We spent the afternoon talking about his work on this fantastical series and it's many audio challenges. These include creature vocal designs for the many different characters, finding comedy in the chaos, and discovering the right tone for this unique genre.

Con las plataformas muy asentadas, hay un sinfín de "recuelas", reboots o estrenos directos en streaming de películas que nunca pidieron una continuación. Analizamos 6 ejemplos paradigmáticos de los últimos diez años: - Blade Runner 2049, Denis Villeneuve ¿está a la altura del clásico? - Bitelchús Bitelchús, ¿vuelve Tim Burton por sus fueros? - El regreso de Mary Poppins, la secuela más tardía ¿e innecesaria? - Todos los lados de la cama, ¿por qué no se repitió el taquillazo? - Doctor Sueño, ¿estaría conforme Stephen King con este nuevo Resplandor? - Top Gun: Maverick, salvó las salas pero ¿es mejor que la primera parte? No tardamos diez años en tratar de resolver todas estás incógnitas y además nos volvemos a aventurar sobre próximas secuelas tardías.

“I am not complete” Edward Scissorhands (1990) directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest, Anthony Michael Hall, Vincent Price, Alan Arkin and Kathy Baker Next Time: Morocco (1930)
"I know how you feel. You don't know if you want to hit me or kiss me. I get a lot of that." In the latest episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, your hosts Mark McManus & A. J, Black dig into Warren Beatty's 1990 adaptation of classic American comic book detective, Dick Tracy. In the wake of Tim Burton's Batman, Beatty brings to life his passion project with a galaxy of stars, a palette of vibrant colour, and an unashamed adoration for the gangster film of old. But did it work then and does it work now? We try to find out... Host Mark McManus Co-Host / Editor A. J.

