Podcast appearances and mentions of Werner Herzog

Tennyson called nature “red in tooth and claw,” but that warning didn't keep Timothy Treadwell from living among the grizzlies of Alaska for thirteen summers–until one of them killed him and his girlfriend. Werner Herzog's 2005 documentary Grizzly Man tells Treadwell's story and raises the issues of what happens when we ascribe human motives and characteristics to animals and the ways in which we all attempt to stake out our own territory in an indifferent world. Incredible bumper music by John Deley. Herzog's most recent book The Future of Truth (2025) is a series of essays about what constitutes truth and the threats truth faces in our age of AI and deepfakes.

Werner Herzog, der international berühmteste deutsche Regisseur, kommt aus Sachrang. Dort findet nun zum 2. Mal ein großes Werner-Herzog Kino Open Air statt.

Durch Filme wie “Fitzcarraldo” oder “Aguirre” wurde der unbequeme „Soldat des Kinos“ zur Legende des europäischen Arthouse-Kinos. 2026 erlebt Werner Herzog einen weiteren Karriere-Höhepunkt: Im Alter von 83 Jahren wird er zum unwahrscheinlichsten Influencer aller Zeiten. Werner Herzog ist vielleicht der derzeit berühmteste Kultur-Export Deutschlands. Nur in seinem Heimatland kennt ihn kaum jemand. Autor Max Osenstätter sucht nach Antworten unter anderem im Dschungel von Peru und findet heraus, dass Herzog und er eine Gemeinsamkeit haben: Beide haben ein außergewöhnliches Verhältnis zur Wahrheit. Von Klaus Uhrig, Johannes Munzinger, Judith Goetsch und Max Osenstätter SWR/BR 2026

Jakob, Anne og Martine er enda ikke helt kloke på mannen, myten og legenden: Werner Herzog. I et forsøk på å komme nærmere den eksentriske tyske regissøren har de sett fiksjonsfilmene "Aguirre, the Wrath of God" (1972) og "Fitzcarraldo" (1982) med Klaus Kinski i hovedrollen, samt dokumentaren "My Best Fiend" (1999) om forholdet mellom Herzog og Kinski. Hvem var denne riv røskende gale mannen Klaus Kinski? Hvordan i alle dager ble disse filmene til? Kan mennesket virkelig beefe med naturen? Hadde Kinski overlevd kanselleringskulturen? Og er det fiksjonsfilmene eller dokumentarene til Herzog som er best? Hiv på deg rustningen eller lindressen, og følg oss på eventyret ned elven mens vi prøver å bli litt klokere i fellesskap. 

David Peck sits down with acclaimed actors Radha Mitchell, Ioan Gruffudd, and Bianca Wallace to discuss the tense new action-thriller Seven Snipers on Face2Face. Together they explore the film's emotional core, the psychology of survival, the lingering effects of trauma, and the complicated relationships that exist beneath the bullets and battlefield tactics. What begins as a gripping sniper thriller quickly reveals itself as a story about family, love, sacrifice, and redemption. The conversation touches on strong female characters, the realities of violence, PTSD, independent filmmaking, and why some films linger long after the credits roll. A compelling look behind the scope of one of this year's most intense action films.Seven Snipers brings together an impressive ensemble led by three accomplished performers whose careers span film, television, and independent cinema.Academy Award-nominated actor Radha Mitchell leads the film as Kris Hendricks, a retired elite sniper whose carefully constructed life is shattered when a ruthless enemy from her past resurfaces. One of Australia's most respected international actors, Mitchell is known for standout performances in Pitch Black, Finding Neverland, Phone Booth, Man on Fire, and Silent Hill. Throughout her career, she has built a reputation for portraying strong, complex, and emotionally layered characters, making her a natural fit for the heart of Seven Snipers.Joining her is acclaimed Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd, whose extensive screen career includes memorable roles in Titanic, Black Hawk Down, King Arthur, Fantastic Four, Forever, and Harrow. A graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), Gruffudd has earned international recognition for bringing intelligence, warmth, and depth to every role. In Seven Snipers, he plays "Milk," a loyal former member of the sniper team whose courage and humanity become central to the film's emotional core. He is also the recipient of the Welsh BAFTA's Sian Phillips Award for Outstanding Contribution to Film and Television.Rounding out the trio is Australian actor Bianca Wallace, whose work spans feature films, television, voice acting, and producing. Originally from Queensland, Wallace first began performing as a singer before transitioning into acting, earning recognition for her award-winning work in Bloodline and other film projects. In Seven Snipers, she portrays Kaldayev, a skilled member of the elite team brought together to face an increasingly dangerous threat.Together, Mitchell, Gruffudd, and Wallace help elevate Seven Snipers beyond a traditional action thriller, grounding its intense action in themes of loyalty, family, sacrifice, and survival.David Peck is a writer, speaker, and award-winning podcaster who works at the intersection of storytelling, social change, and meaningful dialogue.

