"Hallo, har du lyst til å spille trommer i Stage Dolls"?Hils på Thomas Farstad. "Han nye" i Stage Dolls. Trommisen som digga "Wings of Steel" og "Soldiers Gun" i barndommen, sitter nå og holder stødig takt bak Torstein Flakne og Terje Storli.Mellom lydsjekk og konsert på Sentrum Scene før jul, rakk Thomas en tur innom Gammal Maiden for en prat om gamleda'r. Samme dag fikk vi nyheten om at Nicko McBrain ga seg som trommis i Iron Maiden, så vi fikk nok å nerde om. Metallica på TV i 1992, Piece Of Mind-kassetten, Where Eagles Dare, Aces High, korps, coverband, Numskull, Torch, Sugar Louise etc. Two Trønders Talking! Så koselig atte.
Broadsword calling Danny Boy. It's Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood doing really cool commando stuff! Where Eagles Dare is a World War II action classic but it doesn't quite have the recognition that we feel it should. We're covering this solely because we love and it want others to love it too. Guest Paul Kind joins to proclaim his love for it as well. ___ Please consider joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wwibofficial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whywasntitbetter TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wwibpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wwib_official Twitter: https://twitter.com/WWIBpodcast Subscribe!

The tracks include some of the group's early singles, as well as songs from their 1982 album Walk Among Us, their 1983 album Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood, and the 1985 compilation album Legacy of Brutality, which was curated exclusively by vocalist Glenn Danzig after the band had dissolved in 1983.

The Literary Edition Vi fortsätter summera skräckåret 2023 i gammal beprövad Vargtimmen-tradition men med viss försiktig slagsida åt litteratur; bara Patreon-mecenater hänger med hela vägen fram till utmärkelsen årets film. Tomas kräver David Gordon Greens omedelbara avgång efter att han först – Gordon Green alltså – slaktat Halloween och per förra året gett sig på Exorcisten-varumärket, och Lars är mikrofonkåt utöver det acceptabla på tal om Ariel Helds Blötdjur. Eller som vi brukar säga: *Blötdjur…?*. Vi pratar också om: hundar som slåss i öknen, Evil Dead Rise, Mats Strandberg, Pestblommor, Lina Arvidsson, Vertigo Förlag, Anders Fager, Kaitlyn Dever, No One Will Save You, Disney+, Whitley Strieber, Mel Gibson, Signs, det att äta och gråta samtidigt, Konferensen, nervösa Stanley Kubrick-influenser, Josefine Bornebusch, Katia Winter, Solsidan, Johannes Johansson, @krj_johansson, det att göra en vinst på bortåt 1100% på något som Insidious: The Red Door, Patrick Wilson, Leigh Whannell, James Wan, Ghost, The Devil on Trial, talking heads men inte bandet Talking Heads, Ed och Lorraine Warren, American Nightmare, Brenda Tent, V/H/S 85, Exit, American Psycho, Skam, sub-sub-genren man vs. beast, Cocaine Bear, Elizabeth Banks, Bridesmaids, Cocaine Bear: The True Story, Kristoffer Noheden, Gravdikter, Alexandra Nedstam, John Donne, the graveyard school, Malte Persson, Enys Men, Skinnamarink, Cornwall, Pink Floyd, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, J-horror, New Religion, Eraserhead, Donnie Darko, Maniac-remaken, Birth: Rebirth, Marin Ireland, Hanteringen av odöda, Thanksgiving, Death Proof, Planet Terror, Eli Roth, Green Inferno, Black Friday, Scream, Misfits, Where Eagles Dare, det att fuska med Nazareth-låten Love Hurts, Död snö 2, David Renklint, Huggormars högland, Doppelgänger Förlag, Joni Huttunen, home invasion-genren, True Detective, Emelie Estling, Ola Larsson, Five Nights at Freddy's, Blumhouse, Willys Wonderland, Nicholas Cage, FromBeyond Podcast, How to Sell a Haunted Hause, Grady Hendrix, Paperbacks from Hell, Hemnet, Paul Austers New York-trilogi, The Deads och naturligt nog något litet om det utmärka hardcorepunkbandet Atrocious Madness från Portland, Oregon. Bakom Patreon-väggen kan alla höra oss fortsätta skrika om allt möjligt från skräckåret 2023, bland annat den fågelfixerade T Kingfischer (pen name för Ursula Vernon) som ägnar en stor del av inledningen till A House With Good Bones att beskriva en gam och låta huvudpersonen biologen resonera kring varför mammas gata är döpt efter en gam som inte finns varken i North Carolina eller i Nordamerika. (Mamma är konstig och huset är konstigt och boken är en habil, om än inte i den konkreta bemärkelsen beboelig, southern gothic av dussinsorten.)

