This wee, Jordan and I (Sam) ask “what the devil?” of CHAINSAW MAN - THE MOVIE: REZE ARC and “does KEEPER take the cake?”, check URCHIN off the itinerantry, behold the friends of Dorothy in the Oztentatious WICKED: FOR GOOD, revisit the memory of TRAIN DREAMS, tic off I SWEAR, take an academic approach to A MAN ON THE INSIDE - SEASON 2, engage in Dek observation with PREDATOR: BADLANDS, decide whether to Blacklist THE LAST FRONTIER, reveal whether we were bewitched, bothered or bewildered by BLUE MOON, dig into THE CHAIR COMPANY and ponder alienation with BUGONIA.
Today on Script Apart – Harris Dickinson: star of films like Babygirl and Triangle of Sadness, John Lennon in the upcoming Beatles biopics from Sam Mendes, and now, a formidable presence on the other side of the camera too. Urchin, the new drama written and directed by Harris, is a feature debut that “I cannot escape and I cannot forget,” to quote the Atomic Kitten song that plays in a pivotal scene. It's a story that hit close to home for me, quite literally. Harris lives kinda down the street from where I'm from. He shot a lot of Urchin in locations I used to tread every day before moving to LA earlier this year. And as we discuss in this spoiler conversation, we've both volunteered with local organisations a stone's throw from each other, providing support to unhoused people in east London. In fact, it was while doing this volunteer work one day that Harris conjured the idea for Urchin – a story about a young man sleeping rough in Hackney, struggling with addiction and poverty, played by Frank Dillane. If that sounds like a gritty social realist drama you've seen before, well, you're only half right. Urchin takes raw ingredients from that cinematic tradition and adds big, strange, lyrical leaps that make you feel the isolation and alienation that Frank's character, Mike, feels. It all leads up to an ending that's spine-tingling. In the conversation you're about to hear, Harris and I break down key scenes and characters from the film, the real-life problems he hopes the film helps draw attention towards – and of course, Atomic Kitten, because how could we not? I hope it makes you whole again, listeners. Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