Neste episódio, exploramos três filmes do realizador alemão Werner Herzog: “Aguirre, a cólera de Deus” (1972), “Fitzcarraldo” (1982) e “Cobra Verde” (1987). Estes três filmes de Werner Herzog formam uma espécie de trilogia informal sobre a obsessão humana, a ambição desmedida e o confronto entre o indivíduo e forças que o transcendem, sempre com a selva como paisagem de fundo e com Klaus Kinski no papel principal.

At the Toronto International Film Festival, I sat down with acclaimed filmmaker Darlene Naponse to discuss her stunning new film Aki. More than a documentary, Aki is a poetic meditation on land, memory, community, and our relationship to the natural world. Together they explore narrative sovereignty, Indigenous storytelling, mining and environmental responsibility, truth and reconciliation, and the power of listening more closely—to the land, to one another, and to ourselves. Naponse reflects on how making the film transformed her as an artist and why hope, connection, and responsibility remain at the heart of her work. A thoughtful conversation about belonging, beauty, and finding our way home.Darlene Naponse is an award-winning Anishinaabe filmmaker, writer, and community advocate from Atikameksheng Anishnawbek in Northern Ontario. Widely recognized as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Indigenous cinema, her work explores themes of land, identity, language, sovereignty, community, and the enduring relationships that connect people to place.Over the past decade, Naponse has built an acclaimed body of work that includes the feature films Falls Around Her, Stellar, Every Emotion Costs, and Aki. Her films have screened at major festivals around the world, including the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), imagineNATIVE, and the American Indian Film Festival, earning praise for their poetic visual style, emotional depth, and commitment to authentic Indigenous storytelling.Beyond filmmaking, Naponse has spent years working in community development, governance, and nation-building initiatives within her own community. That lived experience informs much of her creative work, which often bridges personal stories with broader questions about history, reconciliation, environmental stewardship, and cultural resurgence.Her latest film, Aki is a striking visual meditation on community, memory, and humanity's relationship with the natural world. Created through a process rooted in respect, observation, and Indigenous ways of seeing, the film reflects Naponse's ongoing commitment to narrative sovereignty and storytelling that emerges from community rather than speaking for it.Whether working behind the camera, mentoring emerging artists, or engaging in conversations about Indigenous futures, Darlene Naponse continues to challenge audiences to look more closely, listen more carefully, and reconsider their relationship with the land and with one another.David Peck is a writer, speaker, and award-winning podcaster who works at the intersection of storytelling, social change, and meaningful dialogue.

Rambo Van Halen is a pseudonym. He's a Hollywood producer — the real kind, the below-the-line kind, the guy making sure the steel gets to the factory — who worked in the industry for decades, walked away in 2019, and wrote a book about it.The book is called Hollywood Samizdat: Notes from Below the Line. It's published by Passage Press. Lou read it. He dog-eared it. They talked for an hour. Topics include: what a producer actually does (mostly administration, definitely not what people think); what happens to actors when nobody says no to them for 20 years; the feminization of Hollywood and why straight guys stopped being able to do their jobs; military veterans vs. film school graduates on set (no contest); Werner Herzog, Klaus Kinski, and the Amazon river; the unwritten casting rule about who can and can't be the butt of the joke; MeToo — the careers it should have ended, the ones it shouldn't have, and the Joe Gatt story that will make your jaw drop; and why Rambo Van Halen is not his real name and probably never will be.

