We're not content to just talk about great synth-pop albums of the pivotal year of 1980...we wanted to share the discussion with musicians who created one of the great synth-pop albums of 1980! The album, you ask? Party In The War Zone by L.A. band Vivabeat, and we were fortunate enough to have bassist/songwriter Mick Muhlfriedel and keyboardist/vocalist Marina Muhlfriedel joining us. This surely must be one of the most remarkable stories we've heard of living on the precipice of the big time. They had the hooks and the looks. They were discovered by Peter Gabriel (who was inspired by the whistling hook in the band's "Man From China" to write "Games Without Frontiers) and signed to Charisma. Their song "The House Is Burning (But There's No One Home)" was prominently featured in the film Body Double, and the music video subsequently won an MTV Video Award. Their second incarnation included former Japan guitarist Rob Dean, contributing to their standing as the opening act to bands like Depeche Mode and Gary Numan. However, a series of unfortunate events and unscrupulous managers limited Vivabeat's shelf life. Fortunately, in 2024, Rubellan Remasters (www.rubellanremasters.com) re-issued Party In The War Zone on CD for the first time, as well as the vinyl-only compilation The House Is Burning: The Best of Vivabeat 1979-86. Mick Muhlfriedel went on to work on scores for films such as Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, and is currently the President of the wonderful youth organization Downtown LA Soccer Club. Marina Muhlfriedel also got into the film industry, starting as a Production Assistant for Danny DeVito, eventually getting a Producer credit on movies like Throw Momma From The Train. She is a highly experienced storyteller, writer, and producer, who is currently working on her memoir. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On the latest episode of the podcast, Jamie tries to explain the difference between Cacao and Coco to her cohost with no success, Doug understands some of Billy Crystal's frustration in this film as he has similar stress dreams, and we both agree that a newborn Canny DeVito probably looked similar to a furry egg.

SIDE HUSTLE IV: DeGOOD, DeBAD & DeVITO Danny Devito is a beloved actor and, in 2023, a justifiably beloved American institution. Mostly known as a comedic actor from Taxi onward, DeVito turned success as a pinch-hitting comedic character actor into a brief, but stellar, time as an A-list film director. Speaking of director's, Ivan Reitman certainly has numerous screen credits to his name as one! He made a few classics featuring Bill Murray and... he made other movies, some of which made a lot of money. One of which is TWINS (1988), which Danny DeVito co-starts as a twin to... wait for it, oh man, it is too funny! He is the twin of Arnold Schwarzenegger! The big muscle guy with the accent? If you need to take a break from that high concept to wipe your eyes, this movie is for you!  It made a ton of money and does have a certain late 80's lazy "they'll watch anything" charm to it as its stakes are minor. Devito and Schwarzenegger do have good enough chemistry that they reunited with the same director where... are you sitting down? The big muscle guy gets pregnant.  The crew, joined by ace guest Shannon, have disagreement over the merits of this one (Shannon doesn't get to write the show notes, though).Then we go back in time (not in a John Connor way) to 1987 for DeVito's classic box office breakthrough as director/star for Throw Momma From The Train, a film with moderate aspirations that nevertheless goes full bore in succeeding in almost every case. It's brief, it's funny, it has fabulously comic performances,  and is dark in a way many movies of the era screwed up (hello, She-Devil). Ken, Thomas and Shannon all discuss the actor, the director, the legend, Danny DeVito.THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegoodthepoda1YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!):Ken: Ken KoralJack: jackk1096

This week, Shane and Bryan go back in their time machine to a simpler time in life, and in film making, when you could pay cash for a plane ticket and give false names. It was a time when people couldn't protect their intellectual properties from theft, and when you could write a children's book with an atrocious title. Yes! We are back in the 1980s with the 1987 black comedy, Throw Momma From the Train, starring Billy Crystal, Danny Devito, Anne Ramsey, and Kate Mulgrew. In this film, Larry (Crystal) is a failing author teaching community college-level creative writing. He is also angry that his ex wife (Mulgrew) stole his book. When one of his hapless students (Devito) kills the book thief, Larry is expected to return the favor. How? By taking out his student's mother. You'll laugh. You'll scratch your head. You'll realize the people in this movie are assholes, and Branford doesn't even play music!

