Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars and not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between. Today, in a revisited episode, we explore the career of a B-Side prince: Matt Damon. From his Oscar-laden breakout film Good Will Hunting to the upcoming Ford v Ferrari, the Boston-born filmmaker has made many hit movies, and twice as many that were underseen. And don't get us started on all of the cameos! Our Damon-focused episode explores Gerry, The Brothers Grimm, Hereafter and The Great Wall. We discuss the career of Terry Gilliam and his many troubles making Grimm. We dive into the tragic inspiration behind Gerry as well as Gus Van Sant and Matt Damon's desire to experiment with long camera shots. We gauge how accurate podcast producer Conor O'Donnell's review of The Great Wall was from a couple of years back.
This week in the Screening Room, Zeth is breaking down Terry Gilliam’s 1991 film The Fisher King, starring Robin Williams, Jeff Bridges, Mercedes Ruehl, and Amanda Plummer. Plus we make a mixtape inspired by the film with songs by Simon & Garfunkel, The Smiths, Queens of the Stone Age, and more.

This month we've been exploring movies that have been stuck in development Hell and this week's movie had SUCH a hard time getting made that they made a DOCUMENTARY about how disastrous it was…then 20 years later- they MADE that movie. Was it worth the wait? Today we review The Man Who Killed Don Quixote directed by Terry Gilliam.

Somehow Joel, Kent & Zack were hired as temps at a parole board hearing. However, this is a symbolic cinematic prison for filmmakers who have been put in director's jail for one reason or another. Therefore, on this episode of Baconsale, we'll be examining the filmography of once-popular directors like Tom Hooper, Cameron Crowe, Patty Jenkins, Joss Whedon, J.J. Abrams, Nancy Meyers, and Terry Gilliam. After reviewing their cases, we'll decide if they deserve to stay in director's jail, should be allowed out on probation, or should be released to make movies freely again. Should someone's reputation be ruined because of one garbage (grabage?) movie? Can a movie be iconic but not good? Does the age of a director matter? Listen to find out. Press play to get stamp happy!
Aujourd'hui, dans « Le journal imprévisible », Marc Bourreau consacre sa chronique à 1984, l'œuvre emblématique de George Orwell. Elle connaît un regain d'intérêt en librairie avec des ventes qui ne cessent d'augmenter, preuve que cette œuvre de science-fiction continue d'être d'une grande pertinence.Le livre décrit un super-État totalitaire, Océania, et ses trois slogans emblématiques : « La guerre, c'est la paix », « L'ignorance, c'est la force » et « La liberté, c'est l'esclavage ». Le personnage principal, Winston Smith, est un fonctionnaire révolté du ministère de la Vérité, confronté à l'autocensure et à la novlangue, un nouveau langage censé simplifier les messages. 1984 a inspiré de nombreuses œuvres de fiction, comme le film Brazil de Terry Gilliam ou la publicité d'Apple pour le Macintosh, présenté comme un outil de résistance à la pensée unique. Le concept de « Big Brother », le leader suprême du parti totalitaire, est devenu une référence dans la culture populaire, notamment avec l'émission de télé-réalité du même nom.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Is the future already written, or are we just trapped in one seriously confusing time loop? This week, Don, Jon, and Ken travel back to 1995 to review Terry Gilliam's mind-bending sci-fi thriller, 12 Monkeys. The guys break down Gilliam's unmistakable visual style, the film's unusual production history, and a cast led by Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe, and a wildly unpredictable Brad Pitt. They untangle the movie's twisting timeline, debate theories about fate, causality, memory, and whether anything James Cole does can actually change the future. Along the way, they praise Willis's grounded and vulnerable performance, marvel at Pitt's scene-stealing energy, and try to determine what the Army of the 12 Monkeys is really up to. So get ready to question reality and join us for a trip through 12 Monkeys.