Spomini velikega nemškega režiserja se berejo kot kak pustolovski roman, obenem pa postavljajo spomenik presežni lepoti in ekstatični resnici, ki se lahko razkrijeta samo na filmskem platnuVeliko ljudi se v poznih letih sicer loti pisanja svojih spominov, a se ob branju potem dovolj pogosto pokaže, da njihova življenja nemara le niso bila tako zanimiva, razgibana, napeta ali protislovna, da bi jih bilo po vsej sili treba popisati v knjigi. No, ta pomislek oziroma zadržek, ki se na načelni ravni lahko drži avtobiografskega pisanja, pa ne velja za Wernerja Herzoga, enega največjih živečih umetnikov na svetu, ki je svoje življenje leta 2022 popisal v knjigi Vsak zase in Bog proti vsem, knjigi, ki je pod založniškim okriljem Beletrine zdaj izšla tudi v slovenskem prevodu. Ob branju spominov danes 83-letnega nemškega režiserja, ki se je podpisal pod take filmske mojstrovine, kot so Aguirre, srd božji pa Fitzcarraldo ter Jama pozabljenih sanj, se namreč ni mogoče znebiti vtisa, da je véliki cineast vseskozi živel skrajno intenzivno, da, drugače rečeno, v svojem življenju ni vrgel stran niti enega samega dneva, niti ene same ure. Ko se je torej lotil pisanja spominov, Herzogu nikakor ni manjkalo snovi. A kako natanko je vse prigode, nezgode, zmagoslavja in poraze, ki jih je zabeležil na svoji razgibani življenjski poti, razgrnil pred očmi radovednih bralk in bralcev? – Odgovor smo iskali v tokratnem Sobotnem branju, ko smo pred mikrofonom gostili Anjo Naglič, ki je Herzogove spomine prevedla v slovenski jezik.

¿Dónde está la hija de Rubén Rocha Moya? Tras semanas de ausencia, crecen las dudas sobre el paradero de la presidenta del DIF Sinaloa, en medio de un clima político marcado por la infiltración del crimen organizado y la incertidumbre económica. La reducción de la nota soberana de México por parte de Moody's coloca al país en su nivel más bajo de grado de inversión en una década, mientras Álvaro Vertiz, socio de DGA Group, analiza cómo el endeudamiento de Pemex y CFE, junto con la tensión política y la falta de certeza jurídica, amenazan las perspectivas de crecimiento para el segundo semestre de 2026. Paralelamente, la prolongada inasistencia de figuras como Enrique Insunza y Eneida Rocha Ruiz incrementa la presión sobre el oficialismo, que busca imponer filtros para evitar la infiltración del narco en candidaturas. En esta emisión también desmenuzamos las constantes controversias en el ámbito judicial y la narrativa oficial frente a las denuncias ciudadanas. Además, como cada viernes, Gonzalo Lira nos lleva por lo mejor del cine con el estreno del documental “Elefantes Fantasma” de Werner Herzog, comentarios sobre la serie “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed” y los detalles exclusivos de la nueva película de “The Mandalorian & Grogu” dirigida por Jon Favreau.

In 1828, a seventeen-year-old boy was found wandering the streets of Nuremberg, holding two letters and unable to say more than a few words. The locals adopted him as a kind of municipal mascot; eventually, they learned that he had been bound in darkness until his release and struggled to learn more about his past. Werner Herzog took the story as a basis for his 1974 film–not one of his trademark documentaries–and used it as a meditation on the human condition. It's an unforgettable experience, like seeing 2001 for the first time. Join us as we discuss the film's ideas, humor, and audacity. Incredible bumper music by John Deley. The German title of the film is Every Man for Himself and God Against All, which is also the title of Werner Herzog's 2024 memoir.