Miguel Pino (El Niño de la Hipoteca, Exceso) nos presta 'Piece of Mind' de Iron Maiden. Este es el segundo episodio que dedicaremos al ‘Piece of Mind' de Iron Maiden, con el guitarrista y productor Miguel Pino como invitado. Si no habéis escuchado el anterior, os recomiendo que lo hagáis antes de continuar. Miguel Pino es un guitarrista y productor de Barcelona con una trayectoria musical de más de treinta años. Actualmente toca con las bandas El Niño de la Hipoteca y Exceso —a quienes también ha producido— y con Hotel Cochambre, uno de los grupos de versiones más activos de Cataluña. También ha tocado con Beth y Ojos de Brujo. Miguel ejerce de productor y técnico de sonido en su propio estudio, La Catacumba, donde ha colaborado con artistas como Izal, Ferran Exceso, Sandra Bautista, Dani Tejedor o Gnaposs, entre muchos otros. En 2007 publicó su propio proyecto llamado Radioactiva, un extraordinario disco de rock fusión para el que contó con el baterista David Simó y el bajista Javi Martín (Ojos de Brujo). En esta segunda entrega dedicada al ‘Piece of Mind', Miguel Pino y yo hablamos, entre otras cosas, de: La música, los sonidos y las letras de las dos primeras canciones del disco: «Where Eagles Dare» y «Revelations». La influencia de las historias sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial en las letras de Steve Harris y Bruce Dickinson. La sorprendente cantidad de músicos que pasaron por Iron Maiden antes de que grabaran siquiera su primera maqueta, ‘The Soundhouse Tapes'. La expulsión y readmisión del guitarrista Dave Murray en la banda. La primera vez que cada uno de nosotros les vio en directo. La época en la que el cantante Blaze Bayley sustituyó a Bruce Dickinson. Iron Maiden como fenómeno transgeneracional. Y por el camino nos encontramos con Metallica, The Police, Ozzy Osbourne, Bjork, Tino Casal, David Bowie, Manolo García, Anthrax, The Doors, Aleister Crowley, La Trinca y ‘Fraggle Rock', entre otros.