Screenwriting Legends SCOTT ALEXANDER and LARRY KARASZEWSKI discuss their origin stories of being film nerds, drive-in movies, how looking on the back of Variety was glorious when they were kids, how Shakey's Pizza's silent movies influenced them, meeting the first hour at school and deciding to go to the Nuart Theater in Los Angeles, why they program screenings including The Wrong Guy, what makes a good story from real life, why offbeat losers make better subjects than heroes, how directors like Tim Burton are loyal to the script and love stories of art and outsiders, why awards are fun but stupid, their process of deciding on ideas in a shockingly random way, sinking time into ideas that go nowhere, the amazing Marx Brothers movie that can't seem to get made, how they can't shake a movie once they love it, how producers are just as stupid as they are, whether everyone has a movie in their lives and why someone doesn't make a bio movie about them, and how pickleball can save your life! Bio:SCOTT ALEXANDER and LARRY KARASZEWSKI met when they were freshman roommates at USC's School of Cinema. On a whim, they wrote a screenplay during their senior year, which sold a week after graduation. They are best known for writing very unusual biopics with larger-than-life characters. They wrote the highly-acclaimed ED WOOD, for which they were nominated for Best Screenplay by the Writers Guild. They followed this with THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT, for which they won the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay, as well as a special Writers Guild award for civil rights and liberties. They scripted the extremely postmodern MAN ON THE MOON, the life story of Andy Kaufman. They wrote BIG EYES, the strange-but-true story of Margaret and Walter Keane, for which they received an Indie Spirit Best Screenplay nomination. For their first television project, they created the hit miniseries AMERICAN CRIME STORY: THE PEOPLE V. O.J. SIMPSON, for which they won the Emmy, Golden Globe, PGA and WGA Award for Best Limited Series. Their most recent film, DOLEMITE IS MY NAME, is the celebrated tale of Rudy Ray Moore. Other than biopics, Alexander and Karaszewski are quite eclectic. They wrote the hit Stephen King adaptation 1408. They produced the Bob Crane biopic AUTO FOCUS, and they wrote and directed the comedy SCREWED. They have also written numerous family films, including PROBLEM CHILD, PROBLEM CHILD 2, AGENT CODY BANKS, and GOOSEBUMPS. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Ian Hunter has spent four decades building miniatures, supervising visual effects and thinking like a filmmaker on some of the most demanding productions in Hollywood. In this episode, he traces a career that began in a garden shed with a punched-up piece of German black velvet and ended up — via James Cameron, Tim Burton, the Coen Brothers, and Christopher Nolan — on some of the most iconic screens in the world.Ian grew up surrounded by art. His father painted oils and acrylics, played music and did pastel portraits, and encouraged his three sons to make things — even when those things destroyed the materials he'd given them. The moment that really clicked, Ian recalls, was being handed a model kit as a kid and taking to it immediately. That creative instinct only grew stronger. In high school, he and his brothers were making Super 8 films, scratching laser effects onto the film with a pin and blowing up overloaded resistors for explosions. One of those films required them to fake-rob a local bank — and the encounter that followed, with the surprisingly enthusiastic vice president of the Monrovia Wells Fargo, led to a meeting with the mother of Rick Baker, whose work Ian had recently encountered in a traveling special effects exhibition and been completely floored by.After drifting away from an aerospace course at Cal Poly Pomona and working in an acid bath plastics factory, Ian answered a classified ad looking for model makers — and on the strength of a modest portfolio, was hired the same day. His first feature was The Abyss. He and fellow model maker Jim McGee built the flooded engine room of the Montana submarine with almost no direction beyond James Cameron's bare-bones description, and shipped it to South Carolina having never seen a frame of the live action. The production was not without its disasters — Ian found himself entangled in the notorious wax crane fiasco, and talks about the valuable early lesson of knowing when to call something out before it goes wrong.From there, a friend pointed him toward Boss Film, Richard Edlund's company in Marina del Rey, where a chance encounter with departing model supervisor Mark Stetson changed everything. What was supposed to be a one-week favour on a music video turned into six years. Working with Stetson took Ian from being a junior model maker building things in isolation to visiting sets, talking directly with directors, and understanding that miniature work only succeeds when it becomes invisible — just more shots in a movie, telling the story rather than showing off the technique.Among the projects from that period, Ian talks at length about Total Recall — including the behind-the-scenes chaos of a scale miscommunication on the final day of shooting, a scene involving a little person that nobody had accounted for, and the moment he glued a Coke can to a model building because they were running out of time. That Coke can, dressed up and shot from the front, made it into the finished film. So did one in Waterworld. And Inception. And Interstellar. And, after the story apparently got around, director Fede Álvarez greeted Ian on Alien: Romulus by asking exactly where he was planning to hide it.Ian built the suburb for Edward Scissorhands — deliberately making it more bland and mundane than real life — and talks about one of his proudest in-camera shots: the final view through the bedroom window and out over the snow-dusted neighbourhood, achieved with a 1:24 scale model and real snow shakers on the night. On Batman Returns he built the Penguin's zoo, and describes receiving one of his all-time favourite compliments from Tim Burton — who, after watching a pyrotechnics test, asked simply: "Where did you shoot this?" Not realising he was looking at a miniature. The zoo also gave Ian one of his best examples of a happy accident: a polar bear sculpture that was supposed to explode but instead toppled slowly sideways with flames coming out of its feet. Tim Burton loved it. The entire subsequent engineering challenge was figuring out how to recreate the mistake.On the X-Files movie, Ian and his partner Matthew Gratzner built a collapsing federal building on a tight budget, referencing Oklahoma City bombing photographs for the detail of damaged concrete and exposed floors. The late Roger Ebert reviewed the finished film and said the sequence should have been cut — because it was too reminiscent of real tragedy. Ian reflects on that as a marker: they'd gotten past the technique and into the emotion.The conversation turns to Christopher Nolan, with whom Ian has worked across multiple films. Ian describes Nolan as collaborative but definitive, someone who discusses a shot in depth and then tells you exactly what he wants. He talks about the liberation Nolan offered on Interstellar when he told the crew to stop following the previs — pre-vis is just a guy at a computer on a Friday trying to get the shot out the door, Nolan told them; if you can see a better angle, do that instead. The result was that the miniature crew started shooting faster, and a number of shots that had been planned as digital moved across to the physical side. Ian also describes the meticulous sun-angle calculation that went into matching the Inception hospital sequence — setting up models in a parking lot at a precisely calculated skewed angle to hit the exact quality of light that had been captured in Calgary on a specific date.On First Man with Damien Chazelle, Ian had drawn storyboards before the first meeting proposing a documentary approach — cameras attached to the spacecraft, nothing sweeping or cinematic, everything either very close or very wide as if shot from another ship. Chazelle walked in and described exactly the same idea. They spent twenty minutes together going through the sequence, working to an animatic cut to music, and Ian went off and shot it. That shorthand — that moment of being in sync before the conversation has really started — is something Ian describes as central to how he has survived in an industry where so many practical effects houses have not. He's a model maker, yes. But more than that, he's a filmmaker.This podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.