Tread Perilously dedicates itself to a month of fantasy shows starting with an episode of Beastmaster called "Slayer's Return." After years of wandering, Zuraya seems to have it all worked out. Rolan, the king of a prosperous city state, has lifted her curse of loneliness and they will be married in a few short days. Nevertheless, her wolf, Slayer, seems to hate Rolan. Does he understand something Zuraya is missing? Meanwhile, Dar the Beastmaster continues the search for his long-lost family, all of whom his father turned into animals for their protection. Will these two stories collide when Slayer gets shot with a crossbow bolt? Well, they have to -- it's Beastmaster! Erik recalls the days when HBO stood for "Hey, Beastmaster's On!" Justin calls sword-and-sorcery his favorite subgenre. The lack of male gaze in the show proves welcome even as a surprise guest star appears. The pair try to determine the premise of the show based on their recollections of the original Beastmaster film. Werner Herzog appears with a surprising Disney recommendation. Erik compares star Daniel Goddard to a surprising number of actors, though Goddard proves capable in the role. Opinions about the upcoming Masters of the Universe film are shared. Late 1900s/early 2000s fashions make their way into the Hyborean-esque world of Beastmaster and Slayer proves to be the goodest of boys.

New episode out now! We take another trip to Victorian London with the season one episode of Granada Television's Sherlock Holmes, “The Blue Carbuncle”. We discuss how this adaptation tried to be very faithful to the source material, loved the lived-in depiction of the Victorian era, and enjoyed the lighthearted mystery of following a Christmas goose—backwards. We get into the almost-too-obsessive, somewhat manic, but ultimately great performance of Jeremy Brett as Holmes, and how paired with David Burke's Watson they felt like actual friends who enjoy solving mysteries together and just have fun. We also learn some sad behind-the-scenes stories about the production of the show. Katy recognized a man's eyebrows, Carrie spent a summer waiting for a woman to get out of a hole, Maddy does a great Werner Herzog impression, and Mack pitches an interesting experiment. We also talk about supply chain management, break down buying poultry at the market, object to some of Mack's specific verbiage, and learn the other definitions of “carbuncle”. Listen to hear more about goose fights, Passions, big Gollum energy, penguins, hot water, backlot tours, and more. Enjoy!TW: Racism, colonialism, imperialism, drug use, descriptions of poultry processing, mental health issues, heart problems, medical abscess descriptionsShow Notes:When this episode first aired the series was called The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes; each of the four series of Holmes stories produced by Granada Television had different titles but were ultimately collected into one “show” with the overall title of Sherlock Holmes.

Hollywood has been gatekept for decades, but a multi-hyphenate who has appeared in films with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Werner Herzog, co-written a screenplay with Stan Lee, and produced for VH1 and Comedy Central is now building something the studios never could have given him. Victor Varnado, stand-up comedian, actor, filmmaker, National Science Foundation grant recipient, and CEO of Supreme Robot Pictures, spent the pandemic pivoting hard into tech and never looked back. The centerpiece right now is High Score Game Arcade, a global competitive gaming platform he built from scratch, recently showcased at South by Southwest, and is now closing a distribution deal that puts his games in front of over 100 million monthly users across Samsung TVs and beyond. The flagship product, a deceptively deep single-player tic-tac-toe championship with a heuristic scoring engine, is just the beginning. The conversation covers how Victor developed patented accessibility technology to help people with disabilities play video games, got a National Science Foundation grant for it, then watched a company called Infinite Reality buy it with shares right before a failed IPO. He and Christopher Nichols dig into what it actually takes for artists to pay themselves in 2025, the power of the hybrid newsletter and the email list as sustainable revenue engines, and why the Roger Corman model is still the smartest path forward for indie filmmakers. Victor also co-produces the Iron Mule Comedy Film Festival in New York, programming monthly short comedy screenings, and makes a sharp case that the biggest threat from AI is not the technology itself but the people deploying it who do not know what they are doing.