After some much-needed psychic rehabilitation, the whole crew is back together, and like Lindsay and the other Chums reuniting, we're diving in deep straight off the bat.

PENDENTE: Rubrica su Cinema, letteratura, fumetto ed esperienze culturali
Invertiamo la rotta ed eccoci quindi con una rubrica in cui voglio esprimere opinioni riguardo film o serie tv che spesso vengono poco considerate ma che, per un motivo o l'altro, a me invece piacciono.In un'epoca di continuo riciclaggio, la televisione americana non ha fatto di spolpare l'immaginario colletivo degli anni '80 e stavolta tocca al povero Terry Gilliam e al suo "I Banditi del Tempo".Eppure il "Time Bandits" di Apple Tv forse avrebbe meritato più fortuna come prodotto fantasioso e divertente, destinato alle famiglie.
On this episode we look back at 1995's dark fantasy film The City of Lost Children starring Ron Perlman.https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-city-of-lost-children--72641406We also discuss recent movies #mastersoftheuniverse #disclosureday and #thefuriousAn international co-production of companies from France, Germany, and Spain, 1995's The City of Lost Children was the second film directed by Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Their previous film Delicatessen, released in 1991, was described as a zany post-apocalyptic black comedy in the style of Terry Gilliam. Based on the success of both Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children, Jeunet would go on to direct 1997's Alien Resurrection and 2001's award winning romantic comedy Amelie.The City of Lost Children not only got its own Playstation game, but would also become a huge inspiration for both the Fallout and Bioshock video game franchises.Fallout designer Tim Cain listed the film among the cinematic influences on the game's art direction, and later said that elements of Fallout's power armor and technology aesthetic drew from the film's helmet eyepieces, tubing, and vents.This movie is also inspired the visual design of the video game BioShock (2007). From the scene of the man in scuba gear carrying a child to the parts where she climbs and descends from the pipes look like they came straight out of the underwater city of Rapture.
This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes tackle "Time Bandits", Terry Gilliam's beloved fantasy adventure and one of the most celebrated cult films of the 1980s.Unfortunately, this is another Gilliam film that just doesn't quite connect with either of them.Both Butler and Field came into the movie wanting to like it. Butler is a big fan of "Brazil", and Field enjoys that film as well, but much like their experience with "12 Monkeys", they find themselves on the outside looking in when it comes to another highly regarded Gilliam classic.The Mikes discuss whether part of their disconnect comes from discovering the film nearly fifty years after its release. While both enjoy plenty of quirky, imaginative films from the era, they struggle with the episodic structure here. The various historical vignettes never quite come together into a satisfying whole, and the bandits themselves feel underdeveloped. Aside from Randall, the group often blends together into what feels like a single character, making it difficult to become invested in their journey.That is not to say the film is without merit. Some of the practical effects remain impressive, several jokes land well, and Gilliam's imagination is on full display throughout. Ultimately, though, Butler and Field find themselves wanting a stronger narrative thread to tie everything together.As self-described plot-focused viewers, the Mikes wonder if "Time Bandits" is simply one of those movies that speaks to a different audience. They respect its legacy and understand why it has endured, even if this particular adventure was not for them.What are they missing from Time Bandits that connect with you?

This week - we're falling through holes in the universe and landing in Time Bandits, Terry Gilliam's visually cacophonous 1981 adventure about a small boy careening through time with a band of thieves pursued by God and evil itself. There's… a lot going on. It's possible that Time Bandits features the best backstory to a heist ever conceived (a band of God's minor manufacturers are sent to the repairs department for creating a very unusual tree, and use the map of all the holes in the universe ("it was a rush job, seven days...") to steal things instead of fixing the fabric of... everything. It's for absolute certain that it's another slightly-too-scary-for-kids-but-actually-great-as-an-adult adventure, and another glimpse into what Sean Connery was up to after that whole Bond deal.

