Podcasts about western genre

Der Podcast über die Montags (OV) Sneak in Frankfurt am Main und in euren Wohnzimmern. Dieses Mal mit einem modernen Western Klassiker, der völlig zu Unrecht ein wenig in Vergessenheit geraten ist. „The Quick and the Dead“ aus 1995, in Deutschland veröffentlicht unter dem ebenfalls sehr coolen Titel „Schneller als der Tod“. Während Helena in der Diskussion tiefgreifende biblische parallelen zitiert, taucht Chrissi in das Western Genre und die Vita von Schauspiellegende Gene Hackman ein, Maike hingegen feiert Russel Crowe und Malte den Regisseur Sam Rami, während sich Dan von alle dem recht unbeeindruckt zeigt. Ihr sehr und werdet also hören, da ist für (fast) jeden etwas dabei. Wenn ihr direkt nach dem Podcast oder davor reinschauen wollt, es gibt eine fast vergriffene aber noch recht günstige Blu-Ray und bei Netflix ist der Film derzeit im Abo enthalten.

Welcome back, film fanatics, to another episode of Movie Herald Podcast. Last time, we cracked open the treasure chest of movie genres, but today, we're taking a time machine and teleporting to the very birth of the genre system. Buckle up, because we're about to witness the first flick that dared to wear its genre on its sleeve! Brace yourselves, folks, because we're going all the way back to 1902. That's right, we're talking about a time when cars were horseless carriages and cellphones were just a twinkle in Alexander Graham Bell's eye. This is the era of silent films, where storytelling relied on slapstick, pantomime, and a dash of imagination from the audience. So, what film gets the honor of being the first "genre film"? Many film historians point to a French flick called "Le Voyage dans la Lune," which translates to "A Trip to the Moon." Yes, the same directed by George Melies from Hugo. This fantastical journey follows a group of astronomers who blast off to the moon in a giant cannon. Think Jules Verne meets Monty Python, with a healthy dose of silent film charm. Now, "A Trip to the Moon" wasn't exactly "The Godfather" of its time, but it planted a seed. It showed filmmakers that audiences craved stories that fit into specific categories – in this case, the fantastical world of science fiction. After this lunar launch, other genres started popping up like popcorn at the cinema. Westerns, comedies, and even tearjerking melodramas emerged, each catering to a specific audience appetite. What was the very first genre film in Hollywood? Drumroll, please... It was none other than the iconic Western, “The Great Train Robbery,” released in 1903. Directed by Edwin S. Porter, this 12-minute silent film revolutionized storytelling on screen. It had action, drama, and even a touch of suspense – all essential elements of the Western genre. But hold your horses, pardner! “The Great Train Robbery” wasn't just a standalone success. It kickstarted a wildfire of genre films, each adding its own unique flavor to the mix. From the swashbuckling adventures of Douglas Fairbanks in “The Mark of Zorro” to the spine-chilling horrors of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” Hollywood was quickly becoming a melting pot of genres. Now, let's talk turkey. How did the success of these early genre films change the movie market? Well, it was like adding fuel to the fire. Audiences couldn't get enough of the thrills and excitement offered by these genre flicks, and filmmakers were more than happy to deliver. Studios began churning out genre films left and right, each vying for a piece of the box office pie. But amidst all the chaos, one thing became clear – genre films weren't just a passing fad. They had staying power. Directors like John Ford and Alfred Hitchcock elevated genre filmmaking to an art form, pushing the boundaries of storytelling and leaving audiences on the edge of their seats. This genre gold rush wasn't just about making money (although that certainly didn't hurt). It also allowed filmmakers to explore different storytelling techniques and create a kind of cinematic shorthand. If you saw a cowboy hat and a dusty town, you knew you were in for a Western. A damsel in distress and a mustache-twirling villain? You were probably watching a melodrama. Now, the success of these early genre films did have its drawbacks. Some critics argued that it stifled creativity and led to formulaic storytelling. But hey, you can't please everyone, right? So in the next episode, we will see in detail about the Western Genre. Exciting isn't it? Until then bye from Gopal.

