never sure where Lorcan Finnegan and writer Thomas Martin was taking me, but I was bloody happy to be dragged along in the process. There's a risk taking mindset to The Surfer, one that pushes at the boundaries of what Aussie films or stories can be. If this is where Aussie stories told from non-Aussie perspectives might be going, then strap me in, I'm on for the whole ride.As Western Australia ramps up to becoming a full throttled filmmaking state with the 2026 arrival of our first 'film studios', it then became a good time to touch base with surrogate sandgroper Robert Connolly, this time wearing a producer hat, to talk about his role in bringing The Surfer to WA shores, what his experience of having made films like Paper Planes and Blueback brings to a major production like this one, and additionally, what his producing presence means for filmmakers, actors, and Aussie creatives.It's always a delight to be able to talk to Robert, just as it's been a delight to be able to see the global reaction to a film like The Surfer. If you're in Australia, you'll have your chance to catch the film on the big screen - just how it's meant to be seen - from 15 May, before it heads onto Stan. later in the year.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.

Episode 135: The OFH boys pay special tribute to Canadian director Ted Kotcheff (1931-2025) with a look at his under-seen gem SPLIT IMAGE from 1982 starring Peter Fonda, Karen Allen & James Woods as an unhinged cult de-programmer! SIGN UP FOR THE OFH PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/onefuckinghour

CW: This episode contains discussions of alcoholism and cinematic violence including animal cruelty.The writer, comedian and musician Patrick Marlborough returns to the podcast from Perth, WA to discuss Wake in Fright (1971), the landmark Australian film by the late Canadian director Ted Kotcheff. One of only two films to be shown twice in the history of the Cannes Film Festival, and influential in shaping both the Australian New Wave and Ozploitation genres, Wake in Fright was acclaimed around the world but outraged local audiences with its brutal and merciless depiction of Australian toxic masculinity, violence, and alcoholism.Patrick gives us some insight on how Wake in Fright captures some of the ugliest aspects of the Australian national character, and we discuss how Kotcheff's Canadian-ness was an asset for his outsider's view of this world, the amazing supporting performance by Aussie comic screen icon Chips Rafferty in his final role, and how this great film was nearly lost forever.

In de 22e aflevering van de Gremlins Back 2 Back podcast bespreken Sven en Maarten No Way Out (1987) en Nightbitch (2024). Volgens Maarten heeft Sean Young dode ogen, Sven was warempel het charisma van Kevin Costner even vergeten, beide hosts zijn opnieuw onder de indruk van Amy Adams maar prijzen ook zowel Scoot McNairy als Will Patton. Tijdens de intermission wordt er stilgestaan bij het overlijden van Val Kilmer en Ted Kotcheff waarna het duo een hele rits aan titels overloopt: Boy Kills World, Dog Man, A Minecraft Movie, Kraven the Hunter, The Gorge, Drive-Away Dolls, Juror #2, Here, G20 en John Wick: Chapter 4. Heel veel besprekingen dus in episode 22 van de Gremlins Back 2 Back podcast, meteen ook de laatste van de eerste jaargang. Warme oproep aan de luisteraar: laat Sven en Maarten weten of ze verder moeten gaan met hun huidige slang dan wel opnieuw van nul beginnen op het einde van aflevering 23!

Ted Kotcheff fue el responsable de la primera película de Rambo o de la comedia "Este muerto está muy vivo". Pero mucho antes de eso, firmó la que es considerada la mejor película en la historia de Australia: "Wake in Fright", una cruda mirada al mundo tal como es.

Rambo Quand les héros de la pop culture nous donnent des leçons dʹHistoire. Dans cette série originale proposée par Anne Laure Gannac, lʹhistorien et journaliste Nicolas Méra, auteur de La vraie histoire des icones de la pop culture aux Editions First, nous raconte les origines mais aussi un peu de la grande Histoire qui se cache derrière des figures majeures de la pop culture. Aujourdʹhui, Rambo, vétéran du Vietnam né dans un roman de David Morrell en 1972 et apparu au cinéma dix ans plus tard dans un film de Ted Kotcheff.

Avec cette nouvelle enquête on prend la direction les années 50 où plusieurs meurtres ont été commis dans un lugubre manoir victorien, avec plusieurs suspects à la clé et aux mobiles établis, avec Cluedo réalisé en 1985 par Jonathan Lynn et adapté du jeu de société mondialement connu. Un autre format consacré d'avantage à un genre bien particulier du cinéma policier, à la fois ludique et mordant, qui nous vient tout droit de la littérature: le whodunit. De quoi faire le plein de recommandations avant les fêtes avec cette émission spéciale et qui se déguste comme une sucrerie à l'arsenic. Installez vous confortablement sous un plaid, bien au chaud et nous vous dirons qui l'a fait. Et cette fois ci c'est un esprit redoutable que nous accueillons en interrogatoire en la personne d'Alban Liebl, médiateur, conférencier et formateur en cinéma notamment pour le dispositif Lycéens au cinéma.   De quoi faire travailler vos petites cellules grises ! Retrouvez la photo signalétique de l'invité en début d'émission ainsi que les complices (un film dans le même giron) en toute fin de podcast. Avec dans cet épisode un retour sur Le Limier le chef-d'oeuvre de Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1972) et sur une véritable curiosité avec La Grande cuisine ou l'art et la manière d'assaisonner les chefs de Ted Kotcheff (1978) Un dossier mené par Rafael Lorenzo.

