[REBROADCAST FROM August 6, 2026] The new film "Late Fame" follows a New York City poet named Ed Saxberger (played by Willem Dafoe) who was working in relative obscurity until a group of young people became obsessed with his work. Director Kent Jones and actors Dafoe and Edmund Donovan discuss the film. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

The latest episode of The Interviews is a barnstormer, folks, in which the legendary Willem Dafoe talks to Alex Godfrey about his new movie, Late Fame, running a farm, and not celebrating birthdays; Chris Hewitt has a wild chat with Stop! That! Train! stars, Jujubee and Ginger Minj; and we bring you an excerpt from Harry Stainer's spoilerific chat with Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma director, Jane Schoenbrun (the rest, along with Team Empire's deep dive, is over at Empire+). Don't listen to that one until you've seen the film, for obvious reasons. Three very different interviews for you to enjoy. So please do enjoy!

Send us Fan MailThis week on Fabulous Film & Friends, have we got a treat for you! We're talking 1985's To Live and Die in L.A., directed by the legendary William Friedkin and starring William Petersen, Willem Dafoe, John Pankow, Darlanne Fluegel, Debra Feuer, John Turturro, and Dean Stockwell. And if you look closely, you'll notice Gary Cole as a credit-card-forging stooge. But he was not listed in the credits of the movie. Speaking of not listed in the credits, joining me today is a guest we haven't had on the Triple F since 2022, Cinematographer, AC, Handyman, Grandpa and all-around terrific friend and colleague, the one and only Vance Piper. Before we hit the freeway driving the wrong way doing 90, the synopsis:In To Live and Die in LA, Richard Chance, a cocky, take-no-prisoners, rule-flouting Secret Service agent vows to take down Rick Masters, a dangerous counterfeiter, after the artist-turned-forger kills his partner. Chance drags Vukovich, a by-the-book colleague into the hunt that quickly stops looking like law enforcement and starts increasingly appearing like a personal vendetta crossing the line into the criminal. Masters' trail runs through fake money, small time hoods, big time power players and dirty deals within a gritty and hauntingly unforgettable Los Angeles of the mid 1980's. What secrets will we uncover about the making of this beguiling film? Find out! Watch the video podcast on Youtube:https://youtu.be/cUam9z6g2fk

We all have that one movie from the '80s. Maybe yours is Back to the Future. Maybe it's The Breakfast Club, The Goonies or Say Anything. It doesn't necessarily have to be the greatest movie ever made. It just has to be the movie that found you at exactly the right time and somehow never let go. For Steve, that movie has always been Streets of Fire. Walter Hill's 1984 “rock & roll fable” gave us a strange and wonderful world of neon streets, roaring motorcycles, pounding music, Michael Paré, Diane Lane, Amy Madigan and a very young Willem Dafoe in one of the more memorable pairs of overalls in cinematic history. It wasn't a box-office hit. It never became the franchise its creators once envisioned. But Streets of Fire found its audience over the years, becoming a cult favorite with a visual style and soundtrack that remain unmistakable more than four decades later. This week, we're opening the Stuck in the '80s archives and traveling back 15 years to revisit our original tribute to Streets of Fire, first released in 2011. And after you've taken that trip back with us, maybe ask yourself: What was your special movie of the '80s?

