EPISODE 75 - “MEHAR BABA BRINGS SPIRITUALITY TO OLD HOLLYWOOD” - 2/17/2025 During the 1920s and 1930s, a spiritual movement swept through Hollywood. It seems the Hollywood elite were about more than just speakeasies, flappers, and decadence. Some were searching for inner-peace and often found it -- at least temporarily -- in these various religious movements that popped up. One spiritual leader who came to prominence was India's MEHAR BABA, who believed that spirituality and metaphysics were interconnected. Stars like MARY PICKFORD, TALLULAH BANKHEAD, and MARIE DRESSLER were admirers. And when Baba visited Hollywood in May of 1932, you'll never believe where he stayed! Get enlightened and listen to this fascinating story of spirituality in Hollywood.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: The God Man (1964), by C.B.Purdom; Mehar Baba, www.meharcenter.org “Mehar Baba: A Brief Biography,” www.avatarmeharbabatrust.org; “Pete Townsend Speaks of Mehar Baba,” www.petetoensend.net; “Mehar Baba: The Compassionate Father,” www.ramdass.org; “Highest of the High: Full Message By Mehar Baba with Introduction,” YouTube,com; Wikipedia.com; Movies Mentioned:  The Devil and the Deep (1932); starring Tallulah Bankhead, Gary Cooper, Charles, Laughton, & Cary Grant; Love Me Tonight (1932), starring Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald, Charles Ruggles, & Myrna Loy; Grand Hotel (1932), starring Greta Garbo, John Barrymore, Joan Crawford, Lionel Barrymore, Wallace Beery, & Lewis Stone; --------------------------------- http://www.airwavemedia.com Please contact sales@advertisecast.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** In the great film noir classic Thieves Highway, a gripping drama that takes on the dirty underbelly of the trucking industry, the spectacular RICHARD CONTE plays Nick Garcos, a world-weary, jaded, World War II vet who returns home. After finding his family's produce business in shambles and his father crippled, he seeks revenge against the crooked rival produce dealer who caused his father's accident. In his gripping portrayal, Conte shows his strengths as an actor. With his square shoulders, cleft chin, and intense eyes, Conte gives the impression that he means business. Conte was just as comfortable playing mobsters and street hoods as he was playing charming, sympathetic leading men. He always projected manly strength, and you knew he was no one you wanted to mess with. So say hello to our Star of the Month, RICHARD CONTE.

"Nach dem Überraschungserfolg seines Theaterstücks über den "gemeinen Mann" folgt Autor Barton Fink nur widerwillig dem Ruf Hollywoods. Isoliert in einem stickigen Hotelzimmer soll er einem Ringerfilm mit Wallace Beery das Barton-Fink-Feeling verpassen. Doch nicht einmal die Besuche seines kumpelhaften Nachbarn Charlie, eines Vertreters, helfen Fink über seine Schreibblockade hinweg."

Can Falk pin the corrupt boss of Parabellum City's professional wrestling organization? Why is the crowd so quiet? Do frogs really stay in a pot of water if you turn up the heat gradually? Listen to find out!Rats in a Cage Match, episode 99 of This Gun in My Hand, was slammed into a turnbuckle by Rob Northrup.

With This Gun in My Hand!Show Notes:1. I was going to insert a sample of “Hey Murgatroyd, let's go-o-oo!” from “Jam On It” by Newcleus, but I couldn't isolate the vocal from the not-very-1939 music.2. Falk might be thinking of the Wallace Beery wrestling picture Flesh (1932).3. Don Knotts would count as an animal shapeshifter in The Incredible Mister Limpet (1964), right? I watched the full movie last night because that's the level of commitment I bring to researching this show.4. Regina slips up when she says, “I already said the episode title…” proving that she is really Petra! but Falk misses it.Credits:The opening music clip was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950). The music clip during the commercial was from The Scar (1948, aka Hollow Triumph). The closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), all three films in the public domain.

a live dog in a world of soon-to-be-dead lions. What is there to say at this point about Terminator 2: Judgment Day? That it's a big ole crowd pleaser that updates the Wallace Beery wrestling pic for the ‘90s? That its florid sentimentality is the key to its success? That it's a hell of a lot of fun? Maybe there's nothing more to say, but we spend a solid hour saying it anyway on this week's podcast. Stick around for the Destroy All Culture definitive ranking of all the Terminator films we've watched so far!Next up: Terminator 3: Rise of the MacHines.

In our final film review for Season 3, we  explore The Big House, a stark look inside an overcrowded prison.

Arrr, matey, it's time to go a-treasure huntin'. Grab your Jolly Roger, polish your parrot, and hop aboard as we set sail to Treasure Island. Yep, it's the 1934 adaptation of the classic novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, starring great lead performances from Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper. While this film isn't as popular as the Disney movie from 1950, or as nostalgic as the animated Treasure Planet, or as Muppety as the Muppet's version, this is still one fun swashbuckling adventure that we're glad we got to do an episode on.Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodFollow the show!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oldiebutagoodiepod/Facebook: https://fb.me/oldiebutagoodiepodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjfdXHxK_rIUsOEoFSx-hGAPodcast Platforms: https://linktr.ee/oldiebutagoodiepodGot feedback?