In this final review roundup before the festive season, hosts Laura Gommans and Elliot Bloom take a look at some new releases that should be on your radar this winter. Joachim Trier returns with Sentimental Value, a film about filmmaking and a tender companion to his celebrated feature The Worst Person in the World. Harris Dickerson steps behind the camera for the first time with Urchin, a striking debut anchored by a magnetic performance from Frank Dillane. Rose Byrne offers one of the most moving turns of her career as she navigates the weight of single parenthood in Mary Bronstein's If I Had Legs I Would Kick You. Finally, Left Handed Girl from Shih Ching Tsou offers a quietly affecting study of intimacy as it traces the intertwined lives of a mother and her two daughters, shaped through Tsou's long standing creative partnership with Sean Baker.Get tickets to Sentimental Value @ LAB111Get tickets to Urchin @ LAB111Get tickets to If I Had Legs I'd Kick You @ LAB111Get tickets to Left-Handed Girl @ LAB111
SUB TO THE PPM PATREON SO KLONNY GOSCH'S CORK BOARD LABOR OF LOVE CAN CONT FOR ANOTHER 100 EPISODES (AND GAIN ACCESS TO "SYSTEME ZAHAROFF II"):patreon.com/ParaPowerMappingIN CELEBRATION OF 100 EPISODES OF PPM, I am joined by SEBBE for a synchronized dive into the wilderness of mirrors that is the Balkans-trotting, death-peddling life of Basil Zaharoff, "the mystery man of Europe" whose blood money fortune rivaled those of Rockefeller and Henry Ford. We excavate how Zaharoff was a prototypical deep political figure foreshadowing more modern underworld ne'er-do-wells and sex-crazed arms traders like Jeffrey Epstein, Adnan Kashoggi, Viktor Bout, Sarkis Soghanalian, Efraim Diveroli, Robert Maxwell, etc. We also draw a number of Erik Jan Hanussen symmetries, convenient considering a likely candidate for a character partly patterned after him in Shadow Ticket.This is the first entry in the SCIF SESSIONS featuring past guests, friends, and Cork Board Cadre members. I initially planned to release a monster episode in call-in special style, but as I got a number of sessions under my belt, it became apparent that a 20 hour or so episode would be prohibitive. So instead, I will be dropping the conversations in discrete installments in between our regular programming. Lots of great material coming at you.File under: parallels with our Shadow Ticket exegesis by way of Zedzed's relationship with British intelligence and Viennese manse, which evoke MI3b agents Pips and Alf Quarrender; Zaharoff's ward Tereza Damala's amorous relations with Gabriele d'Annunzio also evoking ST; his remote cameo in Against the Day via purchasing agent Viktor Mulciber, who is pursuing the Q-Weapon at Zaharoff's behest (which harnesses time as means of violence), his latter attempts to sell it to the Japanese, and Clive Crouchmas' thwarted scheme to sex traffick the scarlet strumpet Dahlia Rideout to the Lord of War, a bribe seeking to tempt his fabled appetite for redheaded Babalonian women; Hergé, Tintin, and Basil Bazarov lampooning the int'l man of mystery; the varying accounts of Zaharoff's early life and heritage, whether Greek, Turkish, Russian Jew, etc. etc.; his criminal adolescence as a member of an arsonry gang cum fire department, a racket in Constantinople where they would burn down wealthy homes and extort payment and which is right on theme with our recent history of class violence, organized crime, racketeering, and transformismo; his time as a brothel tout; human trafficker in Galway, Ireland, sending girls to MasSUSchusetts textile mills; bigamist marrying a dame in Philly; confidence artist; etc.; there are myriad legends, some of which we'll unpack in Pt. II; all trails eventually merge with Zaharoff's employment as a Nordenfelt machine gun salesman; which leads to his relationship with machine gun manufacturer Hiram Maxim; the Rothschilds connection; PM David Lloyd George; negotiations to bribe the Young Turks and Enver Pasha into abandoning the Central Powers circa WWI; and much much more. I am doing my best to ward off burnt-outage, but I think that is sufficient for liner notes for this second. A second part, solo, and with some research revolving around a possible outcropping of the Zaharoff network amounting to a Nazi - Z i o n i s t gun running ring in Palestine in the late '30s and which I'm actually quite giddy over and which may well be relatively novel and which certainly expands upon past points of interest... will follow in the morning.

Esta semana venimos queriendo escapar Arrancamos caminando sin parar en “La larga marcha” donde en un futuro distópico un grupo de jóvenes se embarcan en una competición en la que deben caminar sin parar y si lo hacen… mueren. Adaptación de Stephen King que nos llega a los cines. De ahí nos vamos a un escape más metafórico y lírico que es elq eu padece Jennifer LAwrence tras dar a luz en “Die my love” la cinta que narra la bajada a los infiernos de la depresión post parto en los cines. También busca escapar a una reinserción el protagonista de Urchin, debut en la dirección de Harris Dickinson que muestra las dificultades de poner un pie delante de otro cuando todo va en contra tuyo. La tenemos en los cines ¿qué mejor sitio para escapar que el pasado? Eso hace una familia francesa que hereda una casa llena de historias y recuerdos de sus antepasados en “Los Colores del tiempo” drama francés que tenemos también en las carteleras. Por último debemos escapar para reencontrarnos con nuestra familia en NAvidad. Eso les pasa a los Jonas Brothers que deben reunirse con sus seres queridos tras su tour pero… la magia navideña jugará de las suyas en Disney+ Únete a nuestro grupo de Telegram: https://t.me/PodcastEnSerio Y estamos en Twitter: https://twitter.com/PodcastEnSerio ⌨️Correo: ivodelgadorivero@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/criticoenserio/?hl=en-gb
Jennifer Lawrence s'arrisca amb un paper molt cru a "Die my love", la pel
Stephen King es posiblemente el escritor más adaptado al cine. Ahora llega una nueva película sobre 'La larga marcha', la historia de esa macabra caminata en un EEUU distópico y totalitario. Es el gran estreno de la semana con permiso de Jennifer Lawrence. La actriz protagoniza 'Die my love', el salvaje thriller de Lynne Ramsay sobre la depresión posparto. Además charlamos con Harris Dickinson por su debut como director en 'Urchin' y repasamos los estrenos en español. Vuelve 'Todos los lados de la cama', hay mitología vasca en 'Gaua' y a Prime Video llega 'Belén', de Dolores Fonzi. En televisión comentamos los últimos estrenos, sí también la de Kim Kardashian, pero tenemos otras recomendaciones.