Deep in our past, in the dark depths of caves, our ancestors did something strange and beautiful. Working by firelight, some doodled little designs. Others made hand stencils. Some saw a bulge of rock, or a crack in the wall, and thought to turn it into a horse or a bison. Why did they did they make this art? What did it mean to them? Who were these artists? These questions are old—very old—but thanks to new methods and new interpretive frameworks, archaeologists are beginning to see them in a new light.  My guest today is Dr. Izzy Wisher. Izzy is an archaeologist at Aarhus University in Denmark, specializing in Paleolithic art.  Here, Izzy and talk about why we in the present are so drawn to cave art. We lay out the basic timeline, geography, and categories of Paleolithic art. We consider the difference between figurative and non-figurative art, and why it might be that non-figurative art came first. We discuss hand stencils. We talk about an ongoing shift in archaeology as the sensory turn. We dig into some of Izzy's work on the role of pareidolia, palimpsests, and children in cave art. And we touch on an ongoing project she is involved in trying to understand the earliest symbolic marks that our species made—and what they could have been used for. Along the way we touch on the site known as El Castillo, Werner Herzog, hunting magic, why hand stencils are so often missing fingers, graffiti, tectiforms and flutings, why depictions of humans are actually quite rare in cave art, stages in children's art production, the use of virtual reality as a research method, and the idea of archaeology as world-building.  I think you'll enjoy this one friends. Who among us—after all—doesn't feel drawn to these caves, to these most enigmatic of human creations? Without further ado, here's my conversation with Dr. Izzy Wisher.   Notes 3:00 – For more on El Castillo cave, see here and here. 9:00 – Werner Herzog's film—Cave of Forgotten Dreams—is being briefly re-released in April 2026. 12:00 – For some of Dr. Wisher's popular writing on cave art, see here and here.  16:30 – One example of a recent rock art finding in Sulawesi. 20:30  – Our earlier episode with Dr. Eleanor Scerri and Dr. Manuel Will, in which we discuss the mostly-retired idea of a "cognitive revolution" in Europe in the Upper Paleolithic. 22:00 – For more on the recently discovered rock art panel in Colombia, see this news story and this recent academic study. 25:00 – The relative rarity of humans in Paleolithic art has provoked much discussion, both among scholars and the public.  27:00 – On the idea that Venus figurines might be self-representations—made from the perspective of the artist viewing her own body—see here. 29:00 – For a recent treatment of the "missing fingers" in hand stencils, with some overview of different hypotheses, see here. For more on the idea that such stencils could constitute a system of hand-signs, see here. 34:00 – A popular article by Dr. Wisher about one example of portable art—a deer-tooth necklace with engraved designs. 36:00 ­– For a discussion of the earliest non-figurative art, see here.

A recent overview of the project and its context by Dr. Wisher and colleagues.   1:18:00 – A recent paper arguing that certain systems of marks represented a "phenological calendar."

Guests: Annette LePique, Curtis Anthony Bozif, Pia Singh, Gareth Kaye Recorded with the support of Columbia College Chicago - Colum.edu What happens when you gather a room full of critics in a moment when criticism itself feels both endangered and newly alive? In this long-awaited return to the Chicago Critics Roundtable, Duncan sits down with a new multi-hyphenate crew of writers, curators, artists, and exhibition-makers to unpack the shifting role of criticism in a fractured "art ecology." What emerges is a conversation about care, attention, subjectivity, labor, and the strange intimacy of thinking deeply about someone else's work. From the death of legacy media to the rise of Substack, from writing as love to writing as agitation, this episode positions criticism as a lived, embodied, and often obsessive practice. Criticism is relational, literary, emotional, and deeply entangled with the conditions of making and showing art in Chicago today, and certainly never "neutral".  Name Drop List (with links) Duncan MacKenzie—https://kurasmackenzie.com/Brian Andrews—https://www.brianandrews.org/Annette LePique—https://sixtyinchesfromcenter.org/byline/annette-lepique/ Curtis Anthony Bozif—https://www.curtisanthonybozif.com/ Pia Singh—https://curatorsintl.org/collaborators/22319-pia-singh Gareth Kaye—https://chicagospleen.substack.com/ Derrick Guthrie—https://derrickguthrie.com/ Lane Relyea—https://www.artic.edu/authors/71/lane-relyea James Elkins—https://www.saic.edu/profiles/faculty/james-elkins Michelle Grabner—https://www.michellegrabner.com/ Lori Waxman—https://www.60inchcenter.org/lori-waxman Charles Baudelaire—https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/charles-baudelaire Dave Hickey—https://www.artforum.com/contributors/dave-hickey Werner Herzog—https://www.bfi.org.uk/filmography/werner-herzog Timothy Morton—https://www.timothymorton.net/ Rachel Carson—https://www.rachelcarson.org/Peter Schjeldahl—https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/peter-schjeldahl

