På 90-talet var hon Hollywoods bäst betalda kvinnliga skådespelare. På 00-talet var hon uträknad. Vid 62 års ålder kom hon tillbaka i sitt livs roll. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. Med filmer som Ghost, På heder och samvete, Ett oanständigt förslag, och Skamgrepp var Demi Moore ett av filmvärldens största dragplåster under 1990-talet.Men när hon stod på toppen av sina karriär, och krävde lika hög ersättning som sina manliga skådespelarkollegor, blev hon kallad girig. Plötsligt vände allt för Moore, som gick från stekhet till iskall i Hollywood.P3 ID om Demi Moore är berättelsen om uppgång, fall, och återuppståndelse.Efter en tumultartad barndom slog Moore igenom som 19-åring i såpoperan General Hospital. Sprit, knark, vilda fester och snabba nätter på motorcykel genom Los Angeles tog vid. I slutet av 80-talet blev hon och Die Hard-stjärnan Bruce Willis Hollywoods starkast lysande ”power couple”, och därefter tycktes inget kunna hejda Moores klättring till biotoppen.Men knivarna var vässade, redo att stickas in vid minsta felsteg...Över två decennier efter att hennes superstjärnestatus punkterats klev Moore för första gången in i filmvärldens absoluta finrum, när filmen The Substance skapade svallvågor i Cannes. Rollen som den bedagade och ratade Hollywooddrottningen Elisabeth Sparkle låg spöklikt nära Demi Moores egna erfarenheter, och hon hissades till skyarna för sin tolkning.För första gången nämndes Moores namn på allvar i Oscarssammanhang, en halv livstid efter att hon en gång haft den amerikanska filmindustrin i sin hand.Medverkande: Olga Ruin, chefredaktör för filmtidskriften FLM, Anne Thompson, kritiker på sajten Indiewire.Klippen i programmet är hämtade från: ABC News, NPR, CNBC, Red Table Talk, Ljudboksversionen av Moores självbiografi Inside Out, Touchstone Pictures, The Late Shows Youtubekanal, Mubi, AP, Entertainment Tonight, Movieclips

Tough Guys was a Phelps family household favourite in the late 1980's and this week we take a look back at a movie long since forgotten. Tough Guys brought together two Hollywood legends, Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster, marking their seventh on-screen collaboration and injecting star power into this comedy crime caper. Directed by Jeff Kanew, who had worked with Douglas on Eddie Macon's Run, the film aimed to blend comedy and nostalgia with action. Set against the backdrop of the rapidly changing 1980s, the production team leaned into the contrast between the golden age of Hollywood and the modern era, using this as a thematic anchor. Filming primarily took place in Los Angeles, utilizing both urban settings and iconic locations to underscore the characters' struggle to adapt to contemporary life. The film was produced by Touchstone Pictures, a subsidiary of Disney, which aimed to target a slightly more mature audience with its blend of lighthearted humor and action. Douglas and Lancaster, already familiar with each other's rhythms and dynamics, brought a natural chemistry to their roles, making their performances one of the film's standout elements. Composer James Newton Howard provided a score that balanced upbeat, jazzy tunes with more sentimental pieces to reflect the characters' journey. This movie was a fond farewell to the screen partnership of Douglas and Lancaster, celebrating their enduring legacy in cinema.

Struggling to adjust to the modern world of the 1980s, the duo quickly realise that society has moved on without them, and their old-school ways no longer fit in. Despite their attempts to go straight, the allure of one final heist proves irresistible as they plot to steal the same train they hijacked decades ago. Meanwhile, a relentless parole officer and their old nemesis, now a retired police officer, are hot on their trail. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠

In a departure from martial arts or buddy cop movies, Chris has gone for the heart warming comedy from 1987, Three Men and a Baby. Three Men and a Baby was an American adaptation of the 1985 French film "Trois Hommes et un Couffin" (Three Men and a Cradle), produced by Touchstone Pictures. The casting was crucial to the film's success, bringing together Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, and Ted Danson, three popular actors whose chemistry and comedic timing were essential to the story. The film follows three bachelors who suddenly find themselves responsible for an infant left on their doorstep, leading to a series of humorous and heartwarming situations. Filming took place primarily in New York City, with a large portion of the movie set in a stylish Manhattan apartment designed to reflect the characters' bachelor lifestyles. The production team faced challenges in working with a baby on set, requiring careful coordination and patience to ensure smooth shooting schedules. Nimoy's direction focused on balancing the comedic elements with genuine moments of character development and warmth. The film's lighthearted script, combined with the engaging performances of the leads, contributed to its wide appeal. Upon its release, "Three Men and a Baby" became a box office hit, earning praise for its charming storyline and the chemistry among its stars, ultimately becoming one of the highest-grossing films of the year and solidifying its place in 1980s pop culture.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Disney released some major news this week that it will be getting rid of Genie+ and replacing it with Lighting Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, which is basically a way for them to move to a paid FastPass system.  Disney Animation and Pixar have struggled connecting with audiences lately and the number of sequels coming out has us worried if we'll ever see meaningful, original stories again. Disney needs a way to release original animated movies without the high expectations that come with Pixar.  Luckily they can look back at their own history for a solution.

