In this intense and thrilling episode, Stuart and Jacob tackle the gripping narratives of "The Wages of Fear" and its "kinda, sorta" 1977 adaptation "Sorcerer". They delve into the harrowing journey of transporting volatile nitroglycerin through treacherous terrain, examining the character-driven drama and suspense that both films offer. How do these films explore themes of desperation, survival, and the human condition under pressure? And what makes one adaptation stand out over the other? Is it the odd synthetic soundtrack that sticks out of one like a sore thumb? Also in this episode are discussions about the perplexing title choice for "Sorcerer", their comedic take on Joe's bizarre behavior, the surprising lack of worthwhile character development in the remake, and a debate on whether they would transport volatile materials across a dangerous jungle themselves. All this and more on They Remade It! Plot Synopsis Timestamps: 19:54 - 29:03 ---------- Socials ---------- @ItRemade on X (Twitter) @theyremadeit.bsky.social on Bluesky theyremadeit@gmail.com

Our March 4K and Blu-ray podcast continues our new format of providing a Top 10 list of recommended discs for March and then a deep dive into a single topic - this month, in a parallel to last month's movie's discussion on how we consume our movies, we're looking at the value of 4K, and where we draw the line, can we stomach just watching some on Blu-ray or even Digital, do we have to have the latest box sets, and would we ever double dip in 4K?
Welcome back, movie enthusiasts, to another thrilling episode of WN Movie Talk, where we dive deep into the world of cinema. Today I embark on an exhilarating adventure as I explore two cinematic masterpieces: Henri-Georges Clouzot's 1953 classic Wages of Fear and its gripping 1970's counterpart, Sorcerer, directed by Exorcist director William Friedkin two films based on the novel Le Salaire de la peur, examining how each film approaches similar themes and plot points while maintaining its own distinct identity."Wages of Fear." A groundbreaking film of its era, immerses us in the treacherous world of four desperate men tasked with transporting nitro-glycerine across perilous terrain. We delve into the tense atmosphere, the intricate character dynamics, and the raw intensity that make this film a timeless masterpiece.But our journey doesn't stop there. We shift gears to explore William Friedkin's 1977 remake, "Sorcerer." starring Roy Schieder. A bold reinterpretation of Clouzot's original, "Sorcerer" thrusts us into a world of political unrest and moral ambiguity as four men from different walks of life are brought together by fate to undertake a harrowing mission. We analyze Friedkin's stylistic choices, the thematic layers woven throughout the narrative, and the ways in which "Sorcerer" both honours its predecessor and carves its own path.Thank you for tuning in to WN Movie Talk.

It couldn't go on the AFI list because of the A, but for thrills, it's certainly packed. Four men, including a Mario AND a Luigi, several tons of nitroglycerin, 40s era trucks and 300 miles of unforgiving terrain. What could possibly go wrong?

This week, we're getting sweaty and clenching our buttocks tightly, because we've got two renowned movies filled with tight-fisted, white-knuckled tension. The Wages of Fear (AKA Le Salaire de la Peur), from director Henri-Georges Clouzot, is a proto-action thriller from the 1950s, which takes a while getting to its set-pieces and then doesn't let up until the final frame. Twenty-some years later, William Friedkin (The French Connection, The Exorcist) decided to (not) remake it as the poorly-titled Sorcerer, updating those incredible action scenes with a massive budget and a more socio-politicial undercurrent. As always, we're here to weigh up the pros and cons of both approaches, before pitting them against one another.

Fehlermeldung: Der während der Erwartungen im Hintergrund laufende Trailer war so nicht geplant. Ich bitte diese Störung zu entschuldigen!!!!Moderator Rene Hoffmann begrüßt in der heutigen Episode 20 Gast Markus Köhler vom Podcast "Erstkontakt - Die filmische Begegnung" , der bis dato zwar ein großer Liebhaber von William Friedkins "Sorcerer" ist, aber auch aus ignoranten Gründen Henri-George Clouzots Erstverfllmung des Romanes "Le salaire de la peur" gekonnt ignoriert hat. Gut wenn man da einen Podcast hat, der sich genau um solche Versäumnisse kümmert....

WoHos!This week we are joined by our friends, Georgia and John Macey from the Comfort Films Podcast to examine two masterclasses in suspense, THE WAGES OF FEAR & SORCERER.We examine the real horror, which is, of course, capitalism, in both these films. We also look at connections to the trickster figure in the folklore of Indigenous people, a queer reading of the relationship between Mario and Luigi, Mother Nature fighting back against the bald greed of the desperate characters in both of these films.Have you seen these films?