Mike Lisk AKA AP Mike of THE BEST SHOW joins us once again and this time he's bringing Werner Herzog with him for AP MIKE'S HERZOG-A-MANIA!!! Mike first suggested doing a Herzog episode way back in our Noirvember 2024 episode (S3E15), but it took us over a year to get our most popular guest to discuss a German filmmaker so popular that he is now a meme--or even several of them. Rather than mine some obscure corner of Herzog's filmography--and there's a lot to mine--Mike goes straight for the heart (of darkness) with AGUIRRE WRATH OF GOD (1972)--the stoniest movie possible with Germans playing Spanish conquistadors and totally losing their shit both onscreen and IRL. In the title role we've got KLAUS KINSKI, a thoroughly terrible human being with an amazing face that is hard not to be captivated by--especially when you've been vaping Glitter Bomb with your new DaVinci EQ vaporizer all day. Look, the guy's been dead since 1991. We just want to enjoy the bastard's art. We don't want to make him Secretary of Health and Human Services or anything. And then to lighten things up, Cory chooses Les Blank's short film WERNER HERZOG EATS HIS SHOE (1980). And SPOILER: Werner Herzog does eat his shoe, although it was simmered in duck fat and hot sauce by the legendary Alice Waters of Chez Panisse in Berkeley not that helped very much. Werner ate his shoe as part of a bet with Errol Morris, so we also talk a bit about Morris's GATES OF HEAVEN (1978) but not so much that we can't feature that masterpiece in a future episode. Both Herzog movies and GATES OF HEAVEN are on Criterion Channel + AGUIRRE is also streaming on Fandor, Tubi, Pluto, Roku, and whole bunch of other places. BREAKING: AP Mike also tells us how he got kicked off of Facebook and Instagram for "selling drugs," and he gives us the lowdown on his new Patreon BEER BUDDIES where he and Tom Scharpling drink terrible beer. Plus we speculate on the end of social media, and Bob pays tribute some really cool friends who died recently. You can follow Mike Lisk on X (his only social media outlet) at @APMike, and please check out his new Patreon show BEER BUDDIES: https://www.patreon.com/collection/2054068?view=expanded Hosts: Bob Calhoun & Cory Sklar.

THis week, Matt and Corbin are joined by DOM SINACOLA (Film Critic at The Portland Mercury, The Werner Hertzblog) to talk about LESSONS OF DARKNESS, Werner Herzog's impressionistic non fiction essay movie about the burning oilfields of Kuwait in the wake of the first gulf war. Topics include: is this movie responsible? Germany in the post war, Herzog and truth and lies, and other stuff. Honestly it's been a while since we recorded it, so it's possible I'm missing something.  Check out the show on Letterboxd if you're into that thing. Matt is also on there. And we got a Bluesky going. Next episode is about "The White Ribbon," which is streaming somewhere, probably. If I forgot to link something today, please tell me on Blusky, because I feel like I'm forgetting something.

Tom Sachs is a contemporary artist and cultural provocateur known for turning branded consumer objects into high art. This conversation explores the paradoxes that define Tom's art and his iconoclastic philosophy of living; why creativity is the enemy, the power of sympathetic magic, consumerism as secular religion, the infamous Barney's nativity scene that launched his career, and why persistence — not talent — is omnipotent. And in doing so, Tom dismantles the intransigent myth that artists are a different species and makes a compelling case that we're all creative beings irrespective of what we do for a living. Tom is equal parts Werner Herzog and blue-collar craftsman. Enjoy!
