In this episode, Sean and James discuss the 1959 film Pork Chop Hill, which stars Gregory Peck, Woody Strode, Rip Torn, George Peppard, and many other future stars of the big and small screens. Based upon the 1956 book by U.S. military historian Brigadier General S. L. A. Marshall, Pork Chop Hill depicts the fierce First Battle of Pork Chop Hill between the U.S. Army's 7th Infantry Division and Chinese and North Korean forces in April 1953.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Devin & James are back in the Den to bid a final "ciao" to the TOUR OF ITALY series with a look at the violent world of POLIZIOTTESCHI movies! (or Eurocrime, for the pronunciation challenged.) Italy had a special touch with crime thrillers during their politically tumultuous "Years of Lead," and we go over some of the genre's highest points, starting with Enzo G. Castellari's HIGH CRIME (1973), starring Franco Nero, and Franco Nero's mustache. We follow that with Lucio Fulci's only crime film, the gloriously bloody CONTRABAND (1980). Then we get into the sticky details around the release of Mario Bava's underseen and underrated RABID DOGS/KIDNAPPED, and why two different cuts of this movie were finally released over 20 years after the movie was shot and abandoned in 1974. We follow that with some fun in Umberto Lenzi's THE CYNIC, THE RAT, AND THE FIST (1977), which matched up 3 of the genre's most iconic stars (Milian, Merli, & Saxon). Finally, we cover the influential second entry of Fernando Di Leo's "Milieu Trilogy," THE ITALIAN CONNECTION (1972), where actor Mario Adorf outshines hitmen Henry Silva and Woody Strode to give the most heart-pounding and heartbreaking pimp performance we've ever seen. We're sad to finally be leaving Italy behind (for now), but we closed out with some of our favorite movies ever committed to celluloid. Buckle in and hold on for some off-the-wall Italian mayhem.

Zo goes it alone as he wanders to a lawless town to witness a quick draw gun fight competition. Is it dangerous to sit in the vicinity of gunfighters as they shoot it out? Most certainly, but the spectacle that he is about to witness must not be missed. In this instance there is a rare treat: a woman gunfighter. The only ones who have a chance of getting out of this alive are The Quick and The Dead.Episode Segment Time StampsOpening Credits . . . . . . 00:02:06Favorite Parts . . . . . . . . 00:09:54Trivia . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .00:44:28Critics' Thoughts . . . . . 00:54:55Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:www.backlookcinema.comEmail: fanmail@backlookcinema.comTwitter: @backlookcinemaFacebook: The Back Look Cinema Podcast Instagram: backlookcinemapodcastTicTok: @backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com

Fresno Grizzlies baseball TV play-by-play broadcaster (and Episode 208 guest) Dan Taylor ("Lights, Camera, Fastball: How the Hollywood Stars Changed Baseball") returns to the podcast - this time with the story of one of the most unheralded players in pro football history. In his new book "Walking Alone: The Untold Journey of Football Pioneer Kenny Washington," Taylor writes the first solo biography devoted to collegiate star and original Los Angeles Rams standout running back Kenny Washington (1918-71) - perhaps the best known of the pro game's "Forgotten Four" (the others: Woody Strode, Bill Willis, and Marion Motley) - collectively recognized as the first Black athletes to permanently break pro football's color barrier in 1946. Of the group, it was Washington - a one-time UCLA teammate of Jackie Robinson in both baseball and football - who officially re-integrated the NFL by signing with the just-relocated-from-Cleveland Rams (he convinced the club to later sign Strode). While Willis and Motley were doing similarly with the challenger All-America Football Conference (and later NFL-absorbed) Cleveland Browns - ultimately earning them selections to the Pro Football Hall of Fame - Washington has yet to join them in such recognition, despite being the first of any of them to achieve the feat. Of course, there is MUCH more to the story - including Washington's prolific minor league football exploits, frequent small-part film roles, and local LA celebrity status. By the end of this episode, you too will be convinced that Washington deserves a place in the Canton's hallowed Hall.
Continuing our series of posthumous interviews, Cinema60 summons up Andrew Sarris from beyond the grave to talk about one of his favorite films: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Best known for having popularized the auteur theory to the English speaking world, Sarris was a powerhouse film critic in the 1960s who wrote primarily for The Village Voice. In this episode, Bart and Jenna discuss Sarris' career and his unique voice in the world of film criticism before they get lost in a tangle of wildly differing opinions on the John Ford film of the hour. See, Jenna rides into town with a specific view on how things should be going down in this film, while Bart, with decades of teaching and rewatching experience, defends its honor in a more traditional way. Then Lee Marvin gets shot in the crossfire and everything really goes to hell!