For this episode, we're borrowing the No Dumb Questions framework from Ross's old “Speed Secrets” podcast. Related Trivia: This is our 25th episode! NDQ normally lives on this show's Patreon (link below), but we felt like celebrating.  This episode was produced by Mike Perlman. Jeff, Ross, and Sam are not his dads; that would be nepotism. Or the 1987 Touchstone Pictures film “Three Men and a Baby,” which starred Tom Selleck, Ted Danson, and Steve Guttenberg. Jeff would definitely be the Danson character in that scenario. Or maybe that's Ross? Sam is probably Selleck, but only because he's dreaming now, Selleck had a rad mustache in that flick and Sam has never been able to grow a proper lip rug. The one time he tried, he ended up looking like a cross between Pablo Escobar and a child hobo.

What is it about 80s-era cop movies?  Is it the wisecracks? The great villains who seem to always use fish markets as a front for their wrongdoing?  The neverending fight against corruption?  Perhaps it's as simple as appreciation for a sultry sax part.  These are the questions we aim to tackle in this week's episode, where we watch the 1989 Touchstone Pictures vehicle Turner & Hooch, directed by Roger Spottiswoodle and starring funnyman Tom Hanks,  Mare Winningham, and Coach Craig T. Nelson.  

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year is Splash, the first release from Touchstone Pictures, the late film label from Disney as it aimed to create a space for more adult fare. Splash was an immediate hit for the studio, one that defined romantic comedies and fantasies for the 80s, and features an unforgettable score from the legendary Lee Holdridge.

This week we celebrate the 40th anniversary of "Splash". This film kicked off a new phase of the Walt Disney Company's history with the launch of Touchstone Pictures, but was this the right move? Who did the studio initially want as their leads? Does the film hold up? All of that and more this week on Monoreel Radio.

If you create a satire that's so true to the thing you're satirizing that people can't be sure whether or not it's satire, does that make it a good satire or a bad satire? This question and many more won't be answered in this week's Starship Troopers episode! Insert obligatory reminder that this is not a political podcast here. *Starship Troopers © 1997 Touchstone Pictures

A spec script sitting in development hell at Touchstone Pictures, called There's Something About Mary, wouldn't be the raunchy r-rated comedy it ended up becoming.Originally written more straight, with Ted as a creepy stalker hiring a PI to track down the girl he crushed on at high school, once the Farrelly Brothers got involved, it became more of a comedy (with traces of those stalker tendencies still included) and 20th Century Fox wanted in.R-rated comedies were big business in the '80s, but by the '90s romcoms were sincere, sweet and told us that love conquered all. There's Something About Mary would not only change the formula for what a romantic comedy could be, it also ushered in the new age of R-rated raunchy, gross-out humour that would make producer/directors like Judd Apatow huge in the future.There's Something About Mary was, in essence, a trendsetter. But it never set out to be one. I would love to hear your thoughts on There's Something About Mary !CONTACT....

You leeestened. ********* A Muslim ambassador exiled from his homeland, Ahmad ibn Fadlan (Antonio Banderas) finds himself in the company of Vikings. While the behavior of the Norsemen initially offends ibn Fadlan, the more cultured outsider grows to respect the tough, if uncouth, warriors. During their travels together, ibn Fadlan and the Vikings get word of an evil presence closing in, and they must fight the frightening and formidable force, which was previously thought to exist only in legend.

This special two-part episode looking back at the first decade of Touchstone Pictures concludes with Mike and Chad analyzing the success of Touchstone films at the box office during the Eisner/Katzenberg regime, and how the "Disney Renaissance" brought the studio back to the forefront of the moviegoing public's collective mind. Finally, the co-hosts share their Top Ten favorite films from 1984 to 1994 across all three Disney divisions: Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone Pictures and Hollywood Pictures. Now...it's on to 1995!