Lux Radio Theater "The Plutocrat" September 28, 1936 CBS Wallace Beery in a Booth Tarkington story

A discussion about and look into the stories, the history and the personalities that came together to make the silent film, "The Lost World," in 1925. Directed by Harry O. Hoyt and starring Wallace Beery, Bessie Love and Bull Montana. Twitter - @goldensilents1 Instagram - goldensilentscast

"He robbed me. He struck me. He's dead." Grand Hotel (1932) directed by Edmund Goulding and starring Greta Garbo, John Barrymore, Joan Crawford, Wallace Beery, Lionel Barrymore and Jean Hersholt. Next Time: Chariots of Fire (1981)

This month, we delve into the archives for a previously recorded but unreleased episode where the original OLFC gang discuss those Best Picture winners that also have an adapted screenplay. Edmund Goulding's Grand Hotel is based on Vicki Baum's 1929 novel of the same name. The star-studded ensemble includes Greta Garbo, John and Lionel Barrymore, Wallace Beery and a very young Joan Crawford. Produced by Irving Thalberg, this MGM extravaganza is the only Best Picture winner not to be nominated in any other category.  In The English Patient, Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas lead the cast under Anthony Minghella's Oscar-winning direction, in this adaption of Michael Ondaatje's novel that follows a love affair during World War II. Thank you to Thomas Whitelaw for our intro music and Rachel Valentine Smith for our artwork. This episode was partly recorded remotely and so we apologise for any changes in sound quality present.

We're sipping on a refreshing (alcohol free) cherry vamp as we discuss the glamour of the most beautiful art deco film, Grand Hotel. Tune is as we discuss how this movie revolutionized the "the look" of the Golden Age of Hollywood, the revolutionary innovation of the MGM art department, and of course, do what we actually came here to do: spend as much time as possible talking about the top star of MGM, and the undisputed queen of the Golden Age of Hollywood, Greta Garbo. Starring (you guessed it) Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, John Barrymore, Lionel Barrymore, and Wallace Beery.

MONSTERBATING: “You can hop, but you can't hide”. Join film enthusiast and blogger Tony Cogan (Coogs Reviews) as we discuss Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were Rabbit and the 1931 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, two films about experiments that go wrong and result in the creation of a monster (don't you hate when that happens?). Also, enjoy an episode that covers some of the same ideas: Jurassic Park/Frankenstein/Bride of Frankenstein/Son of Frankenstein at https://anchor.fm/dashboard/episode/elsfomas well as Apple, Spotify and other streaming services. Don't you hate it when something goes a little wrong? You create a person out of spare body parts and they go on a murderous rampage. You create dinosaurs out of DNA and they go on a murderous rampage. You create a serum to get rid of the bad part of you and you go on a murderous rampage. You create a mind manipulator for bunny rabbits and you end up going on a murderous rampage of…well, vegetables, but the principle is the same. Sounds like it's time for Episode 64 of Pop Art, the podcast where my guest chooses a movie from popular culture, and I'll select a film from the more art/classic/indie side of cinema with a connection to it. This time, I am happy to welcome as my guest, film enthusiast and blogger Tony Cogan, who has chosen as his film the stop motion animated comedy Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, while I have chosen the pre-code horror film Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, both films about scientific experiments gone wrong resulting in the creation of a monster. And in this episode we'll answer such questions as: How do you pronounce Jekyll? What does a director do on an animated film? How were the special effects achieved in Dr. Jekyll…? What is the difference between American and British horror/sci-fi films of the 1950s and 60s? Why did Wallace Beery tie with Frederic March for Best Actor at the Oscars? Just what is it about animated films and their increase in popularity? What's innovative about the opening scene in Dr. Jekyll? What movie beat out Wallace and Gromit by $200,000 the 2nd week of opening? Why did posters have to be altered in Portland, Dorset, UK? Who is Rose Hobart and why were they saying all those terrible things about her? What is the Wilhelm scream?

At last, we reach the end of the 1931/1932 Oscars with the winner Grand Hotel. Sort of the first Ocean's Eleven, it's chock full of stars: Joan Crawford, Wallace Beery of The Champ fame, Greta Garbo (who delivers her iconic line, "I want to be alone"), and not one but two Barrymores! But does it deserve to be Best Picture? Find out if David and Suzan disagree with the Academy for the first time!

Cinecon classic film festival in Hollywood, with organizers Stan Taffel and Michael Schlesinger • Beggars of Life (1928), starring Wallace Beery and Louise Brooks, with author Thomas Gladysz (48:42)

This is the audio track from our very first VIDEO podcast. If you’d like to see the video version of this episode, you can find it on YouTube or on our website at www.ClassicMovieRecall.com. In this episode, James and Lara discuss THE CHAMP (1931) while on location at the legendary Beverly Hills estate built in the 1920s by the film’s director, King Vidor. We get a glimpse inside this ultra-exclusive home (later owned by actor John Barrymore and director Tony Scott), and also a drone’s-eye view of the beautiful grounds. We praise Jackie Cooper’s astonishing performance, Wallace Beery’s plan to become the highest paid actor in Hollywood, and the innovative way that King Vidor moved the camera to capture some exciting boxing sequences in the early days of “talkies.” We also discuss Frances Marion’s terrific script, and the power that women had as Hollywood was just becoming Hollywood. (Our regular audio podcast will continue, but from time to time we’ll post a video version too.)

Mickey Rooney stars as a kid who works around the race track stables and ends up getting a broken down horse instead of pay.

In October of 1934, "Lux Radio Theater" debuted in New York on NBC's Blue radio network. Presenting audio versions of popular Broadway plays, the show failed to garner an audience and soon ran out of material. After switching networks to CBS and moving to Hollywood, Lux found its true market. The show began featuring adaptations of popular films, performed by as many of the original stars as possible. With an endless supply of hit films scripts and an audience of more than 40 million, Lux enjoyed a prosperous run until the curtain fell in 1956.THIS EPISODE:Salute to the Marines from Lux Radio Theater aired November 8, 1943 starring Wallace Beery as Sgt. Maj. William Bailey and Fay Bainter as Jenny Bailey. Leatherneck, Wallace Beery, is back in uniform.