Shawn returns to discuss the WWII submarine adventure thriller U-571 along with Matt & Todd. Released in 2000 U-571 met with some controversy over historical facts despite simply being an adventure film. Taken in it's own merits U-571 is a thrilling and entertaining film comparable to Where Eagles Dare and The Guns of Navarone. Written and directed by Jonathan Mostow. Starring Matthew McConaughey, Bill Paxton, Harvey Keitel, Jake Weber, Jack Noteworthy and Jon Bon Jovi.
The Exit Plan: Mergers and Acquisitions for Creative Entrepreneurs
Welcome to The Exit Plan, a podcast for business owners interested in learning more about selling their business. In this episode, we are joined by Richard Tompkins, Co-Founder of Where Eagles Dare and an award winning comms expert. Richard has experience working with a broad range of clients from exciting sustainable start-ups to FTSE100 companies. He has experience across sectors including travel, sport, finance, FMCG, aviation, technology and music. Richard's journey into acquisitions began during his tenure as Managing Director at W Communications, where he helped grow the agency and embarked on an expansion drive that included several acquisitions. These acquisitions were motivated by the agency's desire for continuous growth and cost-efficiency. Richard emphasizes the importance of evaluating opportunities and understanding the cultural aspects of integration, which played a significant role in the success of these acquisitions. He shares insights into valuation, financing, and the challenges involved in integrating acquired teams. After leaving W Communications in 2020, Richard launched Where Eagles Dare in September of the same year. The first year focused on establishing the agency, and the second year saw growth and the restructuring of ownership through a management buyout (MBO) in February. Richard's advice for business owners considering acquisitions or exits includes getting legal and financial matters in order, being honest about post-acquisition intentions and capabilities, recognizing the importance of relationships, understanding the realistic value of your business, and considering the impact of earnings on your workload and expectations. Discover valuable lessons and expert advice from a comms pro who's been there, done that. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: Richard's experience with acquisitions during his time as Managing Director at W Communications. Valuation methods for acquisitions and the importance of assessing staffing and growth potential. Challenges and considerations during the integration of acquired teams, including cultural aspects. The transition from W Communications to launching Wear Eagles Dare in 2020. The initial challenges and adaptations faced during the first years of Wear Eagles Dare. Advice for business owners considering acquisitions or exits, including financial and relationship considerations. CONNECT WITH RICHARD: Website | www.whereeaglesdare.co.uk LinkedIn | Richard Tompkins THE EXIT PLAN The Exit Plan is for business owners that are interested in learning more about how to sell their business. Each episode Barnaby Cook interviews someone who has bought or sold a business - either a creative agency, or a production company. The conversation gets under the skin of why they wanted to sell, or were looking to acquire, how the deal was structured, how they agreed upon a valuation and what lessons they learnt along the way.
In this episode we're infiltrating the third reich with two WW2 epics made 40-years apart. One is a 1960's blockbuster, the other is a knowing homage to genres. Today we're talking about Brian Hutton's Where Eagles Dare versus Quentin Tarintino's Inglourious Basterds. We also talk about watching Goonies in Capetown.
Richard Walter Jenkins Jr. was born in November of 1925 in Wales to an hard drinking coal miner cum absentee father and a pub barmaid. Growing up in a rough steel mill town under the roof of his older sister and her husband, he left school to work in the mines after his sister's husband (like both parents before him) fell ill, due to the unregulated, non-unionized working conditions, before joining the RAF, where he served as navigator. His omnipresent sideline in theatrical productions led to adoption by acting tutor and schoolmaster Philip Burton, and he fell under the wing of none other than Sir John Gielgud. As part of a Gielgud-led touring company, he came Stateside, winning both a World Theatre Award and a succession of Hollywood film roles. His leading role in The Robe both kicked off a proper filmic career and entangled him in a decades long, fiery on and off relationship with Elizabeth Taylor, who'd star with him in numerous films and tabloid headlines throughout the 60s and 70s. Starring in everything from critical accolade-bedecked dreck like Look Back in Anger, Equus and Night of the Iguana and excellent films like The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, 1984 or Where Eagles Dare to cult absurdities Candy, The Medusa Touch and Exorcist II, Burton was arguably more famed for his offscreen antics than his own theatrical talents...and had a rollercoaster of a career that reflected both his notable highs and precipitous lows. Join us as we take on one of the most notorious thespians to walk the boards and chew the cinematic scenery, the late great Richard Burton, only here on Weird Scenes!

Before we had 3 hits from Hell, The Misfits had 12 Hits from Hell. Tragically, the Misfits - 12 Hits from Hell would be a project lost to time.

If you were to blend the dark, heavy riffs of Sabbath & Zeppelin with the straight-ahead power of AC/DC and then add the incredible vocal crooning style of The Doors' frontman Jim Morrison, mixing everything with a generous infusion of punk rock angst and Halloween themed, gothic horror vibes to tie it all together, the end result would be DANZIG, the “modern classic” sounding “horror metal” band fronted by GLENN DANZIG (formerly of Misfits & Samhain). Prepare to enjoy yourself some quality horror croon from deep within the Bunkerpoon and head downstairs for some “dingle, dangle (followed by a liberal dose of ‘mind bleach')” so you can finally comprehend what “between your cheek and gum” actually means while “making mugshots great again…so they can nay-nay” when you JOIN US as we dig deep into “The Johnny Cash of Metal” and dive into the eerie, inky-black darkness of DANZIG - Inside The Metal: The 80's & 90's.