In this episode we set the Elevator of History back to 1835 where we witness the ;'penny paperss' papers sold for one cent instead of six that featured stories people WANTED to read, rather than news by and for a political party. These papers brought us separate sections on news, finance, sports and featured on the scene reporting and lurid true crime details. But it was the New York Sun that launched into a six day report of what a famous mathematician, chemist and learned individual was looking at the moon through a legendary telescope and reporting the discovery of the most amazing things including: albino moon-bison, miniature zebras, one horned goats, unicorns and the fascinating bat people of the moon who dwelt in massive temples carved from giant rubies. The public was fascinated by this series of articles until the report, six days later that the telescope had caught a stray sunbeam, magnified it's intensity and set the observatory alight causing it to burn to the ground. In the days and weeks that followed it slowly came out that none of this was true, however, the Sun never printed a retraction and their readership had grown significantly despite the scandal, most new readers stayed. We discuss all this, the Blue Fugates, touch on Orson Welles War of the Worlds and discuss Terry Gilliam's the Adventures of Baron Munchausen in this it can't get weirder than this episode of the Family Plot Podcast!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.
Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. With April Fool's Day this week, we're tickling our funny bones and covering classic comedies (pre-1990) this week. On today's episode, Mirandia Berthold is reviewing “Monty Python And The Holy Grail” from 1975 starring Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam & Terry Jones.
Andy Walsh and Evan Garcia dive deep into the mind-bending world of "12 Monkeys," exploring the intricate themes of time travel and causality in this classic flick. Right out of the gate, they tackle the core idea that the future is a wild card, and sometimes we're just along for the ride, caught in loops of our own making. It's not just about the science fiction elements; they get into the psychological toll of time travel on Bruce Willis's character as he grapples with the weight of his mission. Evan, who's watching the film for the first time, shares his fresh takes and how it felt like a foreign film, while Andy chimes in with insights about its complex narrative structure and its connections to their larger theme of “Faces Behind Us.” With a mix of witty banter and thoughtful analysis, they unravel the layers of this film and ponder whether our choices really shape the future or if we're merely puppets in a grand design. Andy and Evan take listeners on a wild ride through the twisted timeline of '12 Monkeys', a film that blends dystopian themes with psychological depth. Their conversation is both casual and insightful, filled with witty remarks and a relaxed tone that invites listeners to join in on the fun. From personal anecdotes about their first encounters with the film to an in-depth analysis of its narrative structure, the duo covers a lot of ground. Evan, having only just seen the film for the first time, shares his surprise at how its themes resonate with today's world, especially regarding the ongoing conversations about pandemics and mental health. His initial thoughts are refreshing, as he notes the film's foreign film vibes and the way Gilliam crafts a story that feels both timeless and timely. As they dissect the film's plot, Andy and Evan explore how it reflects on the human psyche, particularly the implications of time travel on mental health. They delve into the protagonist's struggles, discussing how the narrative intertwines his personal journey with larger societal issues. The concept of 'Faces Behind Us' serves as a thematic backbone in their analysis, as they consider how the main character's identity is shaped by his past and the choices he makes—or fails to make—along the way. Their light-hearted banter makes complex themes accessible, inviting listeners to think critically about the film's messages while also enjoying the ride. The conversation takes a fascinating turn as they contemplate the ethical dimensions of the film, particularly regarding the experiments conducted on marginalized individuals. Andy raises important questions about the morality of using prisoners for time travel experiments, prompting a deeper discussion about the societal implications of such actions. Their exploration culminates in a thought-provoking analysis of the film's ending, where they grapple with themes of fate and free will. Evan expresses his confusion about the film's message, while Andy suggests that it leans toward a more hopeful interpretation of the future. Their engaging dialogue leaves listeners eager to reflect on the film long after the episode ends, making this a standout addition to the Spring bonus series.Takeaways:In discussing 12 Monkeys, Andy and Evan dive into the themes of time travel and the complex nature of causality, showing how actions in the past can influence the future in unexpected ways.Evan shares that watching 12 Monkeys for the first time felt like experiencing a foreign film, highlighting the unique storytelling style of Terry Gilliam that often leaves viewers questioning reality.The podcast emphasizes the mental health aspect of the film, illustrating how the pressures of time travel and saving the world can affect one's psyche and perception of reality.Andy and Evan explore the ethical dilemmas presented in 12 Monkeys, particularly the moral implications of experimenting on marginalized groups in the name of science and societal betterment.The conversation reveals how the film reflects contemporary concerns about pandemics and societal collapse, drawing parallels to modern issues that resonate with viewers today.In the end, they ponder whether the film suggests that the future is predetermined or if we can indeed change our paths, sparking a deeper discussion about choice and destiny..Be sure to check out our merch, find extra content, and become an official member of Systematic Geekology on our website:https://systematic-geekology-shop.fourthwall.com/.Check out all of our 'On Loop' series now:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/9e240d3d-6e05-46bc-870b-400afea1cb11.Check out other episodes with Evan:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/db75189a-04f3-4129-9a5d-ade41cf863b5.Don't miss any of Andy's episodes:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/c86f7a67-357b-4324-bf95-e42cedb9932aMentioned in this episode:Become a member of Systematic Geekology on our Website!Check out the link to become a member of Systematic Geekology!