Some folks… you just don't mess with. On this one, we have Ted Kotcheff's “Rambo: First Blood” (1982) vs. Jeremy Saulnier's “Rebel Ridge” (2024). Which one is the more badass? Let's see! Aftershow: – Blak gives a spoiler-free review of “Megalopolis” (it's a lot…) – What is considered “a Netflix film”?

Fede Álvarez's ALIEN: ROMULUS is at its core an act of homage to the larger franchise, but is that a feature, a bug, or both? That's a question we attempt to reconcile in our discussion of Álvarez's acid-blood-soaked film, before comparing how this late-stage sequel compares with the franchise's original sequel, James Cameron's ALIENS, in iterating on the corporate meddling of Weyland-Yutani, the evolving nature of artificial humans, and comedy as characterization. And for Your Next Picture Show, we pivot hard away from this franchise-driven pairing for a recommendation of Spanish filmmaker Víctor Erice's first feature in over three decades, CLOSE YOUR EYES. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about ALIENS, ALIEN: ROMULUS, and anything else in the world of film and/or xenomorphs, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Here's a short teaser of our brand new Patreon-exclusive episode of Uncut Gems Tie-ins, a monthly series where we take a classic movie and connect it to a film discussed on our main show. In this episode of the show tying into this month's theme of April Off The Grid, we are talking about Ted Kotcheff's First Blood. Joined by a special guest and friend of the show Rich Foster we are discussing how The New Hollywood invented the action hero, whether Stallone needs to be thanked for the 80s and how a survival thriller about PTSD and authorities on a power trip spawned one of the most well-known franchises in Hollywood.

They drew first blood! Despite the ridiculousness that the Rambo franchise became, First Blood is one of the best movies of the '80s and is possibly Sylvester Stallone's finest acting of his career.

Ted Kotcheff's 1971 dust-covered, sweat-drenched Aussie Christmas thriller, WAKE IN FRIGHT, is our feature presentation this week. We discuss the film nearly being lost forever, the desolate Australian setting, the steady flow of alcohol, the controversial kangaroo hunting scene, and much much more!

Kitty Green's new THE ROYAL HOTEL follows two women stranded amid the oppressive masculinity of a rough-and-tumble Australian mining town, a purposeful gender subversion of Ted Kotcheff's 1971 Australian cult classic WAKE IN FRIGHT. We begin our two-week journey through the fringes of civilization with a trip to WAKE IN FRIGHT's “the Yabba” to discuss how the film's more harrowing elements, including its infamous kangaroo hunt, play in a context of sheer lawlessness, debate whether it feels like a representative Australian film, and try to decipher the strange allure of “two up.” And in Feedback, we consider a couple of listener-submitted contenders for our informal and always-expanding list of the greatest sci-fi of the 21st century. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about WAKE IN FRIGHT, THE ROYAL HOTEL, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

For this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched “Hidden Assassin” — also released under the name “The Shooter” — a 1995 action drama directed by Ted Kotcheff and starring Dolph Lundgren and Maruschka Detmers. In “Hidden Assassin,” Lundgren plays a U.S. Marshall, Michael Dane, tasked with arresting a woman, played by Detmers, suspected of assassinating the Cuban ambassador to the United States. Time is of the essence; the Secretary of State will meet with his Cuban counterpart in Prague — where the movie takes place — in an attempt to ease tensions between the two nations. But Lundgren isn't so sure that Detmers' character, Simone Rosset, is the shooter. What unfolds is a conspiracy that threatens Dane's life and implicates some of his closest allies.The tagline for “Hidden Assassin” is “Seduction is a deadly weapon!” Which doesn't have much to do with the actual movie.You can find “Hidden Assassin” to watch on Amazon Prime or for free on YouTube.Connor Lynch produced this episode.

It's perhaps a bit unfair to compare the new NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU to UNDER THE SKIN, a film widely considered (by us) to be one of the best science-fiction films of the last 20 years, but at least one of our co-hosts was taken by Brian Duffield's virtually dialogue-free story of a solitary woman fending off extraterrestrials. In the first half of this week's episode, they get into it with the rest of our panel — joined once again by comedian Joe Kwaczala (“Funny Songs and Sketches”) — over the film and whether its divisive ending is a subversively dark conclusion or an arbitrary attempt to be shocking. Then we bring UNDER THE SKIN back in to compare how these two films fill the space between their minimal dialogue and the degree to which they let us into the headspace of two alienated women with opposing yet complementary motivations. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about UNDER THE SKIN, NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Extreme Animal Cruelty Content Warning: this movie contains one of the single most despicable scenes of actual violence against animals either of us have likely ever seen in cinema. Kangaroos are shown being shot, struggling to escape, and slowly, painfully dying. There is a shot of a pile of severed kangaroo upper torsos that the camera lingers on. Do not watch this movie if that is the kind of thing that will upset. It upset John and it upset Josh. It's a really good movie in all respects, other than the depiction of inexcusable animal cruelty. Yes, we know the arguments about why it was a good thing, or whatever.   When not discussing that element, we have a good ol' time talking about this lost film, which some might call the greatest Ozploitation movie of all time. John and Josh disagree about whether or not this qualifies as a “horror movie,” which leads to one of (but not THE) our most disparate rating results in our show's history. I know you concerns yourselves with that sort of thing, and even read this at all.