It's the 8th birthday of the What We've Watched Podcast and so we watched When Eight Bells Toll, a very early Anthony Hopkins "James Bond" styled film adapted from the book by Alistair MacLean of Where Eagles Dare and other classics. Please pardon the background hum in a few places - some loud outside noise that got picked up by the mic.
Al Murray and James Holland are joined by the Private Eye editor Ian Hislop, and cartoonist Nick Newman to talk about their favourite Second World War films.They reminisce about their first time watching A Bridge Too Far, the historical innacuracies of Where Eagles Dare and the human aspect of the Dam Busters.A Goalhanger Films productionProduced by Harry LinekerExec Producer: Tony PastorTwitter: #WeHaveWays @WeHaveWaysPodWebsite: www.wehavewayspod.comEmail: wehavewayspodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Hey there listeners. In this episode, we start a mini-series of panels talking about WW II mission movies that inspired my upcoming novel The Last Night to Kill Nazis from Clash Books. My novel comes out this summer, during the pre-order period (You can get it from the Clash site, Amazon, Barnes, and Noble, or basically any indie bookstore) we will celebrate by talking about the movies that inspired it. In this episode, I am joined by two friends. Writers Ivan Zoric and Dino Parenti join me to do a double Eastwood the 1968 classic WW2 mission movie Where Eagles Dare and the 1970 film Kelly's Heroes. The second film was new to all of us.
Iron Maiden are one of the biggest bands in the world, touring the planet in their own customized 747 flown by lead singer Bruce Dickinson. But in 1983, Maiden were still forging their way, trying to solidify their lineup and making their name through relentless touring. After the success of Number of the Beast, the band wanted to take things to the next level and with the addition of Nicko McBrain on drums they finally had their classic lineup set which is still intact today. Thanks to Nicko on the skins, the confidence and power of vocalist Bruce Dickinson, the sci-fi lyrics and extraordinary bass of leader Steve Harris and the frantic guitar licks of Dave Murray & Adrian Smith, Iron Maiden had the lineup that would set them on a course for global superstardom. Piece of Mind would be the first of 5 legendary albums from this lineup in the 1980s and the 5 of them would reunite in 2000 (along with 3rd guitarist Janick Gers) to reclaim their thrones as the ultimate heavy metal band. They're still going today and The Wolf & Action Jackson will be catching their Future Past Tour in Europe this summer. From Nicko's incredible drum work on Where Eagles Dare to Bruce's haunting vocals on Revelations to the ultimate Maiden runner with The Trooper, this album showcases the talent of all in the band. For once, they actually received airplay on US radio and The Trooper charted (unlike the 1st single The Flight of Icarus). Despite no love from MTV, the album went platinum in the US and the fans turned out in droves for their 130+ date tour. We go track by track, think about it in comparison to the other Iron Maiden albums we've reviewed over the years (#14 Live After Death, #38 Somewhere in Time, #39 Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, #65 Number of the Beast, #66 Fear of the Dark, plus #48 review of Bruce Dickinson speaking tour) and discuss how this was the real beginning of the band we love.