Lukas Haas Gets Real About Hollywood, Child Fame & Spider-Noir What's it really like to grow up in Hollywood, become a star as a kid, and still keep evolving as an artist decades later? In this episode of Reza Rifts, Keith Reza sits down with Lukas Haas for a candid, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation about his upcoming role in Spider-Noir, the pressure of self-tape auditions, playing darker characters, and what it takes to survive a lifetime in the entertainment industry. Lukas opens up about landing Spider-Noir, stepping into a stylized noir comic-book world, and why filming in both black-and-white and color gave the project such a unique feel. He also talks about the freedom of playing a villain, the art of instinctive acting, and how costumes, tone, and physicality all help shape a memorable performance. But this episode goes far beyond one role. Keith and Lukas also dive into Lukas's early rise as a child actor, learning lines before he fully knew how to read, working through the highs and lows of a long Hollywood career, and the reality of constantly reinventing yourself as you grow older in the industry. They also talk about Mars Attacks!, creative burnout, rewriting dialogue, difficult personalities in Hollywood, and Lukas's passion for music including his upcoming release of "Ramblin' Man." If you love Hollywood stories, acting insights, behind-the-scenes film talk, child star journeys, and honest conversations with real artists, this is one of the most revealing Reza Rifts episodes yet. Guest Bio Lukas Haas is an actor and musician whose career began in childhood and has spanned decades across film and television. In this conversation, Keith references credits including Witness, Lady in White, The Wizard of Loneliness, Mars Attacks!, and Inception. Lukas also discusses his role in the upcoming series Spider-Noir, where he plays the right-hand man to Brendan Gleeson's character, as well as his passion for writing and recording music.

Voice Of Costume - Creating Character through Costume Design
Legendary costume designer Colleen Atwood joins Voice of Costume for a fascinating look inside the gothic fashion and visual storytelling of Netflix's Wednesday. She explains how costume design begins with reality, then shifts slightly into the strange, stylized world of Tim Burton—where clothing must feel imaginative while remaining true to the character wearing it. Colleen explores Wednesday Addams' emotional evolution, her growing friendship with Enid Sinclair, and how costumes subtly express isolation, connection, and personal growth. She reveals how Wednesday's deliberately limited black-and-white palette creates opportunities to experiment with silhouette, texture, movement, function, and tonal contrast—especially during action sequences and the spectacular Venetian gala. The conversation also dives into Enid's deepening color palette, Morticia Addams' sculptural wardrobe, red-lined sleeves, Day of the Dead embroidery, and how Catherine Zeta-Jones' dance background helps bring dramatic costumes to life. Colleen discusses her longtime collaboration with Tim Burton, her obsession with fit and construction, and why costumes must look compelling from every camera angle—not merely beautiful from the front. A must-listen for fans of Wednesday, Jenna Ortega, Tim Burton, gothic fashion, the Addams Family, Netflix behind-the-scenes stories, costume design, and cinematic world-building. The "Voice of Costume" is the first podcast created between working costume designers sharing stories, inspiration, struggles, and insights into the creative career of costume design. A behind-the-scenes podcast to showcase the voices of Costume Designers around the world. Listen in on this inspirational, one-on-one conversation with Catherine Baumgardner.

In today's episode Kyler sits down with Los Angeles singer-songwriter Bella Beau to explore the deeply visual qualities of her music. The literary podcast found a natural connection in her cinematic single "Mask of Flowers," which she notes is heavily inspired by her vivid dreams, the gothic styling of Tim Burton, and the dark themes of The Picture of Dorian Gray. The conversation highlights her early immersion in the L.A. music scene, where her childhood fascination with film composers like Danny Elfman eventually led her from opera camp to performing live sets. Her unique style seamlessly blends the languid delivery of classic jazz vocalists like Julie London with the bold art-pop styling of David Bowie.