Forty years ago before this film directed by Ted Kotcheff came out, star Sylvester Stallone was generally associated with the popular character of Rocky Balboa which was created by him six years prior.  Well all of that changed with the surprise success of this taut action thriller released in the fall of 1982  - this was the introduction to audiences of his OTHER beloved character, John Rambo.  Rambo is a veteran of the Vietnam War who is simply wandering into a small northwestern town when he starts to get harassed by the local Sheriff Teasle played by the late great Brian Dennehy.  And he's not only harassed but arrested....and some of the local police holding him in custody make matters worse, things start to get violent and he escapes.  What results is an action-packed cat-and-mouse game between Rambo and Teasle....and one of the most influential action films of the 1980's.Host: Geoff Gershon  Editors: Geoff and Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Pick up your Limited Edition copy on his Etsy Store at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/EvilGeniusArtworks  --- First Blood (also known as Rambo: First Blood) is a 1982 American action film directed by Ted Kotcheff, and co-written by Sylvester Stallone, who also stars as Vietnam War veteran John Rambo. It co-stars Richard Crenna as Rambo's mentor Sam Trautman and Brian Dennehy as Sheriff Will Teasle. It is the first installment in the Rambo franchise, followed by Rambo: First Blood Part II. The film is based on the 1972 novel First Blood by David Morrell, which many directors and studios had unsuccessfully attempted to adapt in the 1970s. In the film, Rambo is a troubled and misunderstood Vietnam veteran who must rely on his combat and survival skills when a series of brutal events results in him having to survive a massive manhunt by police and government troops near the fictional small town of Hope, Washington. First Blood was released in the United States on October 22, 1982. Initial reviews were mixed, but the film was a box office success, grossing $156 million at the box office. In 1985, it also became the first Hollywood blockbuster to be released in China, holding the record for the largest number of tickets sold for an American film until 2018. Since its release, it has been reappraised by critics, with many highlighting the roles of Stallone, Dennehy, and Crenna, and recognizing it as an influential film in the action genre. Its success spawned a franchise, consisting of four sequels (co-written by and starring Stallone), an animated television series, a comic books series, a novel series, several video games, and Indian remakes.

Episode 15 - 1982 was a sleeper year for cinema with some of the most groundbreaking and genre-defining films being released. Sylvester Stallone stars in FIRST BLOOD, the action film that not only broke the mould but with its 2 sequels that were also released in the 80s went a long way to establishing the 80s as the decade of the action film. There is no doubt that John J Rambo is one of two life-changing roles that created the superstar that is Sylvester Stallone. Some actors work a whole career to find one iconic character to embody and Sly had two and played them simultaneously for the next 37 years. The Born to Watch team put their spin on this classic movie and surprised even themselves with some of the revelations they came to. FIRST BLOOD is a gripping action thriller that doesn't stop for its whole 97 minutes of running time. An out-and-out blockbuster upon release, it would go on to take over $100 million dollars and spawn 4 sequels, but it's this movie that stands the test of time and is the benchmark for the franchise. Starring Sylvester Stallone as John Rambo, a Vietnam War veteran. The movie was directed by Ted Kotcheff and is based on the novel written by David Morrell, it also stars Richard Crenna (Trautman) and Brian Dennehy (Teasle).First Blood is an excellent movie that highlights the struggles of veterans returning from war. Rambo is a sympathetic character who is simply trying to survive but is forced to fight back when pushed too far. This was a fun episode for the team as they attack an old favourite of theirs.

Brush up on your two-up and watch out for them kangaroos (oh, God, the kangaroos!) because we're heading Down Under to discuss Ted Kotcheff's famed "lost film" Wake in Fright (1971)! Joining us are A Nightmare on Fierce Street co-hosts Sharai Bohannon and Trent Reese!First thing's first: this film has a 10-minute-long sequence featuring Cannibal Holocaust levels of real-life animal violence (it's the kangaroos), so major content warning for that. Consider yourself warned.Anyway, after a brief musical theatre tangent, we discuss the film's journey from novel to film to lost film to restored masterpiece before going all-in on its portrayal of masculinity. It all leads up to a discussion of a gay sex scene that, quite frankly, we were shocked to see!Plus, shirtless Donald Pleasence (nips o' plenty), one spicy hotel receptionist, a very serious conversation about Bloody Marys and (the ultimate question) is Janette a slut?