For our second episode of 2023, we look back, as we did with Neil Diamond's only starring role last week, at the one and only acting role the late, great football star Pelé would ever make: Escape to Victory, a football-themed World War II drama that would also feature Michael Caine, Sylvester Stallone and Max von Sydow. ----more---- TRANSCRIPT From Los Angeles, California, the Entertainment Capital of the World, it's The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today. On December 29th, while this show was on hiatus, the football world lost Edson Arantes de Nascimento, the legend known around the world by his single word nickname, Pelé. Even if you weren't a particular fan of football in the 1960s and 1970s, you more than likely knew who Pelé was. The International Olympic Committee named him the Athlete of the Century in 1999. Time Magazine named him one of the 100 most important people of the Twentieth Century. In the Brazilian city of Santos, where a fifteen year old Pelé got his professional start in 1956, a museum dedicated to all things Pelé opened in 2014, with more than 2400 items devoted to his life and careers. After he retired from football in 1977, in an exhibition game between the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League, where Pelé had been playing for three years, and Santos, his former club of nineteen years, Pelé would become a global ambassador for the sport, and record an album of music alongside fellow Brazilian Sergio Mendes to accompany a documentary about his life. And because this is a podcast about 80s movies, he would, of course, attempt a career in motion pictures. And those who were going to be responsible for making Pelé a movie star were not going to take any chances. Because Pelé was the most famous footballer on the planet, the movie was going to somehow be about football. American film producer Freddie Fields and his partner on the film, future Carolco Films co-owner Mario Kassar, would find their story for Escape to Victory in a Hungarian movie from 1961 called Two Halves in Hell. The film was based on a tale of a 1942 football match between German soldiers and their Ukrainian prisoners of war during World War II, known as the Death Match. That film, directed by Zoltán Fábri, would win several awards at film festivals worldwide, and was ripe for the American remake treatment. However, there would need to be some changes to the story. The action would be moved from Soviet Russia to France, and the character being built for Pelé, Corporal Luis Fernandez, would be identified as being from Trinidad, as Brazil would not enter the European theatre of war until July of 1944. While the script was being written, Fields and Kassar would get busy putting the film together. In July 1979, it was announced that Brian Hutton, who had directed two other World War II-set movies, 1968's Where Eagles Dare and 1970's Kelly's Heroes, would helm this new movie, and that Lloyd Bridges was being considered for a role. A writer for Daily Variety reporting on Hutton's hire speculated that Clint Eastwood, who had starred in both Where Eagles Dare and Kelly's Heroes, would also star in the film, but that never happened. In mid-September 1979, it was announced that legendary French actor Alain Delon would star in the film, and that Hutton had already left the project. Two weeks later, it was announced that two-time Academy Award-winning filmmaker John Huston would direct the project, which would now star Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone. Amongst the locations Huston scouted to shoot the film at included Austria, Canada, England, Germany, and Ireland, but in the end, they would shoot in and around Budapest, Hungary, because they could shoot the film in the then-communist country for around $12m, versus $30m to $35m it would have cost to shoot in a more democratic country. On a side note, Stallone ended up coming on to the film in a most unusual way. The actor was looking to buy a beach house in Malibu, and one of the houses he looked at was owned by Freddie Fields. After touring the house, Stallone found Fields sitting on the sundeck, and the actor informed the producer that the house was not quite big enough for himself, his wife and two sons. The two men got to talking, and Fields started to tell Stallone about this sports-based World War II movie he was about to make with John Huston as director. Although Stallone knew almost nothing about football, he was intrigued by the idea of getting to work with a director of Huston's stature. And wouldn't you know it, Fields just happened to have a copy of the script right here. Stallone took the script home, and agreed to be in the film three days later. Not only would Pelé star in the film alongside Caine and Stallone, he would also work with Huston and the crew to design the football action in the film. Nearly two dozen professional football players, including Bobby Moore, the captain of the World Cup-winning 1966 British football team, would either have major roles in the film or play secondary characters in the film. Another member of that team, goalkeeper Gordon Banks, would assist Pelé in getting Stallone to look more like a goalkeeper on camera. The movie would also hire Desmond Llewelyn, the beloved British character actor best known as Q in 17 James Bond movies made between 1963 and 1999, as a technical advisor, as Llewelyn had spent five years as a POW in German prison camps during World War II. In early 1980, Max von Sydow, still shooting his role as Ming the Merciless in Mike Hedges' big screen adaptation of Flash Gordon, would be cast as Von Steiner, the Nazi Major who operates the POW camp. Shooting would begin on May 26, 1980, after Stallone was done shooting Nighthawks in New York City. Stallone would spend his weekends off that film to work with Gordon Banks on how to better look like a goalie, and to lose no less than forty pounds to better look like a prisoner of war, a sort of method acting Stallone was not really known for. But apparently, Stallone didn't really listen to Banks at first, as on his first day of shooting, the actor would throw himself around his goal area with a kind of reckless abandon, dislocating his shoulder and breaking a rib. The production would need to rearrange the shooting schedule to give Stallone time to heal. After he returned to the set, he would better heed Banks' advice, although he would end up breaking another rib and, in one scene with Pelé, breaking a finger trying to stop one of the superstar footballer's shots. Other than Stallone's injuries, production on the film ran rather smoothly for nearly two months, until they were forced to shut production down completely on July 29th, eight days after the American Screen Actors Guild went on strike over residuals from emerging revenue streams like videocassettes and pay television. Since several actors like Stallone were SAG members, they had to stop working on the 21st, and the film completed all shots not using those actors a week later. Although the strike would last for slightly more than three months, Fields and Kassar were able to sign an interim agreement with the Guild to allow the film, which only had five days of shooting left when production was shut down, to resume shooting on August 31st. Huston would spend the rest of 1980 and the first four months of 1981 working with his production team to get the film edited and ready for release. At the suggestion of Sylvester Stallone, Huston would hire Bill Conti to compose the score, the fifth movie starring Stallone that Conti would write the score to in as many years. In May 1981, two months before the film's release, its American distributor, announced a slight change in the name of the movie. Instead of Escape to Victory, which would be retained by most every other distributor around the world, the film would simply be called Victory when it hit theatres on July 31st. Because the studio was worried that the full title would be a spoiler. And it actually would be. You'll notice I have not really said anything about the story, because if you haven't seen the movie yet, and you feel compelled to check it out because of this episode, I don't want to spoil it for you. And if you have seen the movie before, you already know what happens. Victory would face very stiff competition when it opened at 692 theatres on July 31st. In addition to the Chevy Chase comedy Under the Rainbow, the film would go up against a re-release of The Empire Strikes Back and also contend with the continued success of Raiders of the Lost Ark and and Superman II. The film would gross $2.4m in its first weekend, which would place it sixth on the box office charts, but that was slightly more than a third of what the Star Wars sequel would bring in that weekend, after having initially opened in theatres 14 months earlier. Victory would barely beat Arthur, which was in its third week of release but hadn't become the breakout success it would be in the weeks to come, but it lose out to the critically panned disaster known as John Derek's Tarzan the Ape Man in its second week. But hey, naked Bo Derek on the big screen, even more naked than in 10. Can't blame horny guys at the time for that. In its second week of release, Victory would drop from sixth place to twelfth, with only $1.6m in ticket sales, and lose half of its screens in its third week, falling to thirteenth place with barely $1m taken in at the box office. After that fourth week, the film was no longer being tracked by Paramount, having earned just $10.85m. Internationally, the film would gross another $16m, since football was a more popular sport outside America. In fact, it was the seventh most popular movie released in 1981, outside of America. The film would barely break even once it was gone from theatres, but it would never become much of a cult film once it was released on videotape and to cable channels. Although audiences didn't quite go for the movie, critics were rather kind to the film. Vincent Canby of the New York Times would note that while the form of the film was highly conventional, the manner in which it was executed was not. An unnamed critic for the Hollywood trade publication would call the film “old fashioned,” and meant it as a compliment. And Gavin Bainbridge of the UK movie magazine Empire would highlight how John Huston created enough on-field magic and nostalgia for the game, and would note the kind of sportsmanship shown in the film that had sadly become extinct in the succeeding forty years. In later years, Huston would admit he hated the idea of the movie and only did it for the paycheck, while Caine would tell one reporter while doing press for another movie that the only reason he made Victory was to meet and work with Pelé. Stallone would admit that shooting his scenes as a goalie were more physically and mentally demanding than on either of the Rocky movies that had been made up to that time. Of course, Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone would see far greater successes in their careers as the 80s continued on, while Pelé pretty much kept future on-screen appearances more rooted in reality, appearing as himself on a few global television shows and movie documentaries. We're actually planning on a small series for the final decade of John Huston's directing career, with a diverse set of movies that include the musical Annie, the mob comedy Prizzi's Honor, and the lyrical adaptation of James Joyce's The Dead. Look for that to come later this year. Thank you for joining us. We'll talk again soon, when Episode 100 is released. Remember to visit this episode's page on our website, The80sMoviePodcast.com, for extra materials about Pelé and the movie Victory. The 80s Movies Podcast has been researched, written, narrated and edited by Edward Havens for Idiosyncratic Entertainment. Thank you again. Good night.

