THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME marks Wes Anderson's thirteenth feature film (if you count the collection of 4 shorts based on Roald Dahl stories he did for Netflix in 2024 as one film). Benicio Del Toro stars as wealthy businessman Zsa-zsa Korda who decides to appoint his only daughter, a nun, as sole heir to his estate. As Korda embarks on a dubious new enterprise (the scheme of the title) he & his daughter become the target of rival tycoons, foreign terrorists, & determined assassins. We've got a review plus some movie news and a recommendation of a film you might want to seek out. Recommendation from our hosts in this episode - The Ballad of Wallis Island Footcandle Film Society

Finally to end the non-spoiler segment, Blaine and Donovan discuss the dark world of 'Dept. Q' (12:25). After the break, it's only 'Dept. Q' on Netflix and the focus is where it lands as far as crime thrillers go: does it go beyond the genre (19:28)?For The Alabama Take on YouTube, visit this link.

Welcome to our latest festival! This week we kick off our Peter Greenaway festival with his wild and rambunctious 1988 film, Drowning By Numbers. Watch out for those Cissie's! Three generations of women continue to have marriage troubles that are far too similar in this oversexed comedy that laughs at death. Wes Anderson owes this guy some royalties! Great conversation, enjoy!
Send us a textFather's Day 2025 finds our podcast fathers contemplating the curious state of cinema, where animation remakes break box office records while prestige directors struggle with creative stagnation.Wes Anderson's "The Phoenician Scheme" becomes the focal point for a larger conversation about directorial signature styles calcifying into self-parody. Even devoted Anderson defenders are feeling fatigue as his meticulously composed dollhouses and deadpan performances edge closer to parody than innovation. Despite the welcome presence of Benicio Del Toro and glimpses of experimentation with violence and sports sequences, the film ultimately disappoints by prioritizing aesthetic consistency over emotional resonance.Meanwhile, "Ballerina" emerges as a surprising standout in the John Wick universe. Ana de Armas commands the screen with physical prowess and surprising comedic timing, elevating creative action sequences featuring improvised weapons from ice skate nunchucks to television remotes. The film's narrative structure might be front-loaded with unnecessary exposition, but once it finds its rhythm, it delivers the kind of inventive, visually striking action that established the franchise while carving its own identity.Family-friendly features continue their theatrical dominance, with "How To Train Your Dragon" joining "Minecraft" and "Lilo & Stitch" as box office champions. This enduring trend speaks volumes about audience priorities in an era of rising ticket prices – when families invest in theater outings, they gravitate toward reliable entertainment with broad appeal. On the horizon, Danny Boyle's "28 Years Later" promises to revitalize the rage virus saga with innovative iPhone cinematography and the return of original writer Alex Garland.Join us next week as we dive deep into Danny Boyle's filmography and explore how his latest compares to the groundbreaking original that helped redefine zombie cinema for a new generation.Support the show
This week the boys review the first Wes Anderson movie in Wild Dream history. They both give their thoughts on his latest movie The Phoenician Scheme and their thoughts on his works in general.
The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp was founded in 1988 by legendary actor and philanthropist, Paul Newman. The camp is a haven for children with serious illnesses and their families, fostering joy, hope and friendship through both summer camp and year-round programming. Jimmy Canton, Ana Villafañe, and Luke Wilson join Google to talk about the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp and its mission. Jimmy is its CEO, and has been with the organization since its founding. Rising from counselor to CEO, he grew the camp from serving 288 children in its first summer to over 20,000 children and family members annually. Ana Villafañe is a board member for the camp and a Broadway actress. She recently starred opposite Holland Taylor in the world premiere of N/A at Lincoln Center, and plays the title character in the upcoming feature film, Castro's Daughter. Luke Wilson is an advocate for the camp and an actor, writer and director. He's collaborated with Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson on films like Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, and is known for iconic comedies like Legally Blonde and Old School. Recently, he's starred in films like 12 Mighty Orphans, You Gotta Believe, Kevin Costner's Horizon, and the Netflix series No Good Deed. Watch this episode at youtube.com/TalksAtGoogle.

Joe Escalante's Weekly spelunk into the business end of showbiz. This week: let's try to steer away from celebs behaving badly... How about some box office news??? Lilo and Stitch is #1... and Joe hasn't seen it... But he did see a few good movies this week: Dogman, The Face of Jesus (which claims that Jesus may have had a nuclear resurrection), and the hot nun in Wes Anderson's The Phoencian Scheme triggers Joe's kink. Also, murder-for-hire doesn't pay... Just ask Victoria Goodwin! Russell Simmons is suing HBO for a documentary accusing him of sexual assault. Diddy shouldn't try to intimidate jurors, and Joe brags about buying into a Disney neighborhood that doesn't want you to have a statue of Goofy on the front lawn... I mean, what's the point, then???

From Oscar-winning director Wes Anderson (The Grand Budapest Hotel, Rushmore, The Royal Tannenbaums) comes his latest uniquely framed and acted adventure about a wealthy businessman (Oscar-Winner Benicio Del Toro) who's on a dangerous mission to not only preserve his wealth but also to possibly reconcile with his daughter played by newcomer Mia Threapleton. Alongside his latest assistant (and insect expert) Bjorn (Michael Cera), they travel around the world encountering a genuinely unique assortment of rival businessmen and/or potential assassins played by an All-Star cast including Tom Hanks, Rupert Friend, Scarlett Johannsen, Riz Ahmed, Bryan Cranston, Jeffrey Wright, and Benedict Cumberbatch. And what results is a colorful, quirky, and symettrical adventure which could only come from the mind of Wes Anderson.Host & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