For this episode, I am looking at two stories that involve snuff films: EVIL DEAD TRAP from Japan and THESIS / TESIS from Spain.Neither makes a whole lot of sense, but each has its brilliant charms.The kills in EVIL DEAD TRAP are great and the plot takes a serious left turn in the third act. THESIS is one of my favorite films despite some of the annoying plot holes. Everyone is a joy to behold, especially Fele Martinez, who, along with Eduardo Noriega appears in ABRE LOS OJOS, also directed by Alejandro Amenabar.Coming up next is our show about writers, as it appears our Tech Horror Ep. may have been reclaimed by the gods of the Internet. We looked at IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS and BURNING.Coming up, we have some wonderful shows with guests planned. Comfortilms Podcast will join us to talk THE WAGES OF FEAR & SORCEROR and Stefan MacDonald, From Drag Mitch to Hell will join us to talk VIDEODROME for its 40th anniversary!We will be watching WENDELL & WILD and THE UNICORN WARS next, and speaking of Amenabar, after that, THE OTHERS & POLTERGEIST.Be good and be good to each other.

Clouzot's 1953 thriller may be the ultimate bait and switch, moving from a character study of four desperate men in limbo into one of the most suspenseful films ever made. The Wages of Fear shows us the triumph of human ingenuity much like Robinson Crusoe or Castaway, but it's also a grim statement about how we all carry our deaths within us: the thing from which we try to flee every morning when we wake up is closer than we can imagine. Everything hangs by a thread, and Clouzot exposes that thread by reducing human experience to its lowest terms. That he does so in a film in which trucks move slowly and carefully–usually forbidden on the big screen–adds to the audaciousness of his vision. Join Mike and Dan for an appreciation of a film that reminds them of Seven Samurai, The Dirty Dozen, Saving Private Ryan, The French Connection, Smokey and the Bandit, Reservoir Dogs, and The Road Warrior. This movie may have a Mario and a Luigi, but there's no Rainbow Road. If you are interested in Henri-George Clouzot's life and career, check out Christopher Lloyd's book in Manchester University Press's series on French film directors. The Very Short Introductions series by Oxford University Press includes one on French Cinema; the British Film Institute's The French Cinema Book is an anthology of essays.

Rob and David talk about French existentialism and two works of brilliant but unfortunately and tragically not prolific director Henri-George Clouzot who defined the thriller genre for directors to come. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/david-koepsell/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/david-koepsell/support
Cannabis comic and activist Ngaio Bealum joins us for our SEASON TWO PREMIERE, and he's selected two movies that are real gateway drugs to classic cinema. Both films are tense AF depictions of desperate men trying to pull off that one last score. Both movies were also made by domineering filmmakers, so, as Ngaio says, this could have been our asshole director episode. First up, is THE KILLING (1956), a cutting-edge noir from a young Stanley Kubrick making his first Hollywood studio film. Made on a shoestring budget, Kubrick still shows more than mere glimpses of his future promise with overlapping timelines, a camera that appears to move through walls and furniture, and brutal violence that is still shocking today. Backing Kubrick is a noir who's who with Sterling Hayden putting together an intricate racetrack heist, Timothy Carey AKA God Hilliard as a deranged hitman, Elisha Cook, Jr. as the weak link in the chain, and Marie Windsor as Elisha's conniving wife. There's also a hairy wrestler airplane spinning cops! What more can you ask for? How about a bunch of sweaty dudes driving truckloads of nitro across treacherous South American terrain where any bump in the road--and there are loads of bumps--could send them all sky high? Well, that's what we've got in Ngaio's second pick, Henri-Georges Clouzot's THE WAGES OF FEAR from 1953. This movie is more of a gateway drug to French cinema that classic film as a whole, but the last hour or so of it is a real white-knuckler so you'll really want to heed the weed recommendations for this one to get you through all that suspense. "Don't smoke a sativa with this one," Ngaio warns. The Killing is streaming for free with ads on Pluto The Wages of Fear is streaming on HBOMax, Criterion Channel & Kanopy You can follow Ngaio on Twitter and Instagram at @ngaio420. We hope to have him back on the show soon. Hosts: Bob Calhoun, Philena Franklin & Greg Franklin Theme song and closing theme: Chaki the Funk Wizard Cory Sklar is on assignment but he will be back for our Psychedelic Kaiju episode in February. The movies will be WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS (1966) & MATANGO (1963).