¿Qué tienen de común Back to the future, que relata las aventuras de Marty McFly; con la mítica Rocky guionada por Sylvester Stallone; o la frenética Brazil, dirigida por Terry Gilliam? Que además de ser películas icónicas, hablan de telecomunicaciones. ¿Hablan de telecomunicaciones? Si, claro. Rafa Junquera, el director Editorial de Telesemana.com, acaba de publicar el primer libro que evidencia ese cruce y que demuestra que el cine también ofrece ejemplos para entender cómo se transformó la industria y cómo se perfilan sus perspectivas a futuro. En este viernes de pelis y podcast nos concentraremos en los planos y los cortes de cinta, las metáforas y las enseñanzas que el cine nos legó.

We are Back! Nearly a year and a half hiatus didn't stop us wanting to talk about our favorite movies. This 2-Part series, Adam leads the gang through the films of Terry Gilliam. This Episode, we discuss the 1995 Time-Travelling remake, 12 Monkeys. Starring Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt.
James Cameron-Wilson reports that box office is down 32%, though Wuthering Heights is still #1. #6 is the unnerving but funny horror Cold Storage. Witty, in the mould of Tremors, this gruesome tale of a deadly fungus has all the makings of a cult classic, managing the tricky balance between gross-out horror and laugh-out-loud comedy. At #10 is Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, a sci-fi twist on Groundhog Day with Sam Rockwell a traveller from the future trying to prevent the AI apocalypse. A satirical shaggy dog epic in the manner of Terry Gilliam, it is very funny and chilling at the same time. James admired the Netflix documentary The Perfect Neighbour. Largely taken from police bodycam footage, it is about a neighbourhood tragedy in Florida. Although it is widely tipped for an Oscar, he is not sure of its merits as a watchable movie.

“There is no British security without Europe,” Keir Starmer told the Munich Security Conference this weekend. Nobody wants a wider war in Europe, but we might get one anyway – and Britain's military isn't ready for it yet. So how can we change our armed forces and our wider society to ensure that Putin won't want to risk a conflict with Britain and our allies? Ed Arnold of the Royal United Services Institute joins Ros Taylor and Raf Behr to talk about how Russia uses hybrid “grey zone” attacks on democracies which stop just short of open warfare… the sobering truth about NATO Article 5… and why we have to budget for the next threat but one, because “What comes after Putin may be worse.” ESCAPE ROUTES • Raf rewatched Terry Gilliam's Brazil. • Ed has been enjoying England in the Six Nations rugby. • Ros recommends the comedy drama about stand-up comedy, Is This Thing On? , out now in cinemas. www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Ros Taylor and Rafael Behr.

