Podcasts about Toro

We wrap up 2025 and Season 10 of Radio Labyrinth with a special guest and a little reflection. This week we're joined by Emmy-winning special effects artist Lee Romaire, whose work spans film, television, and cutting-edge animatronics. Lee talks practical effects, realism in creature design, and his work connected to Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein — plus why physical effects still matter in a CG-heavy world. Since this is S10-Ep50, we also look back at some of our favorite guests of the year and talk about what's ahead as we roll into Season 11.

DIALOGUES: Short Cuts to First Features" is a Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) Industry program featuring conversations with emerging directors who transitioned from making acclaimed short films (Short Cuts alumni) to directing their debut features, sharing insights on script development, collaboration, and overcoming challenges to build their filmmaking careers. It's a key part of the TIFF Industry Conference, focusing on practical advice and inspiration for filmmakers aiming to make that crucial jump to feature-length projects.  I had the grand pleasure to join alumni directors of TIFF Short Cuts and Industry Talent, Lloyd Lee Choi (Lucky Lu), Sasha Leigh Henry (Dinner with Friends), Taratoa Stappard (Mārama), and Eva Thomas (Nika & Madison), as they discuss their journeys from making short films to developing and directing their first features. Learn how they honed their scripts, found the collaborators and supporters they needed, and coped with practical challenges while protecting their creative visions. Lloyd Lee Choi is a Korean-Canadian filmmaker based in Brooklyn. He has directed the short films Same Old (22), which played the Festival, and Closing Dynasty (23). Earlier this year he received the TIFF–CBC Films Screenwriter Award for his screenplay Yakult Ajumma. Lucky Lu (25) is his feature film debut. Sasha Leigh Henry is a Toronto-based writer, director, and producer. Her short films include Love Bent (14), To Love and Back (16), Bitches Love Brunch (18), and the Festival Official Selection Sinking Ship (20).

Taratoa Stappard was born in Aotearoa and lives in London. He has directed the shorts Eight for Eight Thirty (96), Strip (98), Euston Road (04), Goalie (16), and Emkhatsini: Between (18). Mārama (25), his latest film, is his feature debut. Eva Thomas is a writer and filmmaker from Walpole Island First Nation based in Wallaceburg, Ontario. Her production credits include the Festival Official Selections Night Raiders (21) and Kaniehtiio Horn's Seeds (24).

Merry Frankensteinian Christmas from Jay of the Dead's New Horror Movies, The Christmas Morning of Horror Movie Podcasts! Releasing on December 25, 2025, the festive Horror Avengers bring you a magnificent monster mash stitched together from October and November recordings and joyfully re-gifted as a full-blown holiday special. This memorable episode earns its place in show history by featuring one Horror Avenger's Specialty Segment twice(!) in the same episode! While holiday lights glow and carols echo, your favorite hosts chime in interstitially with seasons greetings. Nearly everyone shows up to celebrate (with a couple of absences blamed on a suspicious trip to the dog track). The entire affair is capped by Jay's own original dark Christmas carol, "The Tiny King," a grim yet hopeful closer that might be the closest thing to a Horror Christmas carol. The episode itself is packed tighter than Santa's sack, har har, with new Horror movie reviews recorded "in the field," classic black-and-white chills, and a centerpiece deep dive into Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein — complete with a clear spoiler warning for listeners. Jay of the Dead, Dr. Walking Dead, Dr. Shock, Gillman Joel, and Mackula gather around the slab to debate monsters, their meaning, and modern myth-making, while Mackula's enthusiasm climbs sky-high in true festive fashion across the episode's classic and contemporary picks. From an in-person recording of Jay and Dr. Bishop as they review "Shelby Oaks" and "Dream Eater" inside Jay's car together — to vintage chills and a surprisingly merry detour into "Predator: Badlands" — Episode 174 feels like a snowy marathon of bolts, bells, snowballs, and body parts — equal parts reverent, ridiculous, and heartfelt. By the time the bubble lights stop bubbling and the final notes of "The Tiny King" fade out, listeners are left with a warm glow, a few scorch marks, and the firm belief that this really is The Gold Standard of Holiday Horror Movie Podcasts.