If aliens landed on Earth tomorrow, would humanity unite to welcome our new extraterrestrial neighbors… or would we immediately start arguing about who owns the spaceship?You already know the answer.This episode of The Rizzuto Show begins with a perfectly reasonable hypothetical: UFOs have landed and aliens are officially confirmed to be on Earth. How are you feeling? Curious? Terrified? Mostly annoyed that the 24-hour news cycle will somehow make it the third-biggest story of the afternoon?The crew dives into UFOs becoming UAPs, government disclosures, Bob Lazar, Area 51 and whether actual extraterrestrial visitors could finally unite humanity. Rafe thinks having one common alien enemy might finally turn us all into citizens of Earth. Moon isn't buying that optimism and figures we'd probably start fighting over which country gets custody of the aliens before they even get out of the ship. Sounds about right.Back on Earth, St. Louis is getting a little Hollywood treatment with The Streak, a sports comedy filming locally about Caltech's legendary basketball team snapping a 310-game losing streak. The production needs roughly 1,800 volunteer extras for basketball crowd scenes, meaning you too can spend five hours waiting around for your glorious half-second of blurry cinematic immortality. At least they're bringing stand-up comedians in to entertain the extras between takes.Then we enter conspiracy territory with Tropical Storm Dolly. Yes, shortly after Dolly Parton's passing, the next named Atlantic storm happens to be Dolly. No, they didn't name it after her. Yes, the names were already determined. And yes, people online are still turning it into a conspiracy because apparently coincidence was removed from the Internet's vocabulary sometime around 2017. It's the kind of discussion a comedy podcast was genetically engineered to handle.The show also remembers the incredible Tim Curry, looking back at everything from The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Clue to Home Alone 2, Congo and his nightmare-fueling performance as Pennywise in the 1990 TV adaptation of It. Somehow that horrifying sewer scene aired on network television and an entire generation of children was simply expected to sleep afterward. The '90s were built different.Crap on Celebrities brings even more chaos: the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal saga, Jamie Foxx discussing changes made to Django Unchained, a Quentin Tarantino-written Cliff Booth project, the original Sandlot cast reuniting for Dugout Dads, and the revelation that Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez grew up to become a firefighter. There is also a detour into a bizarre 2015 incident involving actor Mike Vitar because apparently even The Sandlot can't survive this show without us finding something weird.Ozzy Osbourne is getting his own Halloween Horror Nights attraction, Boston is celebrating 50 years with previously unreleased demos, Eric Clapton and John Mayer have a limited-edition guitar collection benefiting Clapton's recovery center, and Rupert Grint is returning as an adult Ron Weasley on Broadway. It's celebrity news, music news and pop culture commentary delivered with the level of professionalism you've come to expect from people debating alien treaties earlier in the episode.But then comes the real scientific research:Who has the most aura?According to an online ranking of effortless presence, charisma and coolness, Keanu Reeves sits at number one.Number two?Jesus.That's correct. According to the Internet, Keanu Reeves has officially edged out Jesus in aura.John Cena, Willem Dafoe, Christian Bale, Tupac, Robert Downey Jr., Matthew McConaughey, Michael Jackson, Jim Carrey, The Rock and Henry Cavill also make appearances as the crew debates who actually deserves to rank among humanity's most effortlessly cool people. Michael Jackson at number eleven? Rafe has questions. And frankly, so should you.Finally, the crew returns to Dolly Parton's remarkable legacy and the mountain of projects she left behind, including products, productions and even a song intended for release around her 100th birthday. Meaning Dolly apparently planned her content calendar farther into the future than most of us have planned lunch.Aliens. UFO conspiracies. Tim Curry. Dolly Parton. Hollywood. Ozzy. The Sandlot. Celebrity gossip. And Keanu Reeves defeating the Son of God in an online aura ranking.That's your comedy podcast for the day.Humanity might not be ready for aliens.We're apparently barely ready for a celebrity aura poll.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy have seven new reviews for this week, including an early one that is a call to arms. Steve goes solo this week on a documentary about tornado chasers (Never Stop Chasing), a bizarre sci-fi film featuring Noomi Rapace (Hot Spot) and the sixth film in a still very profitable horror franchise (Insidious: Out of the Further). The duo also look at Willem Dafoe as a former poet whose work is rediscovered (Late Fame). Enid Plyton's WWII-era children's book gets a modern telling (The Magic Faraway Tree). Jason Statham is back to avenge his boss and bust up some human traffickers (Mutiny). Finally, they are getting the word out on next week's release of the rescued film that Warner Bros. and David Zaslav had no intention of releasing and why you should see it (Coyote vs. Acme). 3:27 - Review Catch Up 7:07 - Never Stop Chasing 20:12 - Late Fame 30:13 - Ad Break (00:28:43.70) 32:13 - Hot Spot 41:49 - The Magic Faraway Tree 57:50 - Insidious: Out of the Further 1:08:03 - Ad Break (01:04:33.02) 1:10:03 - Mutiny 1:22:54 - Coyote vs. Acme CLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNG Be sure to check out Erik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten Tomatoes Critics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, IL Chicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streaming Physical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.

Imagine the hit musical Grease, except that everyone dropped out of Rydell High School and became biker gangs or losers.  Now reduce the number of catchy, memorable hit songs for your drunken karaoke fests and set it entirely at night in a crime-infested city with not a trace of Batman.  Sounds like a blast, don't it?  Well, it's actually a pretty cool film by the director of The Warriors and 48 Hours, featuring some notable cast members like a young Willem Dafoe doing his creepy bad guy thing.  The music's not that bad after all, a weird but appealing blend of cheesy 80's rock and doo-wop.  Top it all off with a really awesome sledgehammer battle, and we have Streets of Fire!  Y'know what?  I like this movie a hell of a lot more than Grease!  "Tell me more, tell me more", you say?  Listen to this episode.  It's electrifying!