Welcome to the Video Store Podcast.The balloons are up. The popcorn machine is running full blast. The sno-cone machine is free today.Here at the Video Store Podcast, we're celebrating 100 episodes!For this special anniversary, we wanted to do something worthy of the occasion. No clip-show flashbacks. No “greatest hits” countdown. Instead, we headed behind the counter and pulled out four of the biggest VHS releases of all time, the movies that didn't just dominate the box office, but helped define the home video revolution.These were the rentals everyone wanted. The tapes that were always checked out on Friday night. The films that transformed the VCR from a luxury item into the centerpiece of family entertainment.For our 100th episode, we're revisiting four legendary films that helped build video store culture as we knew it.Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)Directed by Nicholas Meyer, this sequel took the Star Trek franchise in a sharper, more dramatic direction. Admiral James T. Kirk faces his greatest adversary, Khan Noonien Singh, in a tense and deeply personal battle of strategy, revenge, and sacrifice. With Ricardo Montalbán delivering one of science fiction's most unforgettable villain performances, The Wrath of Khan remains one of the greatest sequels ever made.Its real legacy, however, may be what happened after theaters.Paramount made a bold gamble and priced The Wrath of Khan at just $39.95. The result shocked the industry. The tape became the highest-selling VHS release to date.That decision helped reshape home media forever and opened the door for the home video collecting boom of the 1980s.Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones burst onto screens in 1981 with whip-cracking charisma, globe-trotting action, and one of cinema's most instantly recognizable openings. From the giant rolling boulder to the snake-filled Well of Souls, Raiders delivered nonstop thrills while redefining what modern adventure filmmaking could be.When it arrived on VHS in late 1983, priced at the same consumer-friendly $39.95, Raiders generated massive pre-orders and sold more than a million copies within two years. It became one of the first films to demonstrate that a blockbuster could enjoy a hugely profitable second life in home video.It was the kind of movie families brought home again and again, the perfect repeat-viewing experience that made it a cornerstone of early home libraries.The Karate Kid (1984)The Karate Kid was one of those movies families rented over and over again until every line of dialogue was memorized. Released in 1984, the story of Daniel LaRusso, Mr. Miyagi, and the All-Valley Karate Tournament struck a perfect balance of heart, humor, action, and inspiration.On VHS, The Karate Kid became one of the defining family rentals of the decade.Unlike the spectacle-driven blockbusters on this list, its success proved that emotionally resonant, character-driven stories could thrive in the home video market. It became a staple of Friday night rentals, sleepovers, and repeat family viewings.Batman (1989)The summer of 1989 belonged to Batman.Tim Burton's Batman wasn't just a hit movie, it was a full-scale cultural event. Michael Keaton's brooding Dark Knight, Jack Nicholson's unforgettable Joker, Danny Elfman's thunderous score, and Gotham's gothic atmosphere transformed superhero cinema forever.It was darker, moodier, and more cinematic than anything audiences expected from a comic book adaptation.Then came the VHS release.Warner Bros. priced Batman at an aggressive $24.95, making it one of the most accessible blockbuster home video releases of its era. Stores stacked walls of black-and-gold VHS boxes. Cardboard standees filled lobbies. Television commercials hyped its release like another theatrical event.The theatrical release made Batman a cultural obsession. The VHS release made it part of everyday life.Thank You for 100 EpisodesFrom Star Trek II changing VHS pricing forever, to Raiders proving the power of repeat home viewing… from The Karate Kid becoming a family rental institution to Batman turning home video into a national event, these weren't just great movies.They were the tapes that defined Friday nights.They built home video libraries, filled video store shelves, and helped create the culture we celebrate every week here at the Video Store Podcast.To everyone who has listened, shared the show, and stopped by the store these past 100 episodes: thank you!Until next time — be kind, rewind.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