KCAA: Water Zone by Toro on Thu, 25 Dec, 2025

Antes de despedir el 2025 y levantar la copa por Año Nuevo, en Cafeína x Sopitas hacemos un recuento claro, directo y sin azúcar de uno de los años más intensos en México.Fue un año marcado por protestas y movilizaciones: taxistas, repartidores, personal de salud, campesinos, transportistas y el Poder Judicial salieron a las calles por reformas, despidos, inseguridad y falta de recursos.También fue un 2025 donde la censura y los abusos de poder estuvieron al centro del debate: disculpas públicas forzadas, castigos a periodistas, intentos de criminalizar la crítica en redes sociales y casos que parecían exageración… pero fueron reales.Pero no todo fue enojo. Hubo buenas noticias que nos devolvieron tantita fe: la hazaña de Isaac del Toro en el Giro d'Italia, triunfos deportivos históricos, reconocimientos internacionales para talento mexicano y proyectos comunitarios que sí hicieron la diferencia.También recordamos los momentos que nos rompieron el corazón: tragedias, violencia e inundaciones que evidenciaron lo frágil que sigue siendo la vida diaria en el país.Y claro, el caos cultural: conciertos imposibles, boletos del Mundial, regresos legendarios, festivales, memes inexplicables, funas, pleitos virales y frases que se nos quedaron tatuadas todo el año.Un episodio para escuchar con cafecito en mano y cerrar el año con memoria, contexto y conversación.☕ Cafeína x Sopitas

Listen up as Matt and Ginny review Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.  Matt and Ginny will explore Matt's complex feelings towards Jacob Elrodi so it's definitely worth a listen.  

Guillermo del Toro has yet to find any boundaries when it comes to intimacy within a story or the scope of its telling. He uses genre like a stained palette, leaving residue of fusions and clear-cut influences.So it makes sense that his debut, CRONOS, is no different. Del Toro reinvents the vampire using alchemy, entomology, Gothic principles, the mixture of Medevial and Renaissance periods. But anchoring this smattering of ideas is the simplest one: the unconditional love between a grandfather and granddaughter.Jesus Gris (Federico Luppi) is a Mexican antique shop owner raising his granddaughter Aurora (Tamara Xanath). One day, they discover a golden egg-shaped device hidden in one of the shop's archangel statues. After fumbling with the device's dial, Jesus is wounded when the Cronos machine pops out sharp, insect-like legs and latches itself into his hand, Facehugger-style. What starts as mere accident lingers in Jesus' mind as he finds himself not only drawn to the device but also its method of doling out pain. The more Jesus uses the Cronos device, the more vivacious and young he feels. But this newfound rejuvenation comes with an aching appetite for flesh, for blood.CRONOS introduces many of the subjects found throughout Del Toro's 30+ year career: death, fatherhood, the clash between an archaic past and promising future, Ron Perlman. It sometimes feels as though the movie is incapable of holding all the thought that went into its world's development but that's part of what I enjoy about Del Toro. His movies are never complete after first viewing. In a way, they're the amuse bouche to the boundless mind that hides beneath, a mere foyer to a curious mansion.---Please rate and review The Movies wherever you listen to podcasts!Financially support the show using the tip jar.Follow The Movies on Instagram & Letterboxd

Quico Toro joins to discuss Charlatans: How Grifters, Swindlers, and Hucksters Bamboozle the Media, the Markets, and the Masses, distinguishing the "parasitic" nature of the charlatan from the hit-and-run tactics of the scammer. He traces the lineage of the grift from the official alchemists of 16th-century Venice to the upsell tactics of Trump University, arguing that loneliness and the internet have created a "target-rich environment" for swindlers. Then, a pivot to the environment: Mike and Quico debate whether the "green halo" around solar and wind constitutes its own form of elite misinformation, and why the villainization of nuclear energy—and the partisanship of climate policy—has stalled real progress.

Ahondamos en la historia de la lotería, desde la antigua China a la Primitiva o el Cuponazo y nos centramos en la celebración del sorteo de la Lotería de Navidad con sus niños de San Ildefonso y frikis en el Teatro Real y sus anuncios, así como el devenir de agraciados anónimos y famosos como la reina Letizia o Guillermo del Toro. No olvidamos el sorteo de la ONCE con su versión televisiva y la inmortal Carmen Sevilla con sus ovejitas y muchas otras referencias pop. Cine con Despertando a Ned, Villaviciosa de al lado o Te puede pasar a ti y tele con Me llamo Earl, la serie Lotería y un sinfín de capítulos de series como Lost, Los Simpson, Farmacia de guardia o Roseanne.

Season 9, Episode 19 (Originally released on December 18th, 2025) Hello and welcome to another episode of The Shame List Picture Show. Today, Jason Hillman returns to the pod to talk Frankenstein — not just Guillermo del Toro's latest opus, but the monster and myth across its many adaptations. Michael and Jason wax philosophically on what works (and doesn't) in Frankenstein on film. Spoiler: Michael is far more forgiving than Jason. One point of total agreement, however, is their shared love for Kenneth Branagh's Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. We dig into all of it.

