Here we come a-wassailing and here's a new episode to warm you up! For only the second time in this podcast's history, three guests join Mark for a special discussion, and these guests are practically family! Mark's sisters from other misters - Sarah Menaquale, Kit Sheehan, and Melissa Ward - are here to celebrate the classic Louisa May Alcott story Little Women and its great 1994 film adaption from Gillian Armstrong for its 30th anniversary. They mourn the death of Beth, praise the Thomas Newman score, and will never forgive Amy for burning Jo's manuscript. Plus, they compare the 1994 vs. 2019 Greta Gerwig versions and ask which Laurie do you prefer: Christian Bale or Timothée Chalamet?

Your hosts were so emotionally devastated by this film 25 years ago that they haven't had the heart to venture back to it...until now. But this isn't just an episode on The Green Mile...it's a culmination of everything Filmshake has done this year...which means it's time for one more cell-rattling argument! But before your hosts can fight over anything, they have to discuss this episode's punishment film: the incredible, incredibly bad 1999 Mortal Kombat-inspired "techno-future" softcore and swords adaptation of Beowulf! It's two movies that will inspire two completely different uses of tissues...and it's only on Filmshake!Music Heard This Episode"The Green Mile" -- Thomas Newman"Circus Mouse" -- Thomas Newman"Coffey on the Mile" -- Thomas Newman"End Credits" -- Thomas Newman"Western Eyes" -- PortisheadIntro music - "If" by Broke For FreeConnect with us!PatreonTwitterFacebookEmailLinktr.eeLetterboxd - Nic & JordanThe Nicsperiment

Este año hace ya medio siglo que murió J. R. R. Tolkien (1892-1973), autor de "El Señor de los Anillos". Profesor de la universidad de Oxford, llevó a la fe a C. S. Lewis (1898-1963). Ambos comparten la experiencia de orfandad y trauma de la Primera Guerra Mundial, la fascinación por la mitología nórdica o los "cuentos de hadas", así como una visión conservadora de la vida y el cristianismo. En la obra de Tolkien vemos el poder del mal y la tentación que representa el anillo, así como la realidad sacrificada del amor. Sus historias no son parábolas, sino reflejos de la Gracia, destellos de la Luz divina. Se exaltan la nobleza y la integridad, la confianza y la fidelidad, a la vez que se transmite la esperanza de que los mansos y humildes de corazón heredarán la tierra. En este programa de radio, "Al Trasluz", escuchamos escenas de la película sobre "Tolkien" de 2019, su propia voz en una entrevista con la BBC y fragmentos del principio del libro de "El Hobbit", leídos por Eugenio Gómez, así como diálogos del comienzo de la trilogía de Peter Jackson sobre esta obra en 2012. Las canciones están inspiradas por el universo de Tolkien, como "Rivendell" (1975) del grupo canadiense de "rock progresivo" Rush y el tema que escribió la cantautora irlandesa Enya para la primera película de "El Señor de los Anillos" en 2001 (May It Be). La música de fondo es de las bandas sonoras de los films sobre "Tolkien" por Thomas Newman y "El Hobbit· por Howard Shore.

Have you ever watched a movie that left you with so many thoughts and emotions that you couldn't stop talking about it? Well, that's exactly what happened when we revisited the 1999 classic, American Beauty. It's a film that's smart, provocative, and a true high point of late 90s cinema. But, oh boy, does it stir up some debates! We dive deep into the complexities of suburban life, midlife crises, and the unforgettable performance by Kevin Spacey. Despite its brilliance, each of us had our reasons for docking it a mere 0.5 from a perfect score. Curious about what those were? We get into the nitty-gritty of character motivations, controversial themes, and even some personal anecdotes that made this film resonate on a whole different level. Whether you're a fan of Thomas Newman's haunting score, or you find yourself pondering the film's dark yet thought-provoking ending, there's something in this discussion for everyone. So press play, and join us as we explore why American Beauty is a film that continues to captivate and challenge audiences, even decades later.