Golf – Senior PGA – Steven Alker, Bob Estes share Senior PGA lead at 64 On a day when birdies were flying around Harbor Shores in the first round of the Senior PGA Championship, Steven Alker began soaring with an eagle. The 50-year-old New Zealander, who already has won twice and leads the PGA Tour Champions money list with almost $1.2 million, started his round with a 25-foot downhill eagle putt on the 539-yard, par-5 10th hole after a 240-yard approach with a 5-wood. He then finished his afternoon round with his sixth birdie of the day to shoot a 7-under 64, which was tied late in the day by 56-year-old Bob Estes. Alker and Estes were a stroke ahead of Paul Claxton and Mike Weir after the first round at the Jack Nicklaus-design course on Lake Michigan.

Jonathan Schoop hit a one-out double in the final inning, advanced on a wild pitch from Trevor Stephan and scored on Cabrera’s 3,029th career hit. Gregory Soto gave up one hit and struck out one in the ninth, earning the win for the Tigers. Detroit’s Javier Báez hit an RBI single in the first inning. Schoop’s sacrifice fly and Cabrera’s single put the Tigers ahead 3-0 in the second inning. Red Sox 16, White Sox 7 – Story’s 7th HR in 7 games helps Red Sox top White Sox 16-7 Trevor Story kept up his hot hitting with a three-run homer and four RBIs, and the Boston Red Sox beat the White Sox 16-7 to take two of three from Chicago. Story has seven homers and 21 RBIs in his last seven games, raising his season totals to nine homers and 32 RBIs. Alex Verdugo had pair of doubles among four hitsfor Boston, which outscored Chicago 33-13 in the series. The Red Sox opened with a 16-3 win and followed with a 3-1 loss. Kevin Plawecki pinch hit for Story in the ninth and homered off Josh Harrison. Reds 20, Cubs 5 – Reds have highest-scoring day in 23 years, rout Cubs 20-5 Kyle Farmer homered and had tied his career high with five RBIs to power the Cincinnati Reds to their high-scoring game in 23 years, a 20-5 rout of the Chicago Cubs. Farmer and Nick Senzel had four hits each, and Brandon Drury, Tommy Pham and Albert Almora Jr. had three apiece. Cincinnati trailed 3-0 before scoring twice in the second and adding eight runs in the third.

The May 20 memorandum from Michael Hill, the MLB senior vice president for on-field operations, asks teams to provide documentation by June 3 of the facilities for home and visiting female coaches and staff. Hill told teams to comply with MLB regulations “as soon as possible.” San Francisco Giants assistant coach Alyssa Nakken this year became the first woman to work as an on-field coach for a big league team.

He saysd he’s shown that experience at Indy matters far more than age. He hopes to drive from the back of the field to win No. 5. Nassar – No charges for agents in botched Larry Nassar probe The U.S. Justice Department says it won’t pursue criminal charges against former FBI agents who failed to quickly open an investigation of sports doctor Larry Nassar. Agents knew in 2015 that Nassar was accused of sexually assaulting female gymnasts. Nassar wasn’t arrested until 2016. The Office of Inspector General found that two former agents likely provided “inaccurate or incomplete information” when investigators subsequently tried to understand what happened. But the Justice Department says more would be needed to file charges. Nassar was a Michigan State University sports doctor as well as a doctor at USA Gymnastics. He is serving decades in prison for assaulting female athletes and possessing child pornography. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Tonight Los Angeles Sparks at Indiana Fever, 7:00 p.m. Tennis – French Open – Only 3 of women’s top 10 seeds remain The unexpected results in the women’s draw at the French Open keep piling up.

Two more were ousted Thursday when former No. 1 Karolina Pliskova lost to Leolia Jeanjean, who is ranked just 227th and is playing in her first Grand Slam tournament. No. 9 Danielle Collins lost to Shelby Rogers in a matchup between two Americans. Two-time Grand Slam champion Simona Halep said she had a panic attack while leading her second-round match that she eventually lost. The 2018 Roland Garros winner said she “lost it” and couldn’t regain focus while playing 19-year-old Qinwen Zheng, who won 2-6, 6-2, 6-1. No surprises involving top-seeded Iga Swiatek, however. She ran her winning streak to 30 matches by beating Alison Riske 6-0, 6-2. The other two top 10 seeds still standing are No. 3 Paula Badosa and No. 7 Aryna Sabalenka. NFL – “Forgotten Four” to be honored at Canton The four men who smashed the race barrier in professional football in 1946 have been selected to share the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Ralph Hay Pioneer Award.