The result was the Montecristo M. The Montecristo M is a limited-production line because of the availability of the 20-year-aged wrapper.

Monströse Unterhaltung bietet uns diese Woche ganz ohne Monster die neue Frankenstein-Verfilmung von Guillermo del Toro, der mindestens so bildgewaltig, dafür aber nicht ganz so blutig wie Spartacus - House of Ashur aufwartet und sich mit der dritten, angenehmen aber etwas überflüssigen Staffel von Hjem til Jul die dänischsprechenden Nebendarsteller teilt. Bob druckt derweil Pappkarton-Sägen.

Send us a textA stitched body, a sharpened mind, and a creator who won't claim what he made. We dive into Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein on Netflix with fresh eyes and full hearts, exploring how the film restores Mary Shelley's original genius while reshaping a century of monster-movie expectations. From the icebound framing device to the creature's own testimony, the story gives the “monster” his voice back—and with it, a moral authority that turns the tables on Victor.We talk about the texture of creation: the unsettling, hyper-real gore that makes every cut feel consequential, and the cinematography tricks that make key encounters float with eerie grace. Oscar Isaac's Victor is magnetic and cold, driven by ambition he can't control, while Jacob Elordi's creature evolves from bewildered newborn to eloquent judge, his slender, powerful frame reading as reassembled personhood instead of prop. Mia Goth's Elizabeth cuts through the gloom with presence that grounds the stakes. We also trace Del Toro's love of cinema history, from the inclusion of an Igor archetype to the blend of gothic realism that separates his style from the baroque and the camp.The heart of the episode is the ethics: What do we owe what we create? If the creature is functionally immortal, does denying him a companion become the cruelest act? We follow the thread of generational harm—from Victor's father to Victor himself—and the way indifference breeds monstrosity more reliably than lightning ever could. It's not a perfect film; the pacing stretches in places. But the ideas, performances, and design make this a rare adaptation that feels both faithful and new.If you love smart horror, literary roots, and craft on screen, hit play.

During the early days of Black Label Trading Company, James Brown built a reputation for bold, dark wrapper brands.

Graeme Faulds is the CEO of Bipsync, a leading provider of modern research management software. Graeme spent 15 years as a private markets investor before building and selling his first fintech company, then ultimately stepping into the CEO role at Bipsync in 2023. Bipsync works with clients across the investment management industry, from allocators like endowments, foundations, pension funds, and family offices to GPs including hedge funds and private equity managers, helping investors capture, structure, and leverage collective intelligence at scale. For those familiar, we had Annie Kerns and Blake Fischer from UVA's endowment on a previous episode to discuss how and why they selected Bipsync and that replay is in the feed. In our conversation, Graeme explains why organizing unstructured research has been Bipsync's focus for more than a decade and how that foundation underpins everything they're doing with AI. We talk about what's real versus hype in AI, what a “good” data strategy and governance model actually looks like, and how roles are shifting as allocators hire more technical talent to design schemas, own data quality, and use tools like Bipsync's Toro directly into research workflows.

The film stars Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the Creature, with Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz in supporting roles. The story follows the life of Frankenstein, an egotistical scientist whose experiment in creating new life results in dangerous consequences.Del Toro had long imagined a faithful Frankenstein film as a "dream project". This was initially in development for Universal Pictures, with del Toro casting frequent collaborator Doug Jones as the Creature, and Bernie Wrightson being considered for the monster's design. However, Universal suspended the project in relation to its planned Dark Universe franchise. Netflix revived the project in 2023, with Elordi instead portraying the Creature. Filming took place from February to September 2024. Wrightson had died in 2017, and the illustrated compilation Bernie Wrightson's Frankenstein was a key inspiration for the film's look.Frankenstein premiered at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on August 30, 2025. It had a limited theatrical release in the United States from October 17 and was globally released on November 7 on Netflix. The film received generally positive reviews from critics. Both the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute named it as one of the top ten films of 2025. It received five nominations at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, including Best Motion Picture – Drama.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Rebecca chats with Jacob Elordi, who plays the creature in Guillermo del Toro's moving film. He reveals how he prepared for the unique role, his biggest concerns with the hours-long prosthetics process, and why it was, in a way, a religious experience. "I suppose maybe it takes a mask sometimes for people to see the truth of something," he says of his experience. Plus. the Australian actor talks about filming the third season of Euphoria, and reflects on how his career has transformed since the first season of HBO's hit series.