Q&A on the film Urchin with actor Frank Dillane. Moderated by Mara Webster, In Creative Company. A young addict living on the streets of London is given a shot at redemption, but his road to recovery soon curdles into a strange odyssey from which he may never escape.
Bien podría ser Guillermo del Toro el científico y su monstruo confeccionado la película que ya se puede ver en Netflix. Javier Ocaña confiesa tener poca afinidad con las películas del director mexicano y ésta le parece un intento de demasiadas cosas. Cuando algo le convence, lo que pasa después le decepciona. Además de este título, el crítico nos habla de la nueva película de David Trueba, "Siempre es invierno", que le ha parecido una película muy importante por lo que cuenta y cómo lo hace, y de la que más le ha gustado esta semana, una grata sorpresa llamada "Urchin". Es cine social con una mirada nueva, original y atrevida. El creador y director de la película es el actor Harris Dickinson que, sin llegar a la treintena, debuta de manera llamativa con esta historia de un chico de la calle
El programa de hoy lo empezamos desde el Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología, con Jaime García Cantero y Nuño Domínguez, donde hablamos sobre los despidos masivos de programadores porque la IA programa mejor y más rápido, sobre la colaboración científica entre España y China, el nuevo socio de referencia, ante el declive científico de Estados Unidos y reivindicamos la figura del fallecido Antonio García Bellido, el biólogo español más importante después de Ramón y Cajal y Severo Ochoa. Seguimos con Usted no Sabe, en la que tenemos una cita en las puertas del estadio del Rayo Vallecano para inmediatamente después coger un barco. Luego, el profesor Ocaña, nos trae las críticas sobre nuevos estrenos cinematográficos: 'Frankenstein', 'Siempre es invierno' y 'Urchin'. Y por último, hablamos sobre las tasas de basura en España.

An urchin by any other name is still a hideous creature – at least according to Philadelphia. Her views aren't readily embraced by Gage and Jessica – especially when modern day facts are presented.
For the past few years, Harris Dickinson (Babygirl,The Iron Claw, Triangle of Sadness) has built his reputation as one of the buzziest new actors.

Harris joins Tom Power to discuss the film and its exploration of cyclical, self-destructive behavior. Plus, he talks about playing John Lennon in the upcoming Beatles biopic, directed by Sam Mendes.

We're continuing to blaze a trail through the many, many movies opening on October 10 here at Breakfast All Day. Earlier this week, we reviewed TRON: ARES, A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE and KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN. Today, we discussed: ROOFMAN: Channing Tatum is ridiculously charming as a robber who escapes from prison and hides inside a Toys "R" Us store for six months. This actually happened. We enjoyed Tatum's performance, and the cast is strong, but the tone is off from indie director Derek Cianfrance. In theaters. URCHIN: Harris Dickinson makes an auspicious filmmaking debut with this gritty and intimate tale of addiction. Dickinson writes, directs and has a small supporting role, but Frank Dillane is the star as a young man trying to get clean but getting in his own way. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! This was a lengthy one since we took last week off and there's so much to discuss. Among this week's topics were "Marty Supreme," the Riyadh Comedy Festival, the Melania Trump documentary, Rush reuniting with a new drummer, and the Smashing Pumpkins smoothie at Erewhon. We're hoping to go live again next Friday, so stay tuned for details. Thanks for being with us during this busy time!