Vous n'aviez pas les sous pour la version next-gen ? Pas de panique. Il existe tout un monde parallèle où vos jeux préférés tournaient sur la console d'en dessous, sur la portable du petit frère, ou sur un PC qui avait clairement pas demandé ça. Parfois c'était brillant. Parfois c'était une catastrophe industrielle. Mais ça avait toujours une personnalité. Bienvenue dans les sous-versions. Mugen assume l'intro low cost, Ace Bunny crashe en direct avant de revenir ("je suis la photocopie d'une photocopie"), Brad, Pedro et HKR arrivent avec leurs sélections — et une règle maison : les jeux PC portés sur console comptent aussi, sinon HKR n'a rien à dire. Au programme : Pedro - Unreal Tournament 99 (PS2 & Dreamcast) Le fast FPS fondateur porté sur deux consoles qui n'avaient aucune raison de l'accueillir. La version Dreamcast tourne sous Windows CE à 50-60fps et se rapproche du PC medium/high, mais split-screen local uniquement, souris à 120€, mode Assaut absent. La version PS2 descend à 25fps mais gagne deux sticks et le clavier-souris USB. L'argument imparable des deux : jouer à 4 en split-screen dans son salon en Unreal Tournament. Brad vs Ace Bunny - Forza Horizon 2 (Xbox 360) Même jeu, deux avis opposés. Brad présente le naufrage : physique bancale, voitures qui tombent à travers le sol, monde ouvert tronqué. Ace défend Sumo Digital (le studio britannique sorti des cendres de Gremlin Interactive) qui, conscient de ses limites, a redessiné les événements de fond en comble : des circuits là où la version One faisait du off-road, des courses contre des avions et des bateaux. Verdict partagé : une sous-version honnête, et au moins elle est jouable (contrairement à Arab Drift Cars). Hkr - Anno : Create a New World (Wii) Après un historique complet de la licence (1602, 1503, 1701, 1404), HKR présente la version Wii de 2010, développée spécifiquement pour la console et pas un simple portage. Objectifs progressifs, Wiimote qui fonctionne étonnamment bien, DA colorée et accessible. Moins de profondeur que le PC, chaînes de production simplifiées, pas de sandbox, mais une porte d'entrée réussie pour un public console qui n'aurait jamais touché à l'original. Une sous-version dans le bon sens du terme. Mugen - MediEvil Resurrection (PSP) La transgression assumée : techniquement supérieure à l'original PS1, et pourtant c'est une sous-version artistique. Du gothique Tim Burton, on passe au cartoon années 2000 avec un sidekick insupportable et des vannes Britney Spears dans toutes les langues du jeu. Mais les niveaux sont redessinés intelligemment, l'essence du gameplay est là, et c'était le premier jeu PSP de Mugen, couru acheter en boutique au sens propre. Pedro - Medal of Honor Underground (GBA) Le fond du fond. Deux frames par seconde. Des soldats représentés par des traits de pixels parfois non codés (ils ne bougent pas). De la pelouse en intérieur, un chapitre manquant, des murs remplacés par des carrés noirs. Pedro l'a fini jusqu'au bout pour vivre "la sensation de perte de temps ultime". Déconseillé. À tester quand même si vous avez l'âme d'un guerrier. Ace Bunny - WWE 2K18 (Switch) Le pire portage de la Switch. Développé par Blind Squirrel Games (ça s'explique). Pub de lancement sans une seule image du jeu. Résultat à regarder les yeux fermés. Brad - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (GBA) La bonne surprise. Vue 2D isométrique, 60fps constants, 13 pros plus Spider-Man, BO recomposée en chiptune par Manfred Linzner sur moteur GAX. C'est excellent. L'essence du gameplay est préservée, manette en main. Une des meilleures sous-versions de l'histoire de la GBA, déclinée sur sept opus de la saga par Vicarious Visions. HKR - Street Fighter 2 : The World Warrior (MS-DOS) Un traumatisme d'enfance. SF2 sorti en 1995 sur MS-DOS, quatre ans après l'arcade, alors que Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo existait déjà. Framerate catastrophique, quatre musiques en boucle pour tout le jeu, Blanca avec une sale gueule encore pire que dans l'original. Et un mapping clavier qui a oublié que Street Fighter repose sur des quarts de cercle : pas de diagonales, les combos deviennent une expérience mystique. HKR l'a relancé pour l'émission. Il le regrette. Tellement raté que c'en est fascinant. Mugen - Rayman Advance (GBA) Jeu de lancement de la GBA en juin 2001, portage de la version PlayStation par Digital Eclipse. Tout le contenu y est, les graphismes sont magnifiques, les mécaniques préservées. Sauf les musiques, unanimement catastrophiques : l'équipe recommande de lancer un podcast à côté dès le premier niveau. Sur le fond, c'est Rayman : un platformer brillant et affreusement difficile, avec des cages cachées que seule une combinaison de sauts, plané et grappin permet d'atteindre. Mugen l'a poncé à l'époque, malgré les oreilles. Name dropping collectif : Metal Gear Solid PC, FF7 et FF8 PC, Ratatouille PSP, Gran Turismo PSP, Dead Space Extraction Wii, Dead Rising Chop Till You Drop, Batman Arkham sur Switch, Soul Calibur 2 sur PS2, Rise of the Tomb Raider 360, Tony Hawk sur GBA, Les Sims sur GBA, King Kong sur DS, Ghostbusters Wii, Prince of Persia Les Sables du Temps GBA… Jeux évoqués : Unreal Tournament 99 (PS2, Dreamcast), Forza Horizon 2 (Xbox 360), MediEvil Resurrection (PSP), Medal of Honor Underground (GBA), WWE 2K18 (Switch), Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (GBA), Metal Gear Solid (PC), Final Fantasy VII & VIII (PC), Ratatouille (PSP), Gran Turismo (PSP), Dead Space Extraction (Wii), Dead Rising Chop Till You Drop (Wii), Soul Calibur 2 (PS2), Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox 360), Prince of Persia Les Sables Oubliés (Wii), Dragon Quest XI (3DS), Hogwarts Legacy (Switch), King Kong (DS) Intervenants : Mugen, Ace Bunny, Brad, Pedro, HKRMontage et mixage : Ace_BunnyTechnique, diffusion et hébergement : Mugen_Pascal