Min 4: LOS ANILLOS DE PODER 2: BALANCE FINAL El desenlace de la segunda temporada de “The Rings of Power” no ha dejado a nadie indiferente. Los seguidores más fieles de la serie han vivido con emoción el capítulo “Sombra y llama” y la aparición de grandes leyendas del universo Tolkien como el Balrog. Una despedida de muchos quilates que contrasta con el malestar entre los más puristas por las licencias que la serie se ha tomado con respecto al material literario. Roberto Lancha y Raquel Hernández defienden los pros de la serie y Javier Marcos, miembro de la Sociedad Tolkien, desarrolla las principales pegas que los más puristas ponen al guión y a esta millonaria adaptación. Min 38: Cuando Carol encontró a Daryl - [ ] Pero no nos olvidamos de la novedad más atractiva que ha entrado en plataformas esta semana. El celebrado regreso de The Walking Dead y su salto a Europa vuelve con la segunda temporada de Daryl Dixon: El Libro de Carol Min 45: BSO para los hermanos Menéndez Y la rúbrica musical de esta semana tiene a los Newman y a la serie que se ha puesto número 1 en Netflix como grandes referencias. El gran Thomas Newman y su hija Julia se encargan de envolver la trama de “Monstruos: la historia de Lyle y Erik Menéndez” con la música hipnótica y desasosegante que pedía este atípico “true crime” que está dando tanto que hablar.

On today's program, I'm celebrating the 28th anniversary of CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO, which began on September 20th, 1996, at CHMR / C101.5 FM at Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario. The station is now called INDI 101. For all of our anniversary programs, and yes, some years I forget to do one, I try to create something new. Sometimes it's clever, and other times it's just a simple, dumb idea that's relatively simple to implement. This show is the latter. Since the show is now 28 years old, I've decided to base it on that number. So, you'll hear tracks that are either 28 seconds long, scores that are 28 years old, films with the number 28 in the title, the 28th track on the album, take place in 1928, or were written in 1928 featuring composers Mark Snow, John Murphy, Charlie Chaplin, Thomas Newman, Danny Elfman, Terence Blanchard, Joseph Conlon, Marc Sharman, David Arnold and Dominic Frontiere. Admittedly, this is silly, but it was quite enjoyable to put together. In any case, I hope you'll enjoy it. —— Special thanks to our Patreon supporters: Matt DeWater, David Ballantyne, Joe Wiles, Maxime, William Welch, Tim Burden, Alan Rogers, Dave Williams, Max Hamulyák, Jeffrey Graebner, Don Mase, Victor Field, Jochen Stolz, Emily Mason, Eric Skroch, Alexander Schiebel, Alphonse Brown, John Link, Andreas Wennmyr, Matt Berretta, Eldaly Morningstar, Jim Wilson, Glenn McDorman, Chris Malone, Steve Karpicz, Deniz Çağlar, Brent Osterberg, Jérôme Flick, Sarah Brouns, Aaron Collins, Randall Derchan, Angela Rabatin, Michael Poteet, Larry Reese, Thomas Tinneny, William Burke, Rudy Amaya, Stacy Livitsanis, Rick Laird, Carl Wonders, Nathan Blumenfeld, Lee Wileman, Daniel Herrin, Scott Bordelon, James Alexander, Brett French, Ian Clark —— Cinematic Sound Radio is fully licensed to play music by SOCAN.

Sentenced to life in the unforgiving confines of Shawshank, he is thrust into a world where the human spirit is tested daily.Andy's journey is one of quiet resilience and unyielding hope. He befriends Ellis “Red” Redding (Morgan Freeman), a seasoned inmate known for his ability to procure contraband. Through Red's eyes, we witness Andy's transformation from a man broken by circumstance to a beacon of hope for his fellow prisoners. Andy's ingenuity and determination lead him to uncover the corrupt practices of the prison warden, using his financial acumen to expose the rot within Shawshank's walls.In the end, Andy's journey is not just a tale of escape, but a testament to the enduring power of hope and friendship. His story delves into the depths of human suffering and emerges with a profound sense of resilience and triumph.Guest: Kieran BHost and Creator of the Best Picture Cast; @bestpicturecast on X, IG, LetterboxdPrevious Episodes: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1957), Lost in Translation (2003), Gran Torino (2008), Stalag 17 (1953), Shane (1953), A Fistful of Dollars (1964), The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) Revisit, and 12 Angry Men (1957) Revisit.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Guest Introductions03:59 Cast and Recognition for The Shawshank Redemption10:17 Relationship(s) to The Shawshank Redemption16:53 What is The Shawshank Redemption About?19:07 Why is The Shawshank Redemption so Universal?23:54 Is The Shawshank Redemption the Best Film of 1994?26:25 Plot Summary for The Shawshank Redemption28:19 Did You Know?29:49 First Break30:29 What's Up With the BPC?34:09 Ask...