Comedy legends Billy Crystal and Danny DeVito team up for an unlikely murder plot in the dark comedy Throw Momma From The Train! Jeff is joined by regular 1986 contributor David Burns to discuss DeVito's feature directorial effort with the memorable Anne Ramsey in her final role.

As is tradition, STS kicks off its latest season (Season 4) with an episode pulled from Danny DeVito's black comedy "Throw Momma From The Train." This is "Hot Fire" by Professor Larry Donner.

Yes, Bob Saget has starred in many successful television shows, including two of the most family-friendly shows network TV has ever produced ("Full House" and "Americas Funniest Home Videos") but he's also an out of his mind, Grammy-nominated standup comedian for over thirty years. From his HBO special "That Ain't Right" to his scene-stealing cameos in "Entourage," and "The Aristocrats," it's always effective as Saget embraces his dark side. From directing MGM's cult favorite feature film "Dirty Work," to directing and producing the highly acclaimed ABC television movie, "For Hope," to starring in the critically acclaimed, Paul Weitz off-Broadway play, "Privilege, to starring on Broadway in the Tony Award winning "The Drowsy Chaperone," Bob Saget shows no signs of stopping.  Ever.  In 2007 came the hugely successful DVD release of "Farce of the Penguins," an R-rated comedy/documentary/love story, that he voiced-over, wrote, directed, and produced, with producer David Permut.  And then came the hit NBC quiz show "1 VS 100," where Bob ad-libbed his way through the one-hour prime time format.  In 2008, "The Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget" premiered to the second highest ratings of all TV that night, second only to the Olympics.   For many years now, Bob has been a proud board member of the Scleroderma Research Foundation. He co-produces and hosts "Cool Comedy Hot Cuisine" fundraising events in Los Angeles, New York, Las Vegas and San Francisco.  To date, they have raised over 53 million dollars for the SRF going directly to research to cure this disease.   Bob was seen several times reprising the role of “Himself” on HBO's hit series “Entourage” as well as a cameo in the film.  He also starred in his own documentary comedy series for A&E titled, “Strange Days with Bob Saget,” an exploration of unusual subcultures in America.     ----------   Robert Reiner was born in New York City, to Estelle Reiner (née Lebost) and Emmy-winning actor, comedian, writer, and producer Carl Reiner. As a child, he often looked up to his father as his inspiration and role-model. Carl Reiner was on The Dick Van Dyke Show, which he created and also starred in. Estelle was the inspiration for Rob Reiner to become a director. Her history as a singer helped him understand how music was used in a scene. Rob often felt pressured about measuring up to his father's twelve Emmys, and prestigious awards and successful streak. When Rob graduated high school, his parents advised him to participate in Summer Theatre. Reiner got a job as an apprentice in the Bucks County Playhouse in Pennsylvania. He went to be further educated at UCLA Film School. Reiner felt he still wasn't successful even having a recurring role on one of the biggest shows in the country, All in the Family. Reiner began his directing career with the Oscar-nominated films This Is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, and The Princess Bride,. With these successful box-office movies in 1987, Reiner founded his own production company, Castle Rock Entertainment, along with Martin Shafer, Andrew Scheinman, Glenn Padnick, and Alan Horn. For Castle Rock Entertainment, he went to direct the Oscar-nominated films When Harry Met Sally, Misery, and A Few Good Men. Reiner often credits former co-star Carroll O'Connor in helping him get into the directing business, and showing Reiner the ropes. Reiner also is known as a political activist, co-founding the American Foundation For Equal Rights, a group that was an advisory for same-sex-marriage. Reiner has spoken at several rallies on several controversial topics, and is also seen as an advocate on social issues, such as domestic violence and tobacco use. Reiner has also made cameos on show like 30 Rock, The Simpsons, and Hannah Montana, and in the films The First Wives Club, Bullets Over Broadway, Primary Colors, and Throw Momma From The Train, among many others.