This is a special episode because this is my fresh, hot, and first watch of Beetlejuice. Yes, you read that right. I am a child of the 80s and somehow I have skated through life without seeing this movie. In the episode I explain how and why. Since it's October spooky season, Mikey is along for the ride as an expert in all things scary and/or comedy. I'm here to report that I loved it and I sincerely think that we all identify with Lydia. I feel like I've been channelling her my whole life without knowing it. We get into the amazing FASHION, the stacked cast, and how I was shocked to find out that Beetlejuice was a sleazy salesman and all around weirdo. off-topic rants include: Terminator series, new horror, Tales from the Crypt *released on October 10,2024 Winona Vogue Interview: https://youtu.be/IH1CwEE1QWM?siZRyy5B5jvVZKHG -- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the Patreon!

durée : 00:10:16 - Le Point culture - par : Sophie-Catherine Gallet - L'univers du cinéaste Tim Burton est très reconnaissable, au point qu'un adjectif a été construit à partir de son nom, le style burtonien. Ces films proposent des récits peuplés de monstres pas si effrayants que ce qu'ils laissent penser et dans lesquels un certain sens de l'humour affleure souvent. - réalisation : Laurence Malonda - invités : Elsa Colombani Critique de cinéma et docteure en Lettres et Littératures anglophones
Just as they did on Episode 147, so they are doing so again on Episode 149 as the Film ‘89 team travel back in time to 1966, this time to celebrate the 60th anniversary of both a film and television show that, for a brief two-year period, was a worldwide phenomenon. Starring Adam West and Burt Ward, the television show is of course, Batman, and it would then transition to the big screen with 1966's Batman: The Movie. Skye and returning co-hosts John Arminio and Martin Kessler, explore what made the show such a hit and take a deep dive into a film that pits the Dynamic Duo against not one, but four of their most heinous super-criminal nemeses, The Penguin, The Joker, Catwoman and The Riddler. For those weaned on darker takes on the character from the likes of Frank Miller, Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan, this take on Batman will seem like a garish, high camp, and therefore barely recognisable iteration, but sixty years on, the show and movie still have a huge and loyal following. So slide down the Bat-poles, set atomic batteries to power, turbines to speed and join us in a celebration of ‘60s Batman.
This week, we have a special treat for you, as we are joined by Legendary makeup artist Ve Neill!

Hay películas que te atrapan por determinados motivos, por su estética, por su música, por su acción. Big Fish es una película que desde el primer momento me atrapó por su corazón. Un cuento moderno que, de la mano de Tim Burton, nos va a presentar a este mentiroso maravilloso interpretado de forma excepcional por Albert Finney y por el absolutamente carismático Ewan McGregor y que nos llevan a lo largo de todo el metraje por la historia de su vida, mientras su hijo trata de descubrir quién es realmente este hombre, este “cuenta cuentos”. Si esta película tiene además una cualidad excepcional es que absolutamente todas las personas con las que he hablado y la han visto coincidimos que tiene la maravillosa virtud de atraparte, pellizcarte el corazón y que termines con una sonrisa de oreja a oreja y un mar de lágrimas saliendo de tus ojos y doy gracias de haberla descubierto en su momento sin saber que me iba a encontrar al verla, porque hizo que el camino fuera, de principio a fin, una auténtica sorpresa a disfrutar. Adentrarte en esos parajes, esos pueblos, conocer a cada uno de los personajes, a cada cual más maravilloso que el anterior y por supuesto descubrir junto a Edward al amor de su vida. Por eso, sin contarte más historias, te invito a ti, amigo de Carne de Videoclub a que nos acompañes a tres personajes excepcionales como son el hombre que más discos del mundo, Domingo DarkVinyl, el hombre que cruzo el mundo corriendo sin parar a descansar, Champi y el que aquí os escribe el hombre que dio la idea a un tal Walt de dibujar un Ratón con guantes, Pablo López.