Comedian and podcaster Ben Van Der Velde joins Tyler this week to discuss The Fear Of Wages, Spike Milligan's favourite Goon Show ever and a neat parody of the classic French film The Wages Of Fear (later remade as Sorcerer). Broadcast in March 1956 its entry in the BBC Transcription Services catalogue reads: "For fourteen years Major Bloodnok and Captain Neddie Seagoon have been fighting the Japanese in Burma. For eleven of those years the war has been over, but the two sides have only recently awoken to this fact. Preparing for a triumphal return to Britain, complete with Japanese prisoners and Japanese saké, Neddie has the honour to be put in charge of the truck containing nitro-glycerine." Tyler and Ben talk comedy influences, contemporary politics, favourite gags and characters, topics and language 'of its time', ask why the Ray Ellington number Pink Champagne was edited out of the later versions while an aural joke was fixed, and point out a Bluebottle inconsistency.

Hot off two of the biggest hits of the seventies (The French Connection and The Exorcist), Friedkin decided to do his own version of one of the most acclaimed international films of all time, Henri-Georges Clouzot's The Wages of Fear, the tale of four desperate fugitives who are paid by an avaricious oil company to drive trucks full of nitroglycerine hundreds of miles to put out a raging fire at their refinery. It was an expensive and troubled production and had the bad timing of opening the same weekend that Star Wars was released widely across North America, heralding a cultural sea change in Hollywood that swept up his fellow auteurs in the New American Cinema of the seventies. Peter and I compare Sorcerer and The Wages of Fear, the two different ways these films criticize U.S. imperialism, and how Friedkin's misbegotten film eventually got a proper restoration in the 2010s and found a new audience. We also discuss the notorious international cut of Sorcerer, re-titled Wages of Fear and heavily tampered with by the worldwide distributor against the director's wishes. Plus: Peter tells us about the mood in the UK in the wake of the passing of Her Majesty.

We're back with our second running feature on Movies For Life - remakes! And you'll definitely have to strap in for this discussion, because these two movies are probably some of the most stressful ones that have ever been made! First up is another movie from Henri-Georges Clouzot, the incredible 1953 thriller THE WAGES OF FEAR. Then we're heading to 1977 for the remake (or another adaptation of the original novel, either one) directed by William Friedkin, we're talking about SORCERER! While these are both fantastic movies with some heart-stopping moments of tension, the two of us are kind of each a champion of one film at the start of the discussion. As we go through comparing and contrasting how each one handles certain plot points and situations, do we still have the same opinion at the end? You'll have to listen to find out!

Reel 2 is also out now featuring our latest Big Conversation on the Oscars.
This week we delve into Henri Georges Clouzot's The Wages of Fear (1953), a nihilistic film about four ex-pats taking a job driving trucks filled with nitroglycerin to an oil fire. Along the way they have philosophical adventures. After that is Sorcerer (1977), the William Friedkin remake starring Roy Scheider. It tells the same familiar story, only with the experimental nature of 70s filmmaking and a lot more backstory. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

The Criterion Collection, the last vestige of truly collectible DVD and Blu-Ray movies in existence. These are well produced, fancy pants editions of important and interesting films for the discerning film lover. We continue our journey through Jim's collection of movies with... The Wages of Fear Spine Number: 36 Director: Henri-Georges Clouzot Genre: Drama Movies need to set and manipulate a certain mood in order to be effective. It is hard to do. Tension is one of the most difficult to really maintain. There are things that people can do that add tension in obvious ways, but those tend to leave you flat once they're done. Jump scares and "here comes the bad guy" music can only go so far. With that in mind... damn! "The Wages of Fear," is tense as hell. Clouzot delivers one of the most incredible instances of building and maintaining tension throught. Its a simple story with complex detail. A group of people trapped in a remote part of Venezuela without the means to get home are offerd the opprotunity to make an incredible amount of money. All they have to do is transport two literal truckloads of nitro glycerine across an unpaved, remote and desolate road. That set up alone... damn! This film is incredible. I mean... it takes an hour before they are even in the trucks! It's important that you see what life is in this small outpost. You understand the desperate circumstances that force people to do such... just insane things. This was remade by William Friedkin in the 70's with the baffling title, "Sorcerer," which is actually a pretty damned good film. I recommend both very highly. So, relax if you can and enjoy our thought after watching "The Wages of Fear." Next week, Spine number 600: Anatomy of a Murder Also, check this out.