Two Harrys to start us off. Parry- Trust and Parry and James with Memphis Blues. Henry Allen and his Orchestra- Dinah Lou. Allen was one of the major trumpeters of the Swing era and played with King Oliver, Fletcher Henderson, Coleman Hawkins and Louis Armstrong. Count Basie and his Kansas City seven- Lester Leaps in. Lester Young being the Lester. The group released six versions of the song between 1939- 1948. Sidney Bechet and his New Orleans Feetwarmers- Stormy Jones, Mugsy Spanier and his Ragtime Band- That Da, Da Strain. Robert Earl- If you love me. A popular tenor in the 1950s. His son, also Robert Earl ,is the founder of Planet Holywood restaurants. Orcestration is by Wally Stott. Musical director of Philips Records at the time. Stott was an arranger, composer and conductor. Worked with Shirley Bassey, Noel Coward, Dusty Springfield and Scott Walker, amongst others. As well as composing Film and T.V scores- from Watership Down to the music for the TV series Dallas. In 1970 Stott undertook gender reassignment surgery and lived the rest of her life as Angela Morely. She went on to have highly succesful career in the US. Amazing story and life. Perfect for Forgotten Songs. The luck of the Irish next, Jack Daly- When the poppies bloom again. He ran out of luck I'm afraid. Could only take about a minute of his warbling! Much beter is- Sydney MacEwan and She moved through the fair. MacEwan was an ordained priest born in Glasgow in 1908. He started his recording career in 1934 and work extensively on the BBC. He did many world tours. Very popular in his day. A favourite from George Formby- In a little Wigan Garden. We finish with the very dark Miss Otis regrets from Jay Wilbur and Elizabethan Serenade, from the Ron Goodwin Orchestra. Goodwin was a profilific film composer- Where Eagles Dare, 633 Squadron and the theme to the Margaret Rutherford Miss Marple film. Later used in 'Kill Bill'.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 185 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers. This is one of the most important episodes we have ever done. That is not a joke. There is a major threat to the future of off roading in Moab.

