This week our retro movie review continues looking back at the 1941 Universal horror classic The Wolf Man starring Lon Chaney, Jr. While this is perhaps my least favorite of the Universal Pictures horror classics it did lay down the lore for much of what we know as the werewolf mythology.  The movie does have its good points also and today host Karl from When It Was Cool talks The Wolf Man (1941).

It's 50 years since the original Jaws film was released in cinemas across America. The movie premiered on 20 June 1975. Directed by a young Steven Spielberg, who was relatively unknown at the time, it was considered Hollywood's pioneering summer blockbuster. The thriller broke records by becoming the first movie to gross over $100 million at the US box office and made millions of people afraid to go into the water. Carl Gottlieb, who co-wrote the screenplay, looks back at guiding the chaotic production into cinematic history. Produced and presented by Megan Jones.

fWotD Episode 2968: Jaws (film) Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 20 June 2025, is Jaws (film).Jaws is a 1975 American thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg. Based on the 1974 novel by Peter Benchley, it stars Roy Scheider as police chief Martin Brody, who, with the help of a marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss) and a professional shark hunter (Robert Shaw), hunts a man-eating great white shark that attacks beachgoers at a summer resort town. Murray Hamilton plays the mayor, and Lorraine Gary portrays Brody's wife. The screenplay is credited to Benchley, who wrote the first drafts, and actor-writer Carl Gottlieb, who rewrote the script during principal photography.Shot mostly on location at Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts from May to October 1974, Jaws was the first major motion picture to be shot on the ocean and consequently had a troubled production, going over budget and schedule. As the art department's mechanical sharks often malfunctioned, Spielberg decided to mostly suggest the shark's presence, employing an ominous and minimalist theme created by composer John Williams to indicate its impending appearances. Spielberg and others have compared this suggestive approach to that of director Alfred Hitchcock. Universal Pictures released the film to over 450 screens, an exceptionally wide release for a major studio picture at the time, accompanied by an extensive marketing campaign with heavy emphasis on television spots and tie-in merchandise.Regarded as a watershed moment in motion picture history, Jaws was the prototypical summer blockbuster and won several awards for its music and editing. It was the highest-grossing film of all time until the release of Star Wars two years later; both films were pivotal in establishing the modern Hollywood business model, which pursues high box-office returns from action and adventure films with simple high-concept premises, released during the summer in thousands of theaters and advertised heavily. Jaws was followed by three sequels (none of which involved Spielberg or Benchley) and many imitative thrillers. In 2001, the Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. The film is available on DVD, Blu-ray, and Ultra HD Blu-ray; it was previously distributed on VHS and Betamax.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:16 UTC on Friday, 20 June 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Jaws (film) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Emma.

Aujourdʹhui jʹarrête de fumer, jʹarrête de boire, je fais du sport, je fais un régime, jʹarrête mon régime et surtout jʹarrête de faire des listes et je relis le Journal de Bridget Jones. Bridget Jonesʹs Diary, le Journal de Bridget Jones, est une comédie britannique réalisée par Sharon Maguire, sortie en 2001. Cʹest lʹadaptation cinématographique réussie du bestseller, le roman du même nom dʹHelen Fielding, publié lui en 1996. A lʹécran, Hugh Grant, utilisé à contre-emploi dans le rôle dʹun salaud séducteur et infidèle, Colin Firth en anglais morose et discret et surtout Renée Zellweger en Bridget Jones. Oui, une Américaine, une Texane qui plus est, qui incarne lʹAnglaise la plus pulpeuse du moment, voilà de quoi créer un mini scandale Outre-Manche. Mais la comédienne américaine se donne à fond, prend du poids, apprend à se comporter comme une anglaise, et ça marche. Crédible, elle rallie tous les suffrages et fait de cette comédie romantique un classique. Classique, le mot nʹest pas trop fort, car en 2001, chacune et chacun peut se retrouver dans ce personnage un peu pataud, qui rêve de grand amour comme une midinette tout en assumant un côté femme forte. Surtout, elle navigue courageusement dans sa trentaine entre désillusions amoureuses, régimes, boulot, parents envahissants et amitiés débordantes. Saura-t-elle maitriser le chaos de sa vie affective, et celui quʹelle provoque systématiquement, cʹest là tout lʹenjeu du livre et du film. Véritable phénomène de société, le Journal de Bridget Jones est un coup de maitre, le passage réussi dʹun livre à lʹécran. Entre 2001 et 2002, le films est sélectionné 40 fois dans divers festivals et remportera 8 récompenses trouvant ainsi sa place dans lʹhistoire du cinéma. Ne reste plus quʹà nous plonger dans le quotidien hilarant et déprimant de Bridget en comptant les mégots, les calories, les verres dʹalcool et les amants.

Send us a textDo you remember Streets of Fire from 1984? We don't. Not really. Especially after watching the trailer and wondering if this movie is a Musical or 90 minute music video. The cast is stacked with a young Diane Lane and maniacal looking Willem Dafoe. The hero, Michael Pare looks Hero-Like with his smoldering good looks, motorcycle riding, shotgun toting aesthetic. So this is going to be very good or very bad and we can't wait. Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
