This week, I got to talk with L.S. Stratton about her newest thriller In Deadly Company! We dive into how she wanted to write a fun, bingey thriller, how she used the meta approach of a movie being made about the past timeline, and how she crafted the very corrupt, very welathy family in the middle of it all.In Deadly Company SynopsisAs the assistant of the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, Nicole Underwood has plenty of tasks on her to-do list—one of which is the blowout birthday celebration for her nightmare, one-percenter boss, Xander Chambers. But when the party ends in chaos and murder and Nicole is one of the survivors, suspicion—from the investigators to the media—lands on her. Was she the reason for all the bloodshed?A year after those deadly events, Nicole tries to set the public record straight by agreeing to consult on a feature film based on her story. However, on the set in LA, she's sidelined by inappropriate casting and persistent, bizarre script changes, while also haunted by the events of that party weekend with visions of her now-deceased boss. It seems clearing her name isn't so simple when the question of guilt or innocence is...complicated.

In this episode, I'll be applying diagnostic criteria to two fictional characters: Sherlock Holmes (played by various actors) and Charlie (from the film, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, played by Logan Lerman). As I journey through these characters' stories, you may see some related themes in your own life. At first, the episode will be a little…technical (with loads of medical jargon). But, stick with me. You might learn something about yourself. And, it may surprise you to learn about my view of diagnostic criteria…SPOILER ALERT for anyone who has not seen these characters portrayed in media (as I will be discussing specific moments). Also, my utilization of these films and characters is not an endorsement of their content nor their themes.

THE SWIMMER (1968) We dive deep in to The Swimmer and discuss and analyze, maybe just a little bit the glorious film directed by Frank Perry, based on a screenplay by Eleanor Perry, from the 12 page short story by John Cheever. "Well-off ad man Ned Merrill (Burt Lancaster) is visiting a friend when he notices the abundance of backyard pools that populate their upscale suburb. Ned suddenly decides that he'd like to travel the eight miles back to his own home by simply swimming across every pool in town."If you're reading this I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

This time we get to tackle 4 Rebecca De Mornay slashers/psycho thrillers: *The Hand That Rocks the Cradle *Table for One *Identity *Mother's Day (2010)   Which of these stands out the most?   Which of these is sadly underrated?   Plus, Oreo & I joke how we're so glad we're not at any creepy places as depicted in these movies!

"The Thursday Murder Club" ist ein Netflix-Film, bei dem man sich sofort zu Hause fühlt. Schon nach wenigen Minuten entfaltet sich diese besondere britische Mischung aus Witz, Wärme und einem Hauch Melancholie, die einen durch den Abend trägt. Das Setting, eine elegante Seniorenresidenz in Kent, wirkt wie eine kleine Insel der Ruhe, und doch vibriert darunter das Leben voller Geheimnisse, Erinnerungen und Vitalität.Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley und Celia Imrie spielen mit einer Lust und Selbstverständlichkeit, die sofort überspringt. Jeder Satz, jeder Blick ist geschliffen und nie gekünstelt. Man merkt, dass diese Schauspielerinnen und Schauspieler ihre Rollen genießen, und das übt einen besonderen Reiz aus.Die Geschichte hat nicht das Tempo eines Thrillers, sondern den Rhythmus einer guten Tasse Tee am Nachmittag. Gerade diese Entschleunigung fesselt. Man fühlt sich, als säße man selbst im Klub, rätselte mit und lachte über die Absurditäten des Lebens.Besonders schön ist der Blick auf das Alter. Hier stehen Klugheit, Witz und jugendlicher Eigensinn im Mittelpunkt. Es ist ein liebevoller Gegenentwurf zu Geschichten, die ältere Menschen an den Rand drängen. In diesem Film sind sie die Helden.Dazu kommt eine Atmosphäre, die man beinahe riechen und fühlen kann. Gepflegte Rasenflächen, knarzende Dielen und stille Abende im Gemeinschaftsraum. Alles wird so warm erzählt, dass man am Ende gar nicht mehr weiß, ob man einen Kriminalfilm gesehen hat oder eine Ode an das Leben, das niemals stillsteht.