In our final episode, we chat about what makes this franchise special and why it continues to be popular. We also postulate about whether there would be a remake and how that could work.Let us know what you think and chat with us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WTF_WithUsTheme Music Credit: Ultra Lights by Stefan Kartenberg (c) copyright 2020 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial  (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/JeffSpeed68/61225 Ft: Javolenus 

In this week's episode we discuss The idea of whether country radio will accept or ignore Beyoncé's new music which became a flashpoint on social media on Tuesday when word spread about an Oklahoma station's terse response to a fan requesting the new release. “I requested ‘Texas Hold ‘Em' at my local country radio station,” wrote a user on X (formerly Twitter), “and after requesting, I received an email from the radio station stating ‘We do not play Beyoncé on KYKC as we are a country music station.

With Pale Rider we talked about how Clint Eastwood was able to modernize certain western tropes for the modern era. That concept is something he perfects in 1992's Unforgiven. The 90's Western is often seen as the Eastwood's Magnum Opus, and it's hard to dispute that. It was released to rave reactions from audiences, lauded by critics, and got Eastwood his first Oscar for both Best Picture and Best Director. The film is often seen as the "end" of the Western Genre. Why is that? That's what we're here to find out

Scott is joined by Ryan McMaken of the Mises Institute to talk about nuclear weapons and the boom-bust cycle. They begin with a discussion of McMaken's recent article pushing back against common arguments for the production of more nuclear weapons. McMaken argues that, even if you accept the premise that we need nuclear weapons for deterrence, it does not follow that we need thousands of them. They then move on to the economy. They first dig into what's actually behind today's inflation and looming recession. That leads to a broader discussion about why some of the most important goods and services, like housing and healthcare, are growing more expensive.

 Download Episode. Scott is joined by Ryan McMaken of the Mises Institute to talk about nuclear weapons and the boom-bust cycle. They begin with a discussion of McMaken's recent article pushing back against common arguments for the production of more nuclear weapons. McMaken argues that, even if you accept the premise that we need nuclear weapons for deterrence, it does not follow that we need thousands of them. They then move on to the economy. They first dig into what's actually behind today's inflation and looming recession. That leads to a broader discussion about why some of the most important goods and services, like housing and healthcare, are growing more expensive.

Turns out, when we said, "We're watching that Kurt Russel movie where he talks in a funny accent and gathers together a bunch of ragtag, scruffy looking, teeth-missing people who he trains and leads to take down a big baddy," we meant Tombstone, not Miracle. Ok. That was joke. Thanks to the real big baddy (scheduling), the guys were not able to find a time to record like normal. Please enjoy this episode recorded with Cooper and Quinn, and we'll be back to normal next time. Miracle will get squeezed in the schedule somehow. Why do people, Americans in particular, love the Western Genre? Is Tombstone a good Western? IS VAL KILMER AWESOME??? These are the topics discussed today!

Im Western „The Drover's Wife – die Legende von Molly Johnson“ steht dagegen eine indigene Frau im Mittelpunkt der Szene im australischen Outback. Ein postkolonialer, feministischer Film der indigenen australischen Regisseurin Leah Purcell, der das Western-Genre auf den Kopf stellt. Dabei hat Purcell nicht nur Regie geführt und das Drehbuch geschrieben – sie hat auch gleich noch die Hauptrolle übernommen.

Scott talks with Ryan McMaken about free markets and free trade. They begin with a discussion about the role of the Mises Institute in the push for sound money. Scott then asks McMaken about the nuances of debating capitalism vs. socialism while living under a mixed economy. They then discuss the changing role of the United States in the world. McMaken does believe a “rules-based international order” existed after the fall of the USSR. But that the U.S. destroyed it by invading Iraq in 2003. McMaken argues that the best path forward is a commitment to the classical liberal ideals of free markets at home and nonintervention abroad.  Discussed on the show: Scott's Kennedy Appearance  Mises.org Creature from Jekyll Island by G.

Howdy. Klatscht die Sporen an die Stiefel, heute geht es in den wilden Westen! Nein, ich meine nicht Anime aus dem Western-Genre. Vielmehr neigen wir unseren Kopf dieses mal in Richtung USA und schauen uns an, wie sich Cartoons von Anime unterscheiden und wo sie sich vielleicht sogar ähneln und stellen die große Frage: Ist das überhaupt noch Anime?.