Chuck Smith is a New York-based documentary filmmaker, television producer and author.

Late Fame tells a story of an artist who is finally "found" later in his life. Throughout the film, the lead character, Ed Saxberger (played by Willem Dafoe), must navigate the modern art world. The same group of artists yearns for the times that Saxberger comes from and the artists who existed in the circles in New York City at that time. In Late Fame, we see director Kent Jones navigate modern New York and its inhabitants. We were lucky enough to chat with Kent Jones about the film. Listen to our interview here. Kent Jones explains why Dafoe was essentially the only viable choice to play a poet-lead since Dafoe genuinely performs poetry and previously played Pasolini. He ties the thought together by tying it back to a Robert De Niro line about Brando having "the poetry of his whole being." The conversation moves into the film's love-letter-to-New-York quality, with the director talking about decades of watching the city change, the presence of the past haunting the characters (especially in Soho, tied to Dafoe's own history with the Wooster Group), and how gentrification and the "attention economy" have reshaped what it even means to try to make art in New York now.

It is a busy, wild week at the movies as Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy review 11 of the best and worst of them in quite the divide in the lineup. They replay their thoughts on a recovery drama from Sundance (Union County). A kidnapped woman is told she is infected with something deadly (Hellcat). Kids took a road trip believing their band is going to open for Green Day (Nimrods) while Kristen Stewart & Alia Shawkat are in a stoner comedy (The Wrong Girls). Willem Dafoe is a Greek billionaire with family issues (The Birthday Party) plus Jeff Daniels & Jared Harris have their own issues as Reagan and Gorbachev (The Brink of War). Sunny Sandler handles the pressure of a school musical and an ill mother (Don't Say Good Luck) while Jane Schoenbrun humorously connects sex and violence through reality and fantasy (Teenage Sex and Death At Camp Miasma).

We're ranking EVERY theatrically released Spider-Man movie from WORST to BEST, from Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield to Tom Holland, Miles Morales, and the brand-new Spider-Man: Brand New Day! Which Spider-Man movie belongs at #1? Is Spider-Man 2 still the greatest Spider-Man film ever made? Where do Into the Spider-Verse and Across the Spider-Verse rank? And can Tom Holland's latest adventure, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, really crack the Top 3? We break down all 11 Spider-Man movies, including the highs, the disasters, the best villains, the greatest action scenes, unforgettable theater experiences, and the moments that defined Spider-Man on the big screen.

"Late Fame" is an American drama film directed by Kent Jones, written by Samy Burch, and based on the posthumously published novella by Arthur Schnitzler. It stars Willem Dafoe as a legendary New York poet who rediscovers his artistic passion after befriending an eccentric group of young creatives played by Greta Lee and Edmund Donovan. The film had its world premiere in the Orizzonti section of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for Jones's direction, Burch's script, and the performances. Jones was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work and experience making the film, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in New York at the Film Forum and Film at Lincoln Center, and opens in Los Angeles on August 14th at the Laemmle Royal, with additional cities to follow from Magnolia Pictures.

After that unhinged Wicker trailer sent the whole internet into a spin, we're deep diving the fictional characters we were never supposed to find attractive… and yet. We're talking a gruff saber-tooth tiger with a heart of gold, the Marvel villain whose fan fiction was so unhinged it earned him a spinoff, and the wettest of wet-blanket sitcom romantics who somehow ages into a green flag. Plus the Twilight nobody we should've been rooting for the whole time, a brooding Finding Nemo fish the internet has turned into a full-blown daddy, and the Bear character with the most beautiful arc on TV.