Golf – Senior PGA – Steven Alker, Bob Estes share Senior PGA lead at 64 On a day when birdies were flying around Harbor Shores in the first round of the Senior PGA Championship, Steven Alker began soaring with an eagle. The 50-year-old New Zealander, who already has won twice and leads the PGA Tour Champions money list with almost $1.2 million, started his round with a 25-foot downhill eagle putt on the 539-yard, par-5 10th hole after a 240-yard approach with a 5-wood. He then finished his afternoon round with his sixth birdie of the day to shoot a 7-under 64, which was tied late in the day by 56-year-old Bob Estes. Alker and Estes were a stroke ahead of Paul Claxton and Mike Weir after the first round at the Jack Nicklaus-design course on Lake Michigan.

Schoop’s sacrifice fly and Cabrera’s single put the Tigers ahead 3-0 in the second inning.

The May 20 memorandum from Michael Hill, the MLB senior vice president for on-field operations, asks teams to provide documentation by June 3 of the facilities for home and visiting female coaches and staff. Hill told teams to comply with MLB regulations “as soon as possible.” San Francisco Giants assistant coach Alyssa Nakken this year became the first woman to work as an on-field coach for a big league team.

Nassar – No charges for agents in botched Larry Nassar probe The U.S. Justice Department says it won’t pursue criminal charges against former FBI agents who failed to quickly open an investigation of sports doctor Larry Nassar. Agents knew in 2015 that Nassar was accused of sexually assaulting female gymnasts. Nassar wasn’t arrested until 2016. The Office of Inspector General found that two former agents likely provided “inaccurate or incomplete information” when investigators subsequently tried to understand what happened. But the Justice Department says more would be needed to file charges. Nassar was a Michigan State University sports doctor as well as a doctor at USA Gymnastics. He is serving decades in prison for assaulting female athletes and possessing child pornography.

No. 9 Danielle Collins lost to Shelby Rogers in a matchup between two Americans. Two-time Grand Slam champion Simona Halep said she had a panic attack while leading her second-round match that she eventually lost.

She ran her winning streak to 30 matches by beating Alison Riske 6-0, 6-2. The other two top 10 seeds still standing are No. 3 Paula Badosa and No. 7 Aryna Sabalenka.

So, who came after Kenny Washington, Woody Strode, Bill Willis, and Marion Motley? The first African-Americans to play pro football in 13 years? More. Many more, and they showed the NFL what it had been missing.
On this special episode of The Long Game with LZ & Leitch: You've never heard of the most important player in NFL history. In 1946, Kenny Washington became the first Black athlete in the modern era to sign an NFL contract, joining the Los Angeles Rams and breaking the color barrier a year before his former teammate at UCLA, Jackie Robinson, did the same in Major League Baseball. Today few people know the full story of the man nicknamed “Kingfisher.”To discuss Washington's legacy, Will and LZ are joined by Super Bowl champion and ESPN analyst Keyshawn Johnson; Newsday football columnist Bob Glauber; and Kenny Washington's grandson, Kraig Washington. The panel also talks about the NFL's ongoing issues with race and Keyshawn explains why team owners, who are almost exclusively white billionaires, aren't interested in hiring Black head coaches.Johnson and Glauber are the co-authors of “The Forgotten First: Kenny Washington, Woody Strode, Marion Motley, Bill Willis, and the Breaking of the NFL Color Barrier” — a book about the league's first Black players.Watch The Long Game with LZ & Leitch Tuesday, Feb. 15 at 1pm ET at twitch.tv/therecount. And listen out for our next podcast, which drops on Wednesday, Feb. 16. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You've likely heard the names of Ruby Bridges, Jackie Robinson and Thurgood Marshall — the first African Americans to desegregate public schools, baseball and the Supreme Court. But do you know the names of Kenny Washington, Woody Strode, Marion Motley or Bill Willis? Unless you're a football fan, you likely haven't. And that's what Keyshawn Johnson is trying to rectify in his book The Forgotten First, the story of the men who helped break the NFL's color barrier. NPR's A Martinez sat down with Johnson to discuss those four men, and the legacy they left behind.
Keyshawn Johnson talks about the NFL today, his thoughts on the Browns right now, whether Odell Beckham Jr. can get back to being one of the best wide receivers in the league and his new book with Bob Glauber, “THE FORGOTTEN FIRST: Kenny Washington, Woody Strode, Marion Motley, Bill Willis, and the Breaking of the NFL Color Barrier”.