Welcome to a bonus episode of the Cops and Writers Podcast! This is something I will throw out there to you all once in a while. Today’s bonus episode will be a part of my author spotlight series, where I focus on the author side of the business to see what is working for them and what makes them tick as successful authors. So, as you can guess, today’s episode is for the authors out there who are looking to start, level up, or might need a tad bit of inspiration to keep going. Or, if you aren’t an author, maybe you are just curious to see how all of this book writing stuff actually works. Either way, I think the content is valuable, and we, of course, will have some fun as well. For today’s show, I have brought on three very successful authors who write crime thrillers with K9s as an integral part of their stories. Let’s meet our authors. Jodi Burnette is a bestselling self-published author who has published over 23 books. Before she was an author, she was busy raising four kids and pursuing other businesses. After the kids left the nest, she felt a void and began writing. She hit the ground running, pumping out bestselling thrillers, and has a loyal following that most authors would be envious of. Margaret Mizushima writes the award-winning and internationally published Timber Creek K-9 Mysteries, which feature Deputy Mattie Cobb, her German shepherd partner Robo, and veterinarian Cole Walker. Together they fight crime in the fictional mountain community of Timber Creek, Colorado. There are nine books in Margaret's series, and the tenth, Dying Cry, will be published on October 14th this fall. In real life, Margaret and her veterinarian husband recently moved from a small ranch in Colorado, where they raised two daughters and a multitude of animals, to a home in the Pacific Northwest. Award-winning author Kathleen Donnelly brings heart-pounding suspense and unforgettable K-9 heroes to life in her National Forest K-9 and Colorado K-9 series. A retired K-9 handler, she draws on her real-life experience and brings to life the powerful bond between humans and working dogs. Her upcoming release, Colorado K-9 Rescue, shines a light on crisis canines and their power to help victims recover. I had a lot of fun doing this interview, and I believe you will get a lot of useful information out of today’s show, and maybe a couple of chuckles!   In today’s episode, we discuss: ·      Why and how they started writing books. ·      Best and worst writing advice.   ·      What lessons they learned from writing their first book?  ·      How they learned police procedure, more specifically K9 police procedure, being civilians. ·      Why are dogs so popular in movies and books? ·      Why did they choose to be traditional or self-published authors, and what are the pros and cons of both? ·      Best marketing advice to sell more books. ·      Artificial intelligence, how to use it, or not use it. All of this and more on today’s episode of the Cops and Writers podcast. Visit Jodi Burnett on her website to learn more about her and her books! Visit Kathleen Donnelley at her website to learn more about her and her books! Visit Margaret Mizushima at her website to learn more about her and her books!   Check out the new Cops and Writers YouTube channel!

Der neue Netflix-Film "Fall for Me" mit Svenja Jung reiht sich äußerlich in die Tradition des erotischen Thrillers ein, doch schon nach kurzer Zeit zeigt sich, dass der schöne Schein trügt. Die Geschichte wirkt konstruiert und vorhersehbar, die Figuren sind dünn gezeichnet und ihre Handlungen wirken selten nachvollziehbar. Auch die Spannung, die sich aus psychologischen Konflikten ergeben könnte, baut sich nicht auf, weil es dem Drehbuch an Substanz fehlt.Die erotischen Szenen sind zwar sauber inszeniert, aber kraftlos und entwickeln keine Intensität. Stattdessen bleibt ein Gefühl von hübsch arrangierten Tableaus, die leblos wirken. Svenja Jung ist in dieser Rolle keine glückliche Besetzung, ihr Spiel bleibt auffallend blass und fügt der ohnehin schwachen Figurenzeichnung keine zusätzliche Tiefe hinzu. So bleibt sie wie der gesamte Film merkwürdig austauschbar. Verstärkt wird dieser Eindruck durch die Kameraarbeit, die zwar stimmungsvolle Landschaften einfängt, diese aber wie dekorative Postkartenbilder wirken lässt, die das Fehlen einer tragfähigen Geschichte nicht überdecken können.Alles in allem entsteht der Eindruck einer Produktion, die mit schönen Oberflächen arbeitet, aber weder durch Spannung noch durch darstellerische Kraft überzeugt und am Ende eher wie eine routinierte öffentlich-rechtliche Fernsehproduktion wirkt als wie ein großer Netflix-Hit.