In this episode of the show we are exploring the maximalist dystopia directed by Terry Gilliam, Brazil. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us carefully retrace the complicated history of how Brazil came together, how it was a nightmare to release in the US and how it became a cult classic despite meddling from studio moguls. We also talk about Gilliam's signature kitchen sink approach to visual storytelling as we try to wrap our heads around the many nuances and facets of the narrative. We wonder if Sam Lowry is more of a Josef K. or a Winston Smith character, pontificate over the question if the movie has a happy ending after all and much more!Tune in and enjoy!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: Ian SchultzHead over to uncutgemspodcast.com to find all of our archival episodes and more!Follow us on Twitter (@UncutGemsPod), IG (@UncutGemsPod) and Facebook (@UncutGemsPod)Buy us a coffee over at Ko-Fi.com (ko-fi.com/uncutgemspod)Subscribe to our Patreon!

Paul and Amy take on Brazil, Terry Gilliam's surreal warning about authoritarianism, paperwork, and the cost of losing one's imagination. They trace the film's roots in Gilliam's own experiences, his battles with studio power, and the creative compromises that nearly reshaped it to examine why Brazil remains one of cinema's most enduring dystopias.

He made his name with the 1975 Trevor Griffiths play Comedians, his role as a stand-up comic winning him a Tony Award after it moved to Broadway. He won an Olivier Award for a landmark production of Hamlet in 1980, and another Tony for his role as The Engineer in Miss Saigon. His huge and diverse list of film credits include Terry Gilliam's 1985 dystopian drama Brazil, the musical Evita alongside Madonna and, an Oscar nominated performance as Pope Francis in The Two Popes.

In this episode of Haunted History Chronicles, I'm joined by writer, folklorist and broadcaster Deborah Hyde to explore one of medieval Britain's most haunting and enduring mysteries: the Green Children of Woolpit. Emerging from a pit on the edge of a Suffolk village in the 12th century, these strange children — with green-tinged skin and a language no one recognised — left behind a story that has lingered for centuries.Drawing on medieval chronicles, folklore traditions and historical context, Deborah carefully examines what may lie behind the tale. Were the Green Children misunderstood migrants, symbolic folklore, or something far stranger? Together, we explore how belief, fear and storytelling shape the way such accounts are recorded, remembered and retold.With her characteristic wit and academic rigour, Deborah guides us through the shifting interpretations of this luminous legend, revealing why the Green Children of Woolpit continue to trouble the boundary between history and the uncanny.My Special Guest Deborah Hyde Deborah Hyde wants to know why people believe weird things.She writes and talks about dark folklore and is one of the regular experts on the popular BBC podcast 'Uncanny'.She was editor of 'The Skeptic' magazine for ten years, was involved with 'Skeptics in the Pub' for several years and is a fellow of The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry.She has been asked to contribute commentary to such cases as the Enfield Poltergeist, the Hull Werewolf and Borley Rectory.She also once accidentally played a five hundred year-old queen in a Terry Gilliam movie.In this conversation, expect insights into: The medieval sources and folklore behind the mystery of the Green ChildrenPossible historical, cultural and psychological explanations for the taleWhy stories like this endure — and what they reveal about belief and the unknownIf you value this podcast and want to enjoy more episodes please come and find us on https://www.patreon.com/Haunted_History_Chronicles to support the podcast, gain a wealth of additional exclusive podcasts, writing and other content.Links to all Haunted History Chronicles Social Media Pages, Published Materials and more: https://linktr.ee/hauntedhistorychronicles?fbclid=IwAR15rJF2m9nJ0HTXm27HZ3QQ2Llz46E0UpdWv-zePVn9Oj9Q8rdYaZsR74INEWPodcast Shop: https://www.teepublic.com/user/haunted-history-chroniclesBuy Me A Coffee https://ko-fi.com/hauntedhistorychronicles Guest Links Website: https://deborahhyde.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@deborahhydefolklore Twitter: https://x.com/jourdemayne Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deborahhydefolklore/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DeborahHydeFolklore/ BlueSky: https://DeborahHyde.bsky.app/
In this holiday edition of Look Behind the Look, we unwrap the layers of Terry Gilliam's 1985 film Brazil, a retro futurist fever dream that cleverly disguises its incisive critique of bureaucracy and authoritarianism as a Christmas movie. Join us as we explore the film's rich aesthetics, from its elaborate production design to the campy hair and makeup, revealing how these visuals reflect the emotional machinery of a society struggling under the weight of conformity and denial.

