Still Sharp, Still Savage, Still Satirical! Join us as we dissect Mary Harron's controversial and iconic adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's “American Psycho.” From Christian Bale's career-defining performance as Patrick Bateman to the film's razor-sharp commentary on yuppie culture and consumerism, we explore why this psychological horror/black comedy hybrid continues to resonate (and shock) audiences 25 years later. We'll delve into the brilliant work of Harron and screenwriter Guinevere Turner, the stellar supporting cast including Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Reese Witherspoon, and more, and unpack the film's enduring legacy as a dark masterpiece. Is it a biting satire? A disturbing portrait of madness? Or both? Listen in to find out!Where To Watch American Psycho

Okay so *wait a second*—*Nosferatu* is *back* again? This time in 2024? Look, I've been trying to follow this for like fifteen years now, and I'm still not sure how we got here. First there was *Dracula*, right? Bram Stoker writes that, full of bats and aristocratic bloodsucking and all that. Then Germany goes rogue in the 1920s and makes *Nosferatu*, but it's not called *Dracula*, even though it's *clearly* Dracula, because they didn't *ask permission*. So they change the names and hope nobody notices. Spoiler: the Stoker estate noticed. *Hard.* Lawsuits happen. Copies get burned. And yet somehow Nosferatu survives… because that's what Nosferatu does.*Now*, in 2024, there's a new *Nosferatu*—directed by Robert Eggers, no less—and Clay and Amanda are here on *The Rotten Horror Picture Show* podcast to dig into all the shadowy nooks and eerie crannies of this beautifully gothic reimagining. Is it a remake of the illegal remake of *Dracula*? A re-remake of the original that couldn't legally exist? Is that legal now? Is anything? Does copyright even *mean* anything when every monster has at least three origin stories?Clay and Amanda are unafraid to untangle the legal and artistic roots of the most iconic bald vampire in cinematic history. With moody visuals, creeping dread, and Willem Dafoe's legacy breathing down everyone's necks, this new take on *Nosferatu* asks: do we still fear the things we thought we buried? And also: how long before *Nosferatu* joins the MCU?So, if you're someone who enjoys slow-burn horror, public domain loopholes, and podcasts that know the difference between an homage and an infringement, then this episode is for you. Even if copyright law makes your head hurt. Especially if it does.And be sure to hit up patreon.com/thepenskyfile to hear all the coverage of remakes and reboots this year!

Fandom Podcast Network co-founders Kyle and Kevin welcome back special guests, author and friend of the FPN John Mosby, and one of the original FPN co-founders... Norman! Norman came to us with an excellent idea and twist to Couch Potato Theater. Couch Potato Theater is where we celebrate our favorite movies.... usually. But on this special edition of Couch Potato Theater we look back at films that maybe we, or the public opinion originally didn't like! But now, we may have a different opinion, welcome to Couch Potato Theater: Be Kind & Rewind - John Carter (2012). We also welcome special guest, author and journalist John Mosby. John attended a London 2012 John Carter press conference, and shares his experience on that event and the article he wrote on the movie. That Impact Online article can be found here: https://www.impactonline.co/features/669-john-carter-battling-martians-and-marketing Plot: John Carter, a Civil War veteran, who in 1868 was trying to live a normal life, is "asked" by the Army to join, but he refuses, so he is locked up. He escapes and is pursued. Eventually they run into some Indians, and there's a gunfight. Carter seeks refuge in a cave. While there, he encounters someone who is holding some kind of medallion. When Carter touches it, he finds himself in a place where he can leap incredible heights, among other things. He later encounters beings he has never seen before. He meets a woman who helps him to discover that he is on Mars, and he learns that some kind of unrest is going on. John Carter is a 2012 American science fiction action-adventure film directed by Andrew Stanton, written by Stanton, Mark Andrews, and Michael Chabon, and based on A Princess of Mars, the first book in the Barsoom series of novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Produced by Jim Morris, Colin Wilson and Lindsey Collins, it stars Taylor Kitsch in the title role, with Lynn Collins, Samantha Morton, Mark Strong, Ciarán Hinds, Dominic West, James Purefoy and Willem Dafoe co-starring in supporting roles.

As Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan's most recent collaboration, Sinners, is dominating the domestic and worldwide box office, we thought it would be a good time to look at their first project together, Fruitvale Station. Fruitvale is partially the telling of the tragic story of the killing of Oscar Grant in Oakland CA on New Year's Day 2009, but it's so much more. Beyond being a mere recreation of events and the conveying of the awful facts, the film is a beautiful portrait of a young man who is struggling against a system that is set against him and his own difficulties. In addition to being a star making vehicle for Michael B. Jordan, the film features incredible performances from Melonie Diaz, Octavia Spencer, and Ariana Neal. Coogler and co. received a lot of critical praise for the film which set him up to helm massive projects like Creed and the Black Panther movies for Marvel. Joining us for our look back is Chicago based film critic Zachary Lee who is a regular contributor to Roger Ebert, Letterboxd, Interview Magazine, Chicago Reader, Think Christian, and more.

“Sinema Kulübü'müzün 21'inci buluşmasında Yorgos Lanthimos'un yönettiği, başrollerinde Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo ve Willem Dafoe'nun yer aldığı, 2023 yılı yapımı, orijinal adı “Poor Things” olan, bizde “Zavallılar” adıyla gösterime giren filmi konuştuk.Filmde, Victoria dönemi atmosferinde, eksantrik bilim insanı Dr. Godwin Baxter tarafından yeniden hayata döndürülen Bella Baxter'ın, kendi kimliğini ve özgürlüğünü keşfetme yolculuğunu anlatılıyor. Bella, ilk başta dünyaya karşı tamamen masum ve bilgisiz bir şekilde yaklaşırken, zamanla hem bireysel arzularını hem de toplumsal baskıları sorgulamaya başlıyor.Victoria dönemi Kraliçe Viktoriya'nın hüküm sürdüğü 1837-1901 yıllarına karşılık geliyor ve bu dönem sanayi devrimi ile birlikte emek sömürüsü ve işçi hakları gibi toplumsal ve ekonomik konularla anılıyor. Günümüzde de iş hayatını ve toplumsal hayatı kökten değiştiren teknolojik ve siyasi bir atmosferden geçerken film yaşadıklarımıza bir anlamda ışık tutuyor.Film, büyüme, özgürleşme ve kişisel iradenin oluşumu temalarını, mizahi bir dille ve çarpıcı görselliklerle işliyor. Bella'nın hikâyesi, özellikle kadınların kendi hayatları üzerinde söz sahibi olabilmesi, toplumun dayattığı rollerin aşılması ve bireyin yeniden doğarak kendi yolunu çizmesi üzerine derinlikli bir anlatı sunuyor. Yorgos Lanthimos, seyirciyi hem görsel olarak büyülüyor hem de rahatsız edici derecede doğrudan sorular sormaya teşvik ediyor. Gerçekten üzerinde uzun uzun konuşabileceğimiz replikler var.Film, 96. Akademi Ödülleri'nde En İyi Film, En İyi Yönetmen ve En İyi Uyarlama Senaryo'nun da aralarında olduğu 11 dalda Oscar'a aday gösterildi. En İyi Kadın Oyuncu (Emma Stone), En İyi Prodüksiyon Tasarımı, En İyi Kostüm Tasarımı ve En İyi Makyaj ve Saç Tasarımı olmak üzere dört dalda Oscar ödülüne layık görüldü.Biz de oyunculukları çok beğendik, çünkü çok fantastik öğeler barındıran bir ortamda o karakterleri yaratmak bir ustalık işi.

Grease up your pompadours and get your switchblades ready. This week we're taking a look at Walter Hill's 1984 rock and roll fable, Streets of Fire. Coming in hot off the back of the 1982 smash hit buddy cop picture, 48 Hours, Hill and co-writer Larry Gross could write their own checks and dictate their own destinies and sold Hill's dream project, a retro nostalgia vehicle about tough guys, femme fatales, bad guys, and pop music but when the movie landed in the screening rooms at Universal they knew they had a problem. Streets of Fire is weird as hell and out of step with what movie-going teens of the summer of 1984 were looking for. So dire was the outcome that Streets of Fire ended up getting killed in its opening weekend against one of the weakest Star Trek movies and then the following week Ghostbusters dropped and until Beverly Hills Cop came out it was the only thing anyone wanted to talk about.In the years that followed Streets of Fire gained a cult following that appreciates what Hill was trying to do. It's an upgrade from The Warriors in many ways and the sound track, paired with powerhouse performances from Diane Lane and Willem Dafoe in early roles, delivers a wildly entertaining, deeply silly action movie with an enduring legacy.