On this episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo is joined by Riz Ahmed, Lily James, and director David Mackenzie to talk about ‘Relay', a paranoid thriller set in New York City that follows a world-class “fixer” (Riz Ahmed) who brokers lucrative payoffs between corrupt corporations and the individuals who threaten their ruin. He keeps his identity a secret through meticulous planning and always follows an exacting set of rules. When a new message arrives from a potential client (Lily James) needing his protection to stay alive, the rules quickly start to change. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Willa Fitzgerald, Matthew Maher, and more.For Ahmed, the attraction was as much about who he was working with as the story itself. “The thing that's always one of the most important things is your director,” he said. “You're going to be in their hands. You've got to kind of vibe with them. So David was a big pull. And then it's also who else are you going to be doing this with? When I heard it was Lily, I was absolutely thrilled.”

Today, I’m thrilled to be joined by bestselling thriller writer Alice Hunter, whose gripping novels delve deep into the minds of serial killers and psychopaths. Alice takes us on her fascinating journey from nursing to working as a psychological facilitator in the prison system, to finding her passion in writing. She shares how her work explores psychopathy, criminal psychology, and the fine line between nature and nurture. We talk about the meticulous research that goes into her books, psychopaths and serial killers, and what it’s like to see her stories adapted for screen.

This week, I chat with Leigh Dunlap about her darkly comical debut thriller Bless Your Heart. We dive into her inspiration for the story, how her screenwriting background influenced her novel writing process, and how her relationship with her son formed the story.Bless Your Heart SynopsisAnderson Tupper, a member of one of Atlanta's richest families, has been murdered in the dugout of the Little League field where he was a volunteer coach, and it's up to Detective Shay Claypool, a single mother from the other side of town, to find his killer.With the exclusive area of Buckhead threatening to secede from the city of Atlanta and take its tax revenue with it, Shay is under pressure to solve the murder of one of Buckhead's own. Accustomed to handling drug dealers and prostitutes, she must now contend with an even more sinister the Buckhead Betties, the insufferably entitled women of Georgia's most affluent zip code. One of them might be a murderer, but who? Is it the old-money queen of Buckhead? The mysterious new girl in town? The drug dealing trophy wife?It seems secrets and lies are as plentiful as luxury handbags in Atlanta and everyone's guilty of something. Shay's investigation will make her examine her own prejudices and discover that, as women and mothers, she might not be that different from the Betties after all. And if she isn't careful, they just might take her down with them.

Episode 137 of The Film ‘89 Podcast marks the first time that the guys revisit a film that's already been covered on a previous episode. 5 years ago on Episode 52, Neil and Skye recorded an audio commentary for the 45th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's 1975 masterpiece, Jaws. That episode remains one of Film ‘89's most downloaded episodes and one that regularly gets mentioned by listeners as one of their favourites. The commentary focussed mainly on the making of Jaws along with Skye and Neil's analysis of the film, but this episode is going to be a companion piece to the that first episode focussing more on a celebration of Jaws' legacy as it turns 50 and its impact upon the guys (now joined by Steve), and what they feel makes it a genuine contender for the title of greatest film ever made. But it won't just be Steve, Skye and Neil talking as this episode features many of the regular Film ‘89 co-hosts, guests, friends from Film Twitter and more, so input from more people than any other episode of Film ‘89 so far, all experts on film, chiming in with their testimonies as to why they feel Jaws is one of the greatest motion pictures ever made.

This week, Gare and I talk with Clèmence Michallon about her new thriller Our Last Resort. We dive into her inspiration for the book, her fresh take on a locked room thriller, and how she crafted a believable cult.Our Last Resort SynopsisInnocence doesn't bail you out; it just makes you easier to trap.Frida and Gabriel arrive seeking a fresh start at the stunning Ara Hotel in the secluded desert of Escalante, Utah. Once so close they were able to finish each other's sentences, they've grown apart in recent years after a sudden, unspeakable tragedy. Now, at the luxe resort, they are ready to reconnect between dips in the pool and hikes on spectacular desert trails. It all feels like paradise—until the dead body of a beautiful young woman who was vacationing at the Ara with her powerful, much older husband is discovered.When the local police arrive and suspicion quickly falls on Gabriel, Frida is forced to revisit memories from their upbringing in a cloistered cult in upstate New York, their dramatic escape, and the scandal that followed. Frida's belief in Gabriel's innocence never wavered at the time, but now even she can't ignore the evidence mounting against him.Alternating between past and present timelines, Our Last Resort builds toward a shattering climax that uncovers the fate of the murdered Ara guest and poses the question: how well do we ever really know those we love? Multi-layered, gripping, and intense, Clémence Michallon's latest suspense novel is a nail-biter until the last page, cementing her status as a major new talent in the genre.