It's one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear Filmshake, right? We're  just dancing with you, talking 1999's American Beauty, like a little kid, begging you to play with it. For two hours. This is the day you might realize that this entire movie might not be as good as you remember, and this incredibly benevolent force, i.e. Filmshake, wants you to know there is no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, we know, which is why you should listen to us instead. We help you remember the 90s...you need to remember...the 90s. Sometimes there's so much 90s in the world, we feel like we can't take it, and our heart is just going to cave in. Also, for a minute, we choke the bishop about our punishment movie, 1999's In Dreams. Quit chafing your carrot and listen.Music Heard this Episode: "Rebecca's Abduction" -- Elliot Goldenthal"Dead Already" -- Thomas Newman"American Beauty" -- Thomas Newman"Arose" -- Thomas Newman"Because" -- Elliott Smith (originally recorded by The Beatles)"Responsibility" -- MxPx"Rust" -- Echo and the BunnymenIntro music - "If" by Broke For FreeConnect with us!PatreonTwitterFacebookEmailLinktr.eeLetterboxd - Nic & JordanThe Nicsperiment

Only three songs were nominated for the Academy Award in 2008, the first time that had happened in 20 years. In this episode, we learn about the three songs, including two from prolific Bollywood composer A.R. Rahman that gave us some new sounds that had not been presented in Hollywood films. The other song gave Thomas Newman another chance to end his Oscar losing streak, thanks to his work on his second animated Pixar movie.

Min 4: THE NEW LOOK, la alta costura de Apple TV. Pocas semanas después del éxito en Disney Plus de “Balenciaga”, Apple TV lanza una producción de altos vuelos en la que también apuesta por la alta costura pero poniendo el foco en la figura de otro de los grandes de la moda: Christian Dior. Pese a un reparto de lujo encabezado por Ben Mendelsohn, Juliette Binoche, John Malkovich, Claed Bang o Glen Close, esta ambiciosa serie de diez episodios dirigida por Todd A. Kessler no ha acabado de convencer a nuestra experta de “Hobby Consolas” Raquel Hernández. Min 13: (P)Ícaro, el Pequeño Nicolás (Netflix) Fuera de todo glamour y en formato documental acaba de llegar a Netflix el esperado e irregular biopic de uno de los personajes más controvertidos de la historia reciente de España. El “Pequeño Nicolás”, carne de meme y de anécdotas a cual más inverosímil, ya tiene documental de tres episodios en el que se desvelan conversaciones con el propio protagonista y con personajes clave en su historia, como el comisario Villarejo. Min 23: FEUD 2: CAPOTE vs LOS CISNES (HBO Max) Pero la serie que nos ha cautivado esta semana tiene que ver con el regreso de la fórmula metacinematrográfica de Ryan Murphy que nos enamoró hace cinco años. Después de cautivarnos con la recreación de la enemistad visceral entre Joan Crawford y Bette Davis, Murphy resucita “Feud” fijándose en el icónico escritor Truman Capote y en su relación con los “cisnes” de su época, las féminas más influyentes y carismáticas del cine, la política y la alta sociedad que forjaron su leyenda y su caída. Con Raquel Hernández calibramos su calidad como serie y con Ángel Luque degustamos una exquisita banda sonora que se reserva el privilegio de haber visto trabajar juntos al gran Thomas Newman y a su hija Julia.