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes tackle "12 Monkeys", this season's Audience Choice episode and a film that, despite its reputation, just doesn't click for either of them.Mike Butler went in hoping his opinion might change this time around. As a big fan of "Brazil", he wanted to connect with Terry Gilliam's mix of sci-fi and absurdism. Unfortunately, his feelings haven't shifted since first seeing it decades ago. Both Mike Field and Butler find the performances from Bruce Willis and especially Brad Pitt pushed too far into manic territory, making it hard to buy into the story.They also struggle with the central relationships and logic of the film. The idea that the doctor would go along with Willis at all, let alone develop romantic feelings for him, feels completely unbelievable. Tonally, the movie seems stuck between wanting to be a serious science fiction story and an absurdist Gilliam nightmare, and it never settles on what it actually wants to be.While they do appreciate the production design, props, and costumes used for the future sequences, the rest of the film falls flat for them. Still, with "12 Monkeys" being so well regarded by many, the Mikes openly acknowledge that this might be one of those "it's me, not you" moments.

Legendary auteur Terry Gilliam (Brazil, Time Bandits, The Fisher King, Monty Python & the Holy Grail) directs this time-bending sci-fi thriller focusing on one man's unique journey to the past to save the future. That man is James Cole (Bruce Willis) who is currently living in a dystopian 2035 so ravaged by disease that no humans can actually live on the surface of the Earth so he has been tasked by scientists to travel back to the 1990's in Philadelphia to pinpoint the very beginning of a fatal virus which would eventually spread and wipe out most of the Earth's population. As would be expected, several complications occur along the way including being commited to a mental facility where he meets the mad son (Brad Pitt who received an Oscar nomination for his performance) of a reknowned virologist (Christopher Plummer). And he also encounters a therapist (Madeline Stowe) who initially believes him to be crazy though they build a unique relationshiop over time. Co-written by David Webb Peoples (the Oscar-nominated writer of Unforgiven and Blade Runner), this dizzying tale takes features several dizzying turns carried by sterling performances.

This week, Shat The Movies tumbles through the space-time continuum with Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits, a chaotic fantasy adventure filled with Monty Python humor, mischievous dwarves, and a cosmic battle between Good, Evil, and negligent parenting. Commissioned by listener Mark, this 1981 classic follows young Kevin as he's swept away by a crew of dimension-hopping bandits who've stolen a map of the universe and are using it to rob history blind—Napoleon, Robin Hood, and ancient kings all included. Gene and Big D debate whether the film is a brilliant kids' movie for adults or an unsettling fever dream wrapped in British absurdism. Along the way, they revisit the unforgettable Evil Genius, the Supreme Being's bureaucratic disappointment, and the ending that scarred an entire generation of children. Is Time Bandits a masterpiece of imagination or just Gilliam letting chaos do the directing? Grab your map, avoid the pure concentrated evil, and find out.

Als "sechster Monty Python" stand Terry Gilliam (geboren am 22.11.1940) selten vor der Kamera - er schuf die markanten Animationen. Berühmt wurde er mit Filmen wie "Brazil" und "12 Monkeys". Von Daniela Wakonigg.