In this episode, I sit down with portrait photographer Betina LaPlante to explore the philosophy and practice behind her visceral, intimate portraiture. Topics covered: Why Betina puts the camera down before she ever starts shooting — and how building rapport before a session transforms the images she gets The difference between directing a subject and witnessing one — and why she almost always chooses to witness Her work photographing actors like Charles Dance and Christopher Lloyd, and what it means to reveal the person behind the persona How shooting tethered (something she rarely does) became the right call for one particularly camera-shy subject Her 35mm lens, her reliance on natural light, and why she's learning to work with continuous artificial lights Her lifelong love of black and white — from developing film in her bathroom darkroom to converting digital portraits today Why hands are central to her portraits: what they reveal, why they're harder to perform with, and how they carry a life's worth of character The ethics of intimacy in portraiture — and why she has never felt the need to use discomfort as a tool Dream subjects she'd love to photograph: Tilda Swinton, Willem Dafoe, Christopher Walken, and more Her advice for photographers still finding their voice: shoot what you genuinely love Find Betina LaPlante: Instagram: https://instagram.com/betinatheplante Website: https://betinaplante.com Sponsor links: StyleCloud — beautifully designed website templates for photographers: https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/stylecloud | Code: nerdyphoto15 (15% off) Luminar Neo — AI-powered photo editing software: https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/luminar | Code: nerdyphoto ($10 off) SiteGround — web hosting with increased storage capacity: https://siteground.com/go/nerdy Support The Nerdy Photographer Sign Up for The Power Up - https://nerdyphotographer.com/newsletter Get some artwork from the print shop - https://art.caseyfphoto.com Buy some Nerdy Photographer Merch - https://nerdyphoto.dashery.com Use our link to buy new gear from Adorama - https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/adorama Use our link to buy used gear from KEH - https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/keh Follow along with us on social media @thenerdyphoto About The Podcast The Nerdy Photographer Podcast is written and produced by Casey Fatchett.

Samy Burch's new film, LATE FAME, stars Willem Dafoe and Greta Lee and opens this coming weekend; her big debut, MAY DECEMBER, earned her an Oscar nomination. This singular screenwriter has maybe always been a sicko at heart: she's relating to the one and only Thora Birch in GHOST WORLD, an artsy outsider teen who's trying to make sense of a the world she's constantly scrutinizing -- and being scrutinized by.  Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Statham Month at The Action Desk.

Marty and Clif give Ryan the movie Streets of Fire to watch.Before diving into this week's picks, Ryan talks physical media, boutique Blu-rays and what it takes to launch a new independent film distribution company. First up is Streets of Fire, Walter Hill's neon-soaked rock 'n' roll fairy tale starring Michael Paré, Diane Lane and Willem Dafoe. Clif, Marty and Ryan celebrate the film's unforgettable visual style, killer soundtrack, larger-than-life characters and why this gloriously over-the-top cult classic still feels perfectly '80s. Then it's on to The Last Stop in Yuma County, the tense crime thriller from Francis Galluppi.

En este episodio les contamos todo sobre el anuncio de los títulos que veremos en la 83ª edición del Festival de Venecia, marcada por la escasez de mujeres directoras y por la presencia en competición de dos coproducciones españolas: 'Bunker', con Penélope Cruz y Javier Bardem, y 'Sucederá esta noche' de Nanni Moretti. También hablaremos con Carlos Cuevas, que presenta 'El anfitrión', sátira dramática en la que comparte pantalla con Willem Dafoe; y con Alberto Ammann, que protagoniza 'La mujer de la fila, un emocionante relato sobre el día a día de las familias de los reclusos. Pero hay otros estrenos interesantes que llegan a la cartelera. Por ejemplo, 'El mensaje' o películas sobre deportes como 'El sueño americano' o 'Dink', en Apple TV. Además, hay cine español con 'Tres de más', una comedia familiar encabezada por Salva Reina y Kira Miró. Viajamos a Barcelona para visitar el rodaje de la segunda temporada de 'El otro lado', la serie de Berto Romero; y hablamos con Jauma Ripoll, director del Atlàntida Film Fest, que se celebra en Mallorca del 24 de julio al 2 de agosto.