Min 5: EL FILTRO LUCHINI: "EL CORREO" El nervio de Daniel Calparsoro vuelve a las salas de cine con “El Correo”. El nuevo thriller del director de “Salto al vacío”, “Cien años de perdón” o la reciente “Todos los nombres de Dios”, conjuga la presencia de jóvenes talentos como Arón Piper o María Pedraza y la de veteranos como Luis Tosar o Luis Zahera. División de opiniones la que provoca “El Correo” en nuestro Filtro Luchini, donde el juego de contrastes en el criterio de nuestros críticos se hará especialmente visible. ¿Quién será el poli bueno? Min 14: CUALQUIERA MENOS TÚ El gran rival del cine español en la cartelera llega en clave de comedia americana y con una impecable nómina de actores y actrices que parecen sacados de un catálogo de modelos. “Cualquiera menos tú” amenaza con convertirse en el pelotazo taquillero de la semana por su tirón entre los jóvenes. Amores fugaces, flechazos inevitables, atracciones tóxicas, amistades peligrosas, infidelidad, celos, apariencias…La comedia de Will Gluck ofrece lo que promete y de ahí la comprensión y el veredicto benévolo de nuestros filtradores. Min 18: ¡FELICES 50! Pero atención a la variante francesa que llega para arrancar la sonrisa a un público con más mochila emocional. Eric Lavaine dirige “¡Felices 50”!, en la que la celebración del medio siglo de vida de su protagonista se convierte en la excusa perfecta para demostrarnos que lo que más gracia le puede hacer a Dios es que le contemos nuestros planes. De Grecia a Bretaña…todo les sale al revés a los burgueses cincuentones de esta comedia resultona que se cuela por derecho propio en salas comerciales. Min 22: CUANDO ACECHA LA MALDAD La película de terror que salió victoriosa en el último en último Festival de Sitges está salpicada de paradojas y no es apta para todos los estómagos. Raquel Hernández estuvo allí y reconoce que nunca la habría votado como mejor película, aunque reconoce que es una propuesta sugestiva y envolvente que incumple sus propias reglas de del juego. “Empezando –argumenta- porque no es una película de terror”. Min 27: LA ZONA DE INTERÉS Y dejamos la mejor propuesta para el final. En nuestro capítulo anterior, Alberto Luchini nos adelantaba que la película de la semana sería sin duda “La zona de interés”. Con producción británica, la película de Jonatan Glazer, sin apenas diálogos, remueve al espectador desde la aparente sencillez y meticulosidad vital de una familia burguesa alemana que normaliza el horror de lo que ocurre al otro lado de su jardín. Glazer nos mete en la cocina del comandante nazi Rudolf Höss y nos descoloca con una ducha escocesa que solo tiene una pega: no será fácil que la encontréis en salas comerciales pese a la recomendación y la puntuación de Alberto Luchini. Min 33: BSO 30 AÑOS DE CADENA PERPETUA Hace justo tres décadas, en 1994, llegaba a los cines la poderosa adaptación de una novela de Stephen King sobre un tipo condenado a una doble cadena perpetua por asesinar presuntamente a su mujer y a su amante. En España, la película dirigida por un bendecido Frank Darabont, se tituló “Cadena Perpetua”. No fue un éxito de taquilla, pero sumó varias nominaciones a los Óscar y, a fuego lento, se fue convirtiendo en una de las películas favoritas de millones de espectadores. “Shawshank Redemption” ha envejecido aún mejor que un buen vino y se lo debe en buena parte a la calidad de la todavía mal ponderada banda sonora que luce en sus más de dos horas de duración. Este es nuestro sincero homenaje a una película imborrable y a la no menos memorable creación musical de un Thomas Newman para el que seguimos pidiendo un Oscar tan grande como su talento.