This week, we're chatting about the Tim Burton fantasy Big Fish! We talk about bummer b-plots (that really should have been more of the film), how Jessica Lange singlehandedly sells the romance, and how glad we are that this movie didn't star a de-aged Jack Nicholson (really). Produced by Andrew Ivimey as part of The From Superheroes Network Visitwww.FromSuperheroes.com for more podcasts, articles, video series, web comics, and more.
No more Tim Burton! Now its time.for Joel Schumacher to have a turn. He took it back to Batman 66' with a dash of BatmanTAS and its coated in 90's awesome! Don't ask about how comic accurate it is, WE GOT JIM CARREY!!! #Batman #JimCarrey #DCComics
From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above.Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.A puppet rock opera returnsAzure Anderson of St. Paul is an artist, musician, and podcaster, and she's a huge fan of Phantom Chorus Theatre. They are re-mounting the founders' 2019 production of “Razia's Shadow,” a puppet rock opera. The production contains 12 songs by Forgive Durden, performed live, with a new cast of puppet characters ranging in size from two to eight feet.The show runs April 10–25 at the Hive Collaborative in St. Paul. In-person and live-streamed tickets are available. While not designed as a children's show, Anderson says the show is recommended for ages six and older due to a few spooky elements; if your child enjoys Tim Burton's film “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” this show should be a good fit.Having seen all Phantom Chorus's productions for the past three years, Anderson raves about them.Azure says: “The visuals are always incredible. The music's always incredible. And the technical aspect never misses.— Azure AndersonSewing and style at Twin Cities FrocktailsFor Hannah Olanrewaju of St. Paul, sewing means community. She's looking forward to Twin Cities Frocktails, an evening event where attendees are invited (though not required) to wear clothes they made themselves. This year's theme is “Making Through the Decades.” Frocktails takes place 6 to 10 p.m., Saturday, April 11 at Steady Pour in Minneapolis.Hannah describes the vibe of the first Frocktails in 2024.Hannah says: There's something so uniquely wonderful about being in a room with people who've made at least one part of their outfit and can really speak the same language as you do. And so, I remember walking around with my bingo sheet and getting to know people and where they're from. They're asking you about your outfit, and you're asking them about their outfit. And so by the end of the night, you're saying goodbye to all these people that you've really never met before, but now, you're finding ways to keep in touch. I think that's something that's so beautiful about Frocktails and about sewing, specifically, that I don't think I've been able to find anywhere else.— Hannah OlanrewajuPoetry and community in RochesterJohn Sievers is a trombonist from Rochester, but tonight, he's looking forward to an event that celebrates poetry. The Southeastern Minnesota Poets will hold their next Bright Lights Poetry Night tonight at 6:30 p.m. at the historic Chateau Theatre. The theme of tonight's reading is “Emergence.”John says: This event is really a community event that is encouraging people to come together as people who are interested in language and words and poetry. And I just love the fact that I can hear people from my community sharing their deep thoughts about important themes in today's society.— John Sievers

You know a performance is iconic when a simple phrase like “Kevin!” or “Fold in the cheese, David” can immediately bring a detailed image to your mind… and a smile to your face. Such is the case with beloved actress and comedian Catherine O'Hara, who passed away on January 30, and to whom we pay tribute in this podcast. What young comedian (who would go on to become famous) helped Catherine get her start at Second City? How did renowned director Tim Burton play matchmaker for Catherine on the “Beetlejuice” set? What was the actress's breakout Hollywood role, and what title did it earn her? How did Catherine create the quirky but lovable character Moira Rose, and what role did Catherine say she would most like to be remembered for? We discuss all this and more.

McDonald's killed Batman. Then Warner Brothers buried him in neon. After Batman Returns traumatized parents and Christian groups, McDonald's panicked and pulled their Happy Meal deal. Warner Brothers, terrified of losing fast food merchandising money, forced a course correction that gave us Batman Forever—a neon-soaked, toyetic mess that abandoned Tim Burton's gothic vision for Joel Schumacher's campy, pun-filled nightmare. In this 10th anniversary episode of the Cinema Psychos Show, hosts Cottington and John Wooliscroft do a full Batman Forever fix and Batman Forever review—ranting about everything from the nipple suit to Jim Carrey's Riddler (Ace Ventura in green spandex) and Tommy Lee Jones sleepwalking as Two-Face. But they don't just roast it. They pitch alternate Batman 3 sequels: one that continues the Burton-verse with Catwoman and Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent, and one that keeps Robin but replaces the camp with Scarecrow as the real psychological threat. They also debate the legendary Schumacher cut, expose the Batman Returns McDonald's controversy, and explain why Batman Forever—not Batman & Robin—started the franchise's death spiral. If you're a Batman fan, a 90s kid drowning in nostalgia, or just love cult film analysis with a comedic, rant-heavy edge, this episode is your Batman Forever alternate version.

Not that anybody asked but this week we dusted off the DVDs and redrew the storyboards because we're figuring out our Top 3 Cancelled Shows That Need An Animated Series. Inspired by the news that Firefly is once again refusing to stay cancelled, we're asking which shows deserve a second life but with fewer limits and a lot more animated chaos. Which cult classics would actually thrive without budgets, sets, or reality getting in the way? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect a world where Tim Burton was happy, Nero's purple marble bathtub and having the same favourite dinosaur.You can become a friend of the podcast over at Patreon where you can get bonus episodes, swag and the knowledge you're helping to keep the podcast goingYou can buy our merch over at TeepublicFollow us on Instagram thepodcastnobodyaskedforFollow us on Threads: @thepodcastnobodyaskedforFollow us on Bluesky: @thepodcastnobodyaskedfor.co.ukFollow us on TikTok: @nobodyasked4podLeave us a review, including any ideas you have for future episodes on Apple Podcast or Podchaser Hosted on Acast.