What do you get the mermaid fanatic who has everything? Might we suggest Dick Ebert discussing the sex lives of cryptids and Gene drooling over Daryl Hannah? It's 1984's "Splash!" In this episode celebrating listener Stephanie Q's birthday, the Shat Crew praises one of the few '80s slow-motion scenes that works, applauds surprisingly well-developed characters, and worries about how long Tom Hanks would survive under the sea.  "Splash" was Touchstone Pictures' first release, allowing Disney to flex some of its adult muscles, and we're grateful. It gave us the chance to talk about The King Bee ghosting Gene on their movie date, Eugene Levy typifying the incels of the '80s, and "The Boys" venturing into utterly unwatchable territory. Through it all, we witnessed a terrific protagonist in Allen Bauer, who had his priorities straight and dove headlong into love.  SUBSCRIBE Android: https://shatpod.com/android Apple: https://shatpod.com/apple All: https://shatpod.com/subscribe CONTACT Email: hosts@shatpod.com Website: https://shatpod.com/movies Leave a Voicemail: Web: https://shatpod.com/voicemail Leave a Voicemail: Call: (914) 719-7428 SUPPORT THE PODCAST Donate or Commission: https://shatpod.com/support Shop Merchandise: https://shatpod.com/shop Theme Song - Die Hard by Guyz Nite: https://www.facebook.com/guyznite

Before moving on to Disney's 1995 slate, let's take one final look at the first ten years of Touchstone Pictures - in Part 1 of this two-part episode, Mike and Chad touch on Disney's earliest forays into live-action films, the legacy of their animated content, and Ron Miller's wish to produce films that appealed to older audiences without the "family friendly" stigma associated with the studio. Lastly, the co-hosts single out some of the Disney films from the late 1970s and early 1980s that helped spawn the need for Touchstone Pictures, such as THE BLACK HOLE, NIGHT CROSSING and TRENCHCOAT.

That's A CrimeEpisode 45: Movie Stunt Leads To Real-Life Deadly Game (1993)Jason Connell and Sal Rodriguez break down the true crime story of the Movie Stunt Leads To Real-Life Deadly Game in 1993. The original version of the Disney movie, The Program, contained a scene where several football players lay on a busy local road as a test of their courage. Soon after the film's release on September 24, 1993, several real-life teenagers began copying the stunt, which in itself is a crime, Obstruction Of Traffic. The results of those mimicking the scene were tragic and included 18-year-old Michael Shingledecker, of Polk, PA who was killed almost instantly when he and a friend were struck by a pickup truck. His friend, 17-year-old Dean Bartlett was critically injured. In another case, 17-year-old Michael Macias, of Syosset, N.Y., was put in intensive care after being hit by a car. Buena Vista & Touchstone Pictures, divisions of Walt Disney Studios, were not liable but did remove the scene from the movie.Recorded: 01-25-23Studio: Just Curious Mediahttps://www.JustCuriousMedia.com/Listen: https://ThatsACrime.buzzsprout.com/Watch:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbw014MVA3wQM8INVVe0Obw/Follow:https://www.facebook.com/ThatsACrimePodcast/https://www.instagram.com/ThatsACrimePodcast/Hosts:https://www.instagram.com/MrJasonConnell/https://www.instagram.com/SalvadorLosAngeles/#justcuriousmedia #thatsacrime #mrjasonconnell #salvadorlosangeles #truecrime #misdemeanor #murder #mystery #suspense #thriller #horror #criminal #serialkiller #thief #suspect #victim #guilty #jail #prison #moviestunt #deadlygame #theprogrammovie

Author, historian, and vintage book collector Pamela McColl tours America in 2022 speaking on the poem's vibrant legacy at dozens of museums, bookstores, and libraries. McColl presents the poem's story in a new book, Twas The Night – The Art and History of the Classic Christmas Poem. The author calls the masterpiece of juvenile fiction the most often read, recited, reprinted, and collected work in the library of English literature and considers the 200th milestone of this warm-hearted poem cause for celebration. “In compiling the material for Twas The Night – The Art and History of the Classic Christmas Poem I accessed art collections and combed through archives across America. I made fascinating discoveries including locating the only known to exist photograph of the poet Clement Clarke Moore ( New York 1779-1863) and of the home where the lines were crafted for Christmas Eve 1822.” McColl “Charles Dickens and Washington Irving may have created Christmas dinner, but it was Moore “The Poet of Christmas Eve” who gave us Santa Claus with all the trimmings.” McColl“For the very first time, the poem's own story is presented. It's a luscious, entertaining tome that took ten years to create. Bravo, author and editor, Pamela McColl! ” David Paul Kirkpatrick, American film producer and writer, former President Paramount Pictures, President Production Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone Pictures. “A delightful and informative exploration of “A Visit From St. Nicholas” for the holiday season.” Kirkus Reviews. “Whether a library is focused on art, history, popular culture, or Christmas, Twas the Night: The Art and History of the Classic Christmas Poem represents an outstanding work of literature and a compelling read the entire family can enjoy.” Diane Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review.