"The Shawshank Redemption," directed by Frank Darabont and released in 1994, is a cinematic masterpiece that has stood the test of time. Based on Stephen King's novella "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption," the film navigates the life of Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), wrongfully convicted for the murder of his wife and her lover."The Shawshank Redemption" excels in storytelling, weaving a poignant tale of hope, friendship, and redemption. Andy's journey, marked by resilience and intelligence, is a compelling narrative backbone. The film's pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the Shawshank State Penitentiary's oppressive environment. Darabont's screenplay, adapted from King's novella, is a fine example of narrative adaptation, retaining the source material's essence while adding cinematic depth.The storytelling is enhanced by the narration of Ellis "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman), whose perspective provides depth and emotional resonance. The narrative elegantly explores themes of institutionalization, corruption, and the human spirit's indomitability. The plot's twists, particularly Andy's meticulously planned escape, are executed with precision, leaving a lasting impact.Tim Robbins delivers a nuanced performance as Andy, capturing his stoicism, intelligence, and hidden emotional turmoil. Andy's transformation from a despairing prisoner to a symbol of hope is portrayed with subtlety and depth. Robbins' chemistry with Morgan Freeman, who plays Red, is a highlight. Freeman's portrayal of Red — a man hardened by the realities of prison life yet profoundly impacted by Andy's friendship — is exceptional. His voiceover adds a lyrical quality to the film, enhancing its storytelling.The supporting cast, including Bob Gunton as Warden Norton and Clancy Brown as Captain Hadley, provide formidable antagonistic forces, embodying the corrupting influence of the prison system. Their performances add layers to the film's exploration of power and moral decay.The film's exploration of hope as an unassailable human spirit's element is its most powerful theme. Andy's unwavering hope, despite the injustices he faces, inspires not only his fellow inmates but also the audience. The film also delves into the concept of freedom — both physical and psychological. It portrays how institutionalisation can erode individual identity, a theme poignantly captured in Brooks Hatlen's (James Whitmore) storyline.Roger Deakins' cinematography is stellar, capturing the bleakness of prison life juxtaposed with moments of transcendent beauty, like the iconic rooftop beer scene. The film's score, composed by Thomas Newman, is hauntingly beautiful, adding emotional depth to the narrative. The production design meticulously recreates the prison setting, contributing to the film's immersive experience."The Shawshank Redemption" is not just a film about a prison break; it is a profound exploration of the human condition. Its enduring appeal lies in its universal themes of hope, friendship, and the pursuit of freedom. Darabont's direction, coupled with outstanding performances and technical artistry, cements this film as a timeless classic. It resonates deeply with audiences, reminding us of the power of hope and the resilience of the human spirit.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

Host Jon Burlingame sits down with Thomas Newman, the iconic composer whose latest work can be heard in Pixar's new film Elemental. They talk about how Newman went about creating music and introducing vocal elements for the imaginary world of the film, as well as reveal the helpful advice Thomas' cousin, the legendary Randy Newman, once gave him. 

Thomas Newman is a highly accomplished sports performance expert with over a decade of experience in the industry. He has a proven track record of optimizing athlete development and achieving winning results on the field. Newman's expertise and leadership skills were honed during his tenure as Director of Student Performance and Innovation at Yale University, where he oversaw all varsity teams and successfully created the first-ever partnerships with the School of Engineering, Medicine, and Public Health. As a result of these collaborations, a comprehensive custom-built digital player profiling platform was created for all 32 varsity teams, which was instrumental in achieving tremendous on-field success. At the time of this recording, Thomas was working for Hawkins Dynamics, an industry leader using force plate technology to assess human movement and optimize it to the fullest.Force plates are tools used for the measurement of ground reaction forces during walking, jumping, or any other type of movement - they can be thought of as "fancy bathroom scales" as coined by Dr. Jason Lake, world leading biomechanist.Not only are force plates extremely effective in creating winning professional teams (like Thomas has done), but Thomas is also using force plates to help augment the human performance of tactical teams and even law enforcement. We get into this technology and how agencies or users could benefit to not only create winning teams, tease out what takes an athlete from good to great, and how to build a more resilient operator that is less prone to injury and more durable in the long run. We also talk about Thomas' huge health scare, recovering from a brain tumor, how he triumphed, and his foundation, 40 Staples Strong  (https://40staplesstrong.com/) is making a difference from others suffering from this terrible condition.

Our last movie for the series is so good, we just don't have much to say about it. Get a story about two strong Southern women, wrap it in a beautiful plot about a pushover finally finding her own strength in the world, and give the bow of Jessica Tandy being the best storyteller ever. That's all you need for this beautiful story about friendship, love, and the South. The cast is incredible, the writing is impeccable, and the directing is…well, it's exactly what it needs to be. In fact, the only problem is the fact that this movie wasn't able to get to the deeper romance between its two leads - and even then, it's still pretty romantic.

This week we're back with another appearance from one of the show's most polarizing figures, but this time, she's not the issue. No, Barbra actually brings some nuance and care to this movie, but the problem is the actual movie itself, or rather, the novel it's based on. There's a whole lot that has to be unpacked in this story, and much of it more thoughtfully and carefully than anyone involved really had time for. It's not hard to see why this movie was a hit, for sure, but Barbra's wearing too many hats, and even an all-time great performance from Nick Nolte can't save this movie from sinking under the weight of all its trauma voyeurism and horrible ethics.