Get your hankies ready this week as we receive "The Visitor"!Author and Star Trek Adventures line editor Jim Johnson joins the show to discuss one of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's most affecting hours. An accident aboard the Defiant causes Sisko to be lost in time and Jake must struggle to overcome the loss of his father. As the years pass and Jake gets older, he sees his contentment, his family, his health, and his future being stripped away, as he contemplates a fatal solution that could bring back his father and correct the tragedy that forever altered their destinies!DS9 was far ahead of its time, both for portraying a black family in science fiction and for having the courage to present stories about love and family against the backdrop of space military sci-fi. It also featured Jake as an unlikely sci-fi hero, a creative with no desire to fight or explore space, choosing instead to explore his own creative limits. During our discussion, we talk about DS9's own take on "The Inner Light" and how it contrasts with the show's later wartime stories, the all too rare example of filial love in TV sci-fi, the contrast between Wesley and Jake, letting go of the past, and the difficulty in writing stories about writing.We also discuss getting advice from Dean Wesley Smith, synthacheeseburgers, that last scene, how old Federation citizens can get, whether "Enterprise" will ever be remembered fondly, being an Egyptophile, Waldenbooks nostalgia, Weird West, Disney's Haunted Mansion, Aaron wonders about the Federation's opinion on suicide, and Jim makes the show's first "Throw Momma From The Train" reference!*sob*Follow Jim on Twitter!https://twitter.com/scribe_ineti/Roll boldly with Star Trek Adventures RPG!https://amzn.to/2JLtOgHReunite with us on Facebook and Twitter and our Facebook group!http://www.facebook.com/eistpodhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/eistpod/http://www.twitter.com/eistpodBuy us dice on Patreon!http://www.patreon.com/eistpodSubscribe to the show on iTunes!https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/enterprising-individuals/id1113165661?mt=2

Den havde du nok ikke regnet med at vi havde med på vores liste, men det er efter vores bedste overbevisning en overset komedie. Danny DeVito folder sig virkelig ud sammen med Billy Crystal. Et af temaerne er skriveblokkering og der er mange referencer til Alfred Hitchcocks film Strangers on a Train (1951).Throw Momma from the Train (1987) er instrueret af Danny DeVito og er film nummer 49 på Thomas og Mortens liste over de 100 bedste film.Lyt med til en samtale i Det Gule Værelse, hvor Thomas og Morten stiller skarpt på problemerne ved en kraftig moderbinding, skriveblokeringer og hvordan det kan gå galt hvis man bytter mord.

In the SEASON 2 PREMIERE of STORIES TELLING STORIES, we take a look at another story gleaned from the driving inspiration behind this podcast, with “Murder at my Friend Harry’s” from the seminal 80’s dark comedy THROW MOMMA FROM THE TRAIN…

In today’s episode of STORIES TELLING STORIES, we take a look at Mrs. Hazeltine’s submarine story from the oft-ommitted 80’s classic “THROW MOMMA FROM THE TRAIN.”

In this special episode (which is our second year anniversary), we revisit our previous genre of Dark Comedies and choose all new picks for it!! Here are the films: Throw Momma from the Train (1987) Heathers (1988) Death Becomes Her (1992)

Wait a minute- these are not horror movies at all! Well true enough- but this episode of Rank N Review is the first to sway far from the scary movie genre. My guest is the lovely actor dancer and all around cool kid Ntara Curry and she is no fan of the horror genre. To accommodate my guest I selected six comedic films that had horror or thriller premises. The discussion does contain spoilers and bad language but wadaya gonna do? I am your host and random Canadian Larry Parsons- and thank you so much for listening to the podcast. 010: Homicide Made Hilarious Guest: Ntara Curry Introduction 00:00:00 - 00:12:14/Throw Momma From The Train 00:12:15 - 00:21:23/So I Married An Axe Murderer 00:21:24 - 00:31:33/Cable Guy 00:31:34 - 00:43:19/Heathers 00:43:20 - 01:02:59/Drop Dead Gorgeous 01:03:00 - 01:16:14/(Remake) 01:16:15 - 01:29:18/Ranks 01:29:19 - 01:43:17

Hi! This week's podcast features an interview with legendary cartoonist PETER BAGGE (Hate, Apocalypse Nerd), who wrote a new graphic novel about Margaret Sanger called WOMAN REBEL. This is a lovely interview with a wonderful man! Also, Julie tells Banksy to not let the door hit his tush on the way out of New York City, complains about Turner Classic Movies and Drew Barrymore's undereducated introduction of some of the films on that there channel, half-recaps THROW MOMMA FROM THE TRAIN, and explains the depths of procrastination that one has to get to in order to put a bowtie on one's cat. Plus: popsicle tangents! Lysol as a reasonably safe douching method, if you use the right proportions! And the presumed personality traits behind a man with a law degree who holds a full time job at DC Comics. Enjoy this show, because we could all get hit by cars tomorrow and die.