Jeremy Rowan of Moab-based Outlaw Jeep Adventures joins Corey, Jessy and Matson to discuss from the front lines what is happening, why it is happening and what you can do, no matter where you live, to help preserve the future of off roading in Moab. Do not take this lightly folks. Listen to this episode or watch it at YouTube.com/ModernJeeper... then take action and share it with your friends and fellow off roaders. This is an important moment, and everyone can help.

Depending on which side of the pond you're on, PIECE OF MIND, the fourth offering from NWOBHM legends IRON MAIDEN, was released on May 16 and/or May 28, 1983, and irregardless of which side of the pond you're on, the worldwide multitudes of metal fans rejoiced with gladness. As an homage to Nicko McBrain's “maiden voyage” as the “drum-shaman” for this, his first album behind the kit with the mighty Maiden, we generated and recorded a vast assortment of quality on-mic burps with embedded, backwards messages encouraging you to belch your way into a state of blissful absurdity which, when played backwards, actually sounds WAY eviler than when played forwards (which should give everyone “pizza mind”). It's high time to get literary, historical, and downright Biblical. Get ready to bear witness to our newly updated “Black Album Reference” (which is directly due to “the most amazing idea” we've ever had) before you answer the call of “The Ball Master” and ask, “What Ho said the t'ing?” (if you know what “Amin”) and for God's sake, take some precautionary measures to ensure you “don't let the hog slip out” when you “steal some maneurysms” and JOIN US to celebrate the progressive metal, NWOBHM genius of IRON MAIDEN's PIECE OF MIND.

Art and craft beer go hand in hand, and Vancouver, BC's Hypha Project are truly taking it to the next level. Co-Founder Cris Ohama sat down with Cee to break down how and why art has played such a huge role in the formation of their brewery, how their events are bringing in new and diverse drinkers to craft beer, their plans for their own brick-and-mortar brewery and art space, and how the scene in BC is growing. They got into Hypha's Nova Galactus, Metatheion, Synchrosentient, and their collab with Bright Eye, Where Eagles Dare. This was a great chat, cheers!

Our guest on Pod #015 is Jon Deninson a former Troop Commander and Battery Commander of 4/73 Bty when they deployed on multiple Operation HERRICK tours in Afghanistan. On this episode we talk about Jon's first tour of Afghanistan in command of an STA Fire Support Team as part of the 3 Para Battle Group on HERRICK 4. We also discuss the various roles the unit subsequently carried out including Brigade Recce Force, Theatre Surveillance Troop and operations conducted as a dismounted recce platoon. These roles often involved close combat with a determined enemy and a small unit of 55 men suffered 3 killed in action and 10 wounded in action, several with life changing injuries, over this period. We finish with Jon's book choice on Desert Island dits Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel's Targeted Assassinations by Ronen Bergman. His film choice is Where Eagles Dare. The teams book choices this episode are Mountain Commandos at War in the Falklands. The Royal Marines Mountain and Arctic Warfare Cadre in Action during the 1982 Conflict by Rod Boswell and George Cross Heroes by Michael Ashcroft.