This week's Empire Podcast sees us welcome another hat-trick of wonderful guests, as Chris Hewitt has lovely chats with The Smashing Machine writer-director (and Happy Gilmore 2 villain), Benny Safdie, [24:13 - 40:39 approx] and bona fide acting legend, Malcolm McDowell, star of new WWII drama, The Partisan (please excuse the sound quality of Chris' mic); [59:42 - 1:13:48 approx] while John Nugent sits down with Urchin director, Harris Dickinson, about making his directorial debut with the acclaimed drama. [1:37:05 - 1:52:43 approx] Either side of those, Chris doesn't let a little thing like Covid-19 stop him from hosting this week, dialling in to the podbooth (again, please do forgive the odd attendant audio glitch) to have all kinds of film-related fun with Helen O'Hara and James Dyer. The trio discuss some of the best final films from acting greats, run their eyes over Urchin, Play Dirty, The Smashing Machine, and Him, and find the week's movie news to be so lacking that they wind up doing an impromptu Simpsons quiz. Oh, and James is all giddy this week, after a close encounter with none other than Taylor Swift. To find out how close she came to being on this show, or a Cats retro spoiler special, you're going to have to listen. Enjoy.

Simi Cheema talks to director and actor Harris Dickinson, about his new film Urchin. Urchin is the stunning directorial debut from Harris Dickinson, powered by an outstanding, award-winning performance from Frank Dillane. Mike (Dillane), a rough sleeper on the streets of London, is trapped in a cycle of self-destruction as he attempts to turn his life around. Moving between short-term jobs and small-time hustles, he must balance the hopeful rush of a fresh start with a past that is holding him back. By turns exhilarating and poetic, Urchin is a bold, vibrant and utterly unmissable portrait of life on the margins.

And if you're already a Vanguardista, we salute you. Our very special guest from the small screen this week is Aimee Lou Wood. The White Lotus star is back on British screens this month in ‘Film Club'—a BBC rom com that celebrates the healing power of love and, of course, movies. Wood has co-written the series too, and she sits down with Simon to unpack it. She shares what her writing debut has taught her, how she's channeling the spirit of classic rom coms and bringing back “neurotic chatterboxes falling in love”. We might even have a scoop on her next big writing project... Plus Mark reviews the week's most exciting cinema releases. First up, ‘The Smashing Machine'—Benny Safdie's UFC fighter biopic starring The Rock as you've never seen him before. Plus, the much-anticipated directorial debut from Harris Dickison—who you'll know from ‘Triangle of Sadness', ‘Scrapper', ‘Babygirl' and more. His social realist tale ‘Urchin' stars Frank Dillane as the homeless Mike—and it looks an indie treat. Last but not least, another nail-biter from Kathryn Bigelow, ‘A House of Dynamite', which charts the terrifying moments following a nuclear missile launch headed towards the US. Not soothing viewing.

This is a bittersweet day on Backstage Babble. I am proud to present my interview, recorded in January 2025, with legendary Broadway dancer and choreographer Edie Cowan. Ms. Cowan passed away on May 22, 2025 at the age of 88. It is a very sad loss for theater lovers everywhere, and I hope this interview will give you a sense of her humor, talent, and unique spark. Tune in to hear some of the stories of her wonderful career, including how the original production of OKLAHOMA inspired her love of theater, why Carol Haney selected her for FUNNY GIRL, the changes made to “Cornet Man” and “Rat-a-Tat-Tat,” replacing George Sanders with Clive Revill in SHERRY, working with a cast of veterans on the tour of FOLLIES, finding her take on the role of Lily St. Regis in ANNIE, the advice she got from Dorothy Loudon, how the whole original company of ANNIE ended up getting fired, how her role in Equity led to being involved in the MISS SAIGON conflict, how she met Howard Ashman at Indiana University, casting the Urchins in LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, choreographing “Mushnik and Son,” why the show belongs off-Broadway, how she ended up working for the State Department, and so much more. You won't want to miss this interview with a true theater veteran.