Dracula, The Hills Have Eyes, Nope, Maximum Overdrive, and Deep Blue Sea headline this episode of This Week in Horror History, covering July 20 through July 26. Summer horror gets seductive, sun-scorched, mechanical, extraterrestrial, and shark-infested as we explore gothic vampires, desert survival horror, reverse-horror gaming, Jordan Peele's terrifying vision of spectacle, Stephen King's killer-machine apocalypse, and genetically engineered sharks loose inside an underwater laboratory.  Inside this episode:July 20, 1979 — Dracula releases in the United StatesFrank Langella gives Count Dracula a dangerous combination of gothic romance, theatrical charm, and supernatural menace. This version of Bram Stoker's vampire proves that evil does not always need to force its way through the door. Sometimes it gets invited inside.July 22, 1977 — The Hills Have Eyes premieres in Tucson, ArizonaWes Craven turns an ordinary family road trip into a brutal desert survival nightmare. When a shortcut leaves the Carter family stranded far from civilization, the open landscape becomes a trap filled with heat, isolation, violence, and another family watching from the hills.July 23, 2020 — Carrion releasesThis reverse-horror video game flips the familiar monster formula by letting players become the creature. A growing mass of teeth, tendrils, and hunger escapes through a research facility while terrified scientists and guards discover that containment has completely failed.July 22, 2022 — Nope releases in U.S. theatersJordan Peele turns the sky into a haunted house in a strange and ambitious collision of UFO horror, creature-feature spectacle, Hollywood exploitation, western imagery, animal behavior, and the dangerous human need to capture the impossible on camera.Deep-Cut Spotlight — Maximum OverdriveStephen King steps behind the camera for one of the loudest and most gloriously unhinged killer-machine movies of the 1980s. After Earth passes through the tail of a comet, trucks, vending machines, arcade games, lawn equipment, and other everyday technology suddenly turn against humanity. At the Dixie Boy truck stop, a group of survivors becomes trapped by eighteen-wheelers that appear to have developed personalities, grudges, and a deep hatred of human beings. With a goblin-faced truck, massive explosions, diner panic, homicidal machinery, and AC/DC blasting through the chaos, Maximum Overdrive remains a greasy, absurd, and unforgettable piece of Stephen King horror history.Horror Birthdays This Week: Diana Rigg, Josh Hartnett, Willem Dafoe, and Lynda Carter enter the birthday roll, bringing connections to Theatre of Blood, Last Night in Soho, Halloween H20, The Faculty, 30 Days of Night, Trap, Shadow of the Vampire, The Lighthouse, Nosferatu, and The Initiation of Sarah.Weekly Recommendation — Deep Blue Sea Researchers inside an isolated underwater facility genetically engineer mako sharks while searching for a medical breakthrough. Unfortunately, making enormous predators more intelligent turns out to be a catastrophically bad idea. Packed with violent storms, flooding corridors, underwater laboratories, corporate hubris, giant sharks, and one of the most memorable shock moments in 1990s horror, Deep Blue Sea remains a fast, fun, and wonderfully ridiculous summer creature feature. From Dracula and The Hills Have Eyes to Carrion, Nope, Maximum Overdrive, and Deep Blue Sea, this week in horror history proves that summer terror can wait inside a gothic mansion, watch from the desert hills, escape from a laboratory, descend from the sky, take control of an eighteen-wheeler, or circle silently beneath the water.

El actor presenta 'El anfitrión', la historia de un magnate afincado en Grecia (sospechosamente parecido a Aristóteles Onassis e interpretado por Willem Dafoe) que, durante una lujosa celebración marcada por el duelo por la muerte de su hijo, verá cómo una cadena de sucesos inesperados amenaza su poder y su propio destino. Con Carlos Cuevas charlamos de la película, de Dafoe, y de cómo se presenta su verano.

David Lynch's Wild at Heart  This week we return to a World of Dreams and the Land of Oz through the dark and chaotic eyes of David Lynch (January 20, 1946 - January 16, 2025). A Homage/Love Letter to the classic MGM masterpiece, Lynch's 1990 Wild at Heart is a pulsating cinematic shotgun blast. The story of young lovers breaking parole and crossing the country to find a future that is never clear, Lynch's dark romantic comedy is unlike anything seen before, but inspiring to cinema for decades after. With allusions to Fleming's 1939 Technicolor Classic, as well as nods to Elvis, Americana, and the great tradition of cinematic road trips, Wild at Heart cannot be adequately described, it can only be experienced. This week Mr. Chavez & I describe our relationship to this film (his history with it and my first viewing nearly a decade ago). We discuss our history (and dismissa - minel) of Lynch followed by the embracing of this great American filmmaker (also mine). With particular attention paid to the over the top brilliance of all involved in front of the camera, including: Nicolas Cage, Laura Dern, Diane Ladd, Harry Dean Stanton, Isabella Rosellini, J.E. Freeman, Calvin Lockhart, Grace Zabriskie, Crispin Glover, and Willem Dafoe. We are thrilled to dive into a great film from an incredible director. Take a listen and let us know what you think. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com.