Our guest on Pod #012 is Tim Miller who completed a tour as BC of 4/73 Bty. On this podcast we discuss why he joined the Army, his time with the unit and the challenges he faced in keeping STA patrols relevant in an ever changing world. The main focus of the episode is on the Long Range Desert Group. A specialist unit who pioneered long range operations in that difficult environment and were much more than a taxi service for an embryonic SAS. This episode is a precursor to a future pod on STA patrols in Afghanistan where they carried out some of the longest desert patrols since WW2. We finish with Tim's book choice on Desert Island dits Undercover War by Harry McCallion. His film choice is Where Eagles Dare. The teams book choices this episode are My Friend The Mercenary by James Brabazon and The Jungle Is Neutral by F Spencer Chapman .

Rachel and Simon speak with the prolific and genre-bending author Geoff Dyer. Geoff's many books include the novel “Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi,” “But Beautiful” (about jazz), “Yoga For People Who Can't Be Bothered To Do It,” “Zona” (about Andrei Tarkovsky's film “Stalker”) and, most recently, “Broadsword Calling Danny Boy” (on the film “Where Eagles Dare”). His books have been translated into twenty-four languages and he currently lives in Los Angeles where he is Writer in Residence at the University of Southern California. We spoke with Geoff about his early life and his entry into writing, fiction versus non-fiction, and the economics of his writing life.

S2 E1 GRAN THEFT KELLY Season 2 premiere! Eastwood's 2008 Cranksterpiece Gran Torino paired with 1970's Kelly's Heroes, a WWII action-comedy which reunites Clint and director Brian Hutton, who made the cool-eyed WWII action masterpiece Where Eagles Dare with Clint and Richard Burton a few years earlier. Where Eagles Dare was our favorite movie in S1! Will the follow-up match up? Don Rickles is in it and he (all due respect) is no Richard Burton. Does Gran Torino hold up 12 years later? It was kind of a big deal back in 2008. Ken and Jack discuss with returning film historian, screenwriter and celebrity chef Erik. KELLY'S HEROES: 00:03:07GRAN TORINO: 00:33:07
S1 E8 WHERE EDGARS DARE. Clint takes a supporting role to Richard Burton in the Men on a Mission WWII action classic Where Eagles Dare, directed by Brian Hutton, from 1969. And then... Leonardo DiCaprio. Is. J. Edgar. From 2011, J. Edgar is one of Eastwood's more surprising late-career projects, quite unlike anything else we have seen so far - is that a good thing? Jack and Ken go the heights of a mountainous Nazi fortress to the depths of Hoover's sock drawer in an epic discussion replete with heavily desaturated flashbacks. Spoiler: Two of our favorite movies so far! WHERE EAGLES DARE: 00:01:45J. EDGAR: 00:33:06
Welcome to the first episode of the show for 2020! While it's been a difficult year so far, I trust that everyone is currently staying safe, healthy and sheltered in these unfortunately uncertain times. The podcast has been on hiatus for awhile, but I plan to return with more episodes this year, beginning with this one, which carries a more personal focus. Last year, 2019, was the 25th anniversary of my father's passing and to acknowledge how he affected my love of movie music, I wanted to devote time to showcasing the film scores he enjoyed and introduced to me. This includes wonderful classics such as THE BLUE MAX, STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE and PATTON from Jerry Goldsmith, music for the James Bond series, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA by Maurice Jarre and Ron Goodwin's exciting music for WHERE EAGLES DARE and 633 SQUADRON. Along with these selections, I share some anecdotes and memories of my dad. I realize this is an unusually personal focus, but I hope you find it entertaining nonetheless!

With Geoff Dyer, one of our most wayward and wittiest writers, about his new book Broadsword Calling Danny Boy, a frame-by-frame discussion of the classic war movie Where Eagles Dare. Learn from Geoff about the importance of squinting in Clint Eastwood's thespian toolbox, about the joy of snow-patrol Action Man, about why he shied away from plans for "Alistair MacLean: A Critical Reappraisal", and about why on earth Geoff would follow a learned book about Tarkovsky's Stalker with a discussion of a piece of late-60s schlock. Plus: what happens when you get on the wrong side of Julian Barnes. Presented by Sam Leith.