It's April Fool's Day* and the Joker has led an inmate revolt of Arkham Asylum! In 1989, Tim Burton's Batman was the year's hottest movie, and fans took to comic book shops and bookstores starving for more Dark Knight content. What they found was…a dense, 128-page experimental narrative featuring terrifying expressionist paint and artwork with a story crammed with allusions to the Tarot, Passion plays, St. George the Dragonslayer, and Carl Jung. Was this an April's Fools prank DC was pulling on new readers? Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth has been praised as a brilliant psychological-horror take on Batman by some and a pretentious mess by others; even writer Grant Morrison and artist Dave McKean don't see eye to eye! It's a graphic novel open to interpretation, and we'll guide you through a bunch of possible readings, unpack some symbolism, and use the book's subtitle to unlock the ambition behind one of the strangest Batman stories ever told.* No really, check your calendarCONTENT WARNINGS: Lurid and sensationalist approaches to the concepts of mental health and “insanity,” as well as other disturbing topics befitting a “mature readers” graphic novel.

Then, drag legend The Countess Katya Smirnoff-Skyy stops by to pay tribute to the indisputable legacy of the iconic Catherine O'Hara. From sandworms to sentient shrimp cocktails, this episode has it all!

We skywatchers finally have a legal team armed for battle. Three attorneys. Three law firms. ( With probably more joining in. ) Now fighting for us, We the People, to combat geoengineering. Attorney Blake Horowitz @HorwitzLawFirm tells as what we can do to help them fight our battles. We are all in this together. We all breathe the same air:Geoengineering 101 For Legislators in two minutes. Shouldn't they have a responsibility to help expose and halt what is taking place in our skies? If not stopped soon, nothing else will matter.Egyptian Coptic Christian explains how Egypt became Muslim: “We are one of the first Christians in the world. Islam took over by the sword. They killed the men, raped the women, enslaved the children Egypt went from 0% to 90% Muslim. It's a cult of sex, perversion and violence.”Iranian man warns that Sharia law starts with unity between the left and Islamists. Pay attention to what he's saying. The same alliance between the left and Islam that is happening in the West happened in Iran decades ago. That's how Iran became an Islamic theocracy.A CBS reporter in Austin, Texas, is being massively praised after refusing to follow a text message from his superior telling him not to focus on a massive crowd praising President Trump's actions in Iran. “They don't want us to focus on this.” “Well, I am.”
Our Celebrity News starts with a Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, your favorite daily comedy show where deep philosophical questions last about 90 seconds before turning into chaos.Today's episode starts deceptively thoughtful: What genre is your life? Comedy? Horror? Rom-com? Greek tragedy? Straight-to-DVD disappointment? The crew breaks it down in the only way they know how — by roasting each other, name-dropping directors, and somehow landing on Tim Burton, Judd Apatow, Michael Bay, and Tommy Wiseau in the same breath.From there, things escalate fast. The gang debates the worst Super Bowl halftime show of all time, re-litigates Maroon 5's shirtless crimes against humanity, and tries (and fails) to agree on whether Bad Bunny, Kid Rock, or literally anyone else should be allowed near a halftime stage ever again. Spoiler: nobody wins.For you music nerds get fed too. KISS casually hits one billion YouTube views, Queen's touring future sparks debate, Aerosmith dreams are manifested aggressively, and a wild Paste Magazine “Top Guitarists of All Time” list sends the room into full disbelief when legends are left off and Prince reigns supreme.There's also real-world stuff mixed into the madness — heartfelt tributes, shocking news updates, and moments where the show accidentally becomes emotional before immediately undercutting it with jokes (as tradition demands).Basically, this daily comedy show has everything:Existential life questionsSuper Bowl halftime rageRock music historyQuestionable celebrity listsAccidental documentaries about being humanAnd the reminder that everyone's life is probably a comedy… just shot very poorlyIf you're here for a funny podcast, a daily show that refuses to stay on topic, or a comedy podcast that feels like your group chat came to life on the radio — congratulations, you're home.Stick around, subscribe, and prepare to question what genre your life is… while we absolutely do not fix ours.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MOSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