Born To Watch - A Movie Podcast

In this emotionally charged episode of Born to Watch, the team marches into the searing heat and moral quagmire of Oliver Stone's Platoon (1986), a film that's arguably the definitive Vietnam War movie of its era. Whitey, G-Man, and the V8 Interrupter Dan revisit the battlefield with a mix of reverence, nostalgia, and hard truths, dissecting the film's impact, legacy, and the deep emotional chord it struck back in the day—and still does today.Kicking off with stories of their first encounters with Platoon, the guys quickly descend into one of their most layered and personal discussions to date. Whitey recalls being told by his dad he wasn't allowed to watch the film—despite already seeing Apocalypse Now and Mad Max at age six. That rebellious spark only deepened his bond with the movie once he finally got his hands on it as a teen. Dan admits to cheating on the crew, watching Platoon with his war-obsessed neighbours back in the ‘80s, completely unaware at the time of the deeper commentary Stone was laying down. For G-Man, Platoon was a rite of passage during his VHS-rented youth, watched on loop like a war-soaked mixtape.But the nostalgia is tempered with fresh eyes. This time around, Platoon hits different. What once felt like badass war action now reveals itself as a gut-punching meditation on morality, survival, and the breakdown of innocence. The guys explore the duality of the film's core—the Elias vs. Barnes dichotomy—representing each soldier's internal war. It's not just America vs. the Viet Cong; it's soul vs. savagery, duty vs. darkness.The cast? Stacked. And not just with stars—but future legends. Tom Berenger and Willem Dafoe snagged Oscar nods for roles that flipped their usual screen personas. Charlie Sheen's Chris Taylor acts as the audience's moral compass, thrust into a world of chaos with no road map. And in the wings, you catch early glimpses of Johnny Depp, Forest Whitaker, Kevin Dillon, and even a scene-stealing John C. McGinley. The Born to Watch crew marvel at the rawness and authenticity that pulses through every frame—helped in no small part by the film's unique decision to shoot in sequence, letting the emotional weight build naturally.And then there's the man behind the camera: Oliver Stone. A real-life Vietnam vet, Stone channelled his firsthand experience into a script that didn't just depict war—it unpacked it, exposed it, and dared to say that sometimes, the worst of humanity wears your own uniform. The pod digs into how Stone's commitment to realism (aided by military advisor Dale Dye, another vet) shaped everything from the dialogue to the weight of each bullet fired.There's the usual Born to Watch flavor too—G-Man's got the box office and awards rundown (hello, Best Picture and Best Director at the ‘87 Oscars), while Dan goes on a bandana-fueled tangent and questions whether Lieutenant Wolfe might be cinema's most inept officer. Whitey can't resist diving into the musical legacy, from that haunting Samuel Barber theme to how the soundtrack now echoes the trauma and tragedy of a generation.Of course, it wouldn't be Born to Watch without Listen to This, Voicemail Roulette (shoutout to “Will the Worky”), and the always-fun “Hit, Sleeper, Dud” segment, where Heartbreak Ridge, Extreme Prejudice, and King Kong Lives get their moment in the spotlight—or the firing line.By the end, the question looms large: Platoon or Apocalypse Now? Each host makes their case in what might be the pod's most respectful debate yet. As G-Man puts it, Platoon is about the war within, while Apocalypse Now is a descent into madness. Either way, both films leave an indelible mark—and so does this episode.So strap in, pop smoke, and join the squad as Born to Watch heads into the heart of darkness with Platoon. This one's for the grunts, the film buffs, and anyone who ever got lost in the jungle of morality and memory.