Today, Amanda and Julia sit down to discuss a very specific film genre: westerns.  After seeing The Harder They Fall (dir. Jeymes Samuel "The Bullitts"), they dive into the origins of the western genre. Revisionist westerns aren't trying to change history, they're challenging the tropes and traditions of the genre itself. And what does western film have to say about industrialization, masculinity, isolation, and the myth of manifest destiny? In other words, why do we like cowboys so much? The frontier is no more, and outlaws don't get to make the rules. American fixation with a lawless land where men with guns take things into their own hands has wildly interesting connotations in hindsight.

Scott is joined by Ryan McMaken from the Mises Institute to talk about the state of the economy. McMaken describes how we are still living with the consequences of the 2008 financial crisis as well as the response to it. However, while the government created a ton of new money back then, they took steps to avoid flooding the entire economy with those new dollars. But McMaken explains that those steps have been absent during the aggressive money printing that's occurred since the pandemic began. Something that has likely played a major role in the inflating prices of goods we are seeing now. Lastly, McMaken touches on what's going on with the national labor shortage and why it's surprising him.     Discussed on the show: The Creature from Jekyll Island by G.W.

Heute zu Gast ist Schauspieler Oliver Masucci. Mit „Er ist wieder da“ hat Oliver den Sprung vom Theater zum Film geschafft und die Serie „Dark“ ihn dann zum internationalen Star gemacht. Von seinem aktuellen Film „Schachnovelle“ kann Steven nur schwärmen und Oliver erklärt, warum ihm Filme wie dieser so wichtig sind. Als Kind hat ihn das Western-Genre sehr geprägt und in der Jugend hat er „Top Gun“ sehr oft aus der Videothek geliehen. Sein Vater hätte ihn lieber in der Familien-Gastronomie als auf der Theater-Bühne gesehen und seine Kinder am liebsten in einem Superheldenfilm. Die Erklärungen, warum er kein Showreel haben möchte und sich auch nicht mehr wirklich auf Rollen vorbereitet, sind so verblüffend wie einleuchtend. Oliver erzählt, wie er in einem Ferrari in das italienische Bergdorf seines Vaters fährt, welches Defizit alle Schauspieler in Hollywood haben und warum er am liebsten mit Oskar Roehler Backgammon spielen würde. Ein Gespräch über Nationalstolz, Kontaktlinsen-Beauftragte am Set und schlecht zu Ende erzählte Serien.

Mike & Alex discuss the last great western video game genre: classical or western rpgs. If, as we have previously discussed, the rpg genre definitionally represents the conduct of intelligent life in fiction, the western rpg (in contradistiction to the deterministic jrpg) does so in-deterministically, affording the player political and social agency over the course of the game world

Brian and Jusef had so much fun the last time around that they couldn't wait to come back with another FlyBy conversation! Once again pairing a modern classic with a classic - this time around centered around the Western Genre. The boys discuss 1969's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, directed by George Roy Hill and written by William Goldman - the story of Wild West outlaws Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman), and his partner the "Sundance Kid" (Robert Redford). A story that paired perfectly with one of our favorite movies of 2018 (and criminally underrated) - The Sisters Brothers is directed by Jacques Audiard from a screenplay he co-wrote with Thomas Bidegain starring John C. Reilly and Joaquin Phoenix, as the brothers Sisters, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Riz Ahmed. MATURE CONTENT... "Flyover State Of Film Theme"-Composed by Barry J.

Staff picks are back for Movies that Make Us and we recorded together for the first time since Covid hit back in March 2020 and we couldn't be more excited. We recorded over at Watchtower Coffee and Comics in Salt Lake City and had a wonderful time. For July, we each selected three films from the Western Genre.Tracy recommends checking out the 1903 film The Great Train Robbery to see one of the earliest narrative films and it was made just a few years from the old west itself. His next pick is Stagecoach starring John Wayne and directed by John Ford. His last selection is True Grit directed by the Coen brothers starring Hailee Steifeld, Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and Josh Brolin.Val suggests you watch Tombstone, the classic Val Kilmer film. 3:10 to Yuma, the 2007 version with Christian Bale and Russel Crowe. Finally she suggests the Magnificent Seven (2016) starring Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, and Peter Sarsgaard. Last, but certainly not least was Jake's selection of Big Jake (1971) starring John Wayne and the last film George Sherman directed. His second selection is Silverado (1985) and its star studded cast including John Cleese, Danny Glover, and Kevin Costner. His final selection is Back to the Future 3 with Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. We hope you'll check out some of these films and for the rest of July, we are talking about movies bringing people back together. Our next movie is The First Wives Club, followed by Red, and then ending with Muppets Take Manhattan.Did you miss the video premier of this episode?

Scott talks to Ryan McMaken about nuclear proliferation. McMaken describes two lessons that other countries have learned from the U.S. about nukes: (1) America will use the threat of an emerging nuclear program as an excuse for invasion, as it did in Iraq and threatens to do in Iran, and (2) America has so far been unwilling to make serious threats against any nuclear-armed country. Although the first trend seems like it would be an obstacle for any country wishing to protect itself from the threat of war with the U.S., North Korea provides a recent example of a country that chose to pursue a deterrent nuclear program. But although it greatly lessens the possibility of war, this isn’t necessarily a good thing. A nuclear-armed world may make us safer in some immediate respects, but overall, only greatly increases the possibility of disastrous global conflict.

An diesem Corona-Ostern und/oder zu unserem siebten Geburtstag gibt es wieder den traditionellen oWestern. Wir besprechen unseren allerersten Film von Howard Hawks. Es geht um Schauspielkunst, sehr viele Rinder, eine Herkules-Leistung von Cutter Chris Nyby, um eine neue Tiefe im Western-Genre, Männerbilder und Homoerotik. Am Ende wird noch die eine oder andere Gürtelschnalle gestohlen.

Hallo zusammen Jan, Michi und Niels streifen ganz unserer Tradition folgend durch Steppen und den wilden Westen. Nun ja, zumindest haben wir uns mit BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN einen Film ausgesucht, der den "gay cowboy" zum geflügelten Wort werden ließ und gleich nach MISSISSIPPI BURNING wieder mal ein heißes Eisen anfasst – ohne jedoch in die gleich Fettnäpfchen zu treten freilich. Ang Lee's Verfilmung einer Kurzgeschichte über zwei Schafhirten, die sich am zurückgelegenen Titel gebenden Brokeback Mountain ineinander verlieben, darf als Meilenstein angesehen werden. Denn im ur-amerikanischsten aller Genres, den Western die Protagonisten homosexuell sein zu lassen, das ist schon eine Nummer. Wir hangeln uns in dieser Folge anhand prägnanter Szenen des wundervoll fotografierten und zum niederknien grandios gespielten Films an Themen und dem Spiel mit dem Western-Genre ab, wagen Analysen und Interpretationen und sind am Ende selbst ganz verzückt, wie gut der Handlung die Abarbeitung mit diesem Genre steht. Wir wünschen euch frohe "oWestern"!

Scott interviews Ryan McMaken about the current coronavirus-induced financial slowdown and what it might mean in terms of the next big crash. McMaken explains that with America’s incredibly over-financialized economy, practically the only tool that the government knows how to use is huge injections of liquidity directly into the financial sector. This of course only eases the pain temporarily, delaying (and worsening) the eventual popping of the bubble. One danger Scott and McMaken foresee is that there can now be no principled opposition to those who clamor for government-sponsored, “free” programs like universal health care, free college, and other expensive social packages, since our government continues to demonstrate that it is perfectly willing to create a trillion dollars out of thin air and hand it out to certain people. The only question, at that point, is who gets the money.

There are rumblings in Hollywood that the traditional western as a movie genre is dead. We beg to differ. Tom and Larry offer their theories as to why western films have fallen into disfavor, and what needs to be done to fix it.

Last month in our Facebook group guest host Terry Gant ran a poll asking about particular film genres' inherent capacity to either reveal the glory of God or obscure it. This episode is the first step in giving that question a thorough answer. We're starting that process by taking a look at the Western genre and then reviewing a classic film, The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly [1967]. In this Jeff and Terry: (1) Identify the defining marks of the Western genre (2) Detail the specific plot structures used in the genre (3) Give a review worth of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (4) Nail down the ways this genre pushes viewers to see the glory of God as well as where it unhelpfully pushes back against a Christ-centered view of reality. So let's get to it! Hit that download button, press play, and let's get started on Ep. 51 of The Pop Culture Coram Deo Podcast!