Before their big game against Atlanta United this weekend, Philadelphia Union Midfielder and homegrown talent Paxten Aaronson joined the show for some soccer talk. Then NFL great Keyshawn Johnson and NFL Writer Bob Glauber joined us to talk about their new book, The forgotten First: Kenny Washington, Woody Strode, Marion Motley, Bill Willis, and the Breaking of the NFL Color Barrier
Kirk was in Memphis to call a game this past weekend and he shares his thoughts on visiting the Lorraine Motel for the first time. Visiting that historic site was overwhelming. Jason shares his visit to the motel as well. Discussion on the NFL taunting rules and reaction to an article suggesting that the rule is a way to control black athletes. Keyshawn Johnson, Former WR & Bob Glauber, NFL Writer - Authors of 'THE FORGOTTEN FIRST: Kenny Washington, Woody Strode, Marion Motley, Bill Willis, and the Breaking of the NFL Color Barrier'This book tells the story of each of the four pioneers of the NFL and all they had to deal with beginning in 1946. Bob had the idea and approached Keyshawn during the unrests last year to write the story of the men who were the first African-American NFL players. This is a part of history that isn't taught in the schools. Folks sometimes take for granted that the NFL is a highly integrated sport. Bob wanted to explore when the league first became integrated. Many people do not know Kenny Washington is the first black NFL player. The NFL played many games in the south just to keep black players from playing. Keyshawn draws the parallels to what happened then to what's happening now. Wonders how quickly the NFL would have been integrated had the NFL been as popular or more popular than baseball at the time. The NFL had to be forced to integrate, unlike the Dodgers who did it willingly with Jackie Robinson. The guys are pushing, along with help from the NFL, to get the message out there of these four men. Hopefully this book educates and show how far black players have come in the NFL.
Bob Glauber talks about why he believes this Browns team can reach new heights, Baker Mayfield's future and if he's the franchise quarterback, whether Odell Beckham Jr. can get back to the player he was earlier in his career and his new book “THE FORGOTTEN FIRST: Kenny Washington, Woody Strode, Marion Motley, Bill Willis, and the Breaking of the NFL Color Barrier”.

Newsday's national NFL columnist and author Bob Glauber joins Beckles & Recher on Tuesday to talk all things NFL as well as the new book he co-authored with former Buccaneer wideout Keyshawn Johnson titled "The Forgotten First: Kenny Washington, Woody Strode, Marion Motley, Bill Willis, and the Breaking of the NFL Color Barrier." Since he's based in New York, Jay couldn't help but ask about the woes of the football teams in the area, the Jets and the Giants. Glauber pays tribute to a man who coached both those teams, Bill Parcells, who says he's the best psychologist, even for writers. Onto his book, Bob gives Keyshawn a ton of credit in helping to tell the stories of the four NFL Jackie Robinsons who have been forgotten by the league.

On today's episode, Patsy the Angry Nerd and I discuss the Shaw Brothers film, Shaolin Daredevils (aka The Daredevils) from 1979 another Chang Cheh directed film which once again unites all of the Venom Mob, and the Spaghetti Western, Boot Hill (1969) – the third in the trilogy directed by Guiseppe Colizzi and Starring Terence Hill and Bud Spencer who reprise their roles as Cat and Hutch. Through no purposeful planning, we are finding more and more similarities between Spaghetti Westerns and Shaw Brothers films! Both of today's movies involve acrobatics of some kind – performance by the Venom Mob as they attempt to get revenge for one of their fallen brothers, and through the circus performers that are at the heart of Boot Hill. So if you can find these films and watch them before listening to this episode, we heartily recommend it. As of this posting, Boot Hill is on Amazon Prime. But do not be fooled by Prime's listing of Shaolin Daredevils under the simple title, Daredevils. The only authentic version of the film in question was found available at: https://classickungfumovies.com/products/daredevils-of-kung-fu-aka-the-daredevils-1979?_pos=1&_sid=f9b8d2684&_ss=r (The East Meets the West is in no way affiliated with Amazon Prime or classickungfumovies.com) Patsy the Angry Nerd and his podcasts can be found at throwdownthursdaypodcast.com.

As the studio system began its slow decline in tandem with radical social changes occurring in the 1960s, the Golden Age of the Western genre itself was crawling to a close. Before long, the hyper virulent Westerns of Sam Peckinpah and Sergio Leone would take hold, while the old masters faded into the background. Before that, however, one of the great artists who helped to shape the genre would have a last hurrah in the sandbox he made his cinematic home. The legendary John Ford, having trail-blazed the Western genre for nearly forty years at this point in his career, would again revitalize his perspective in this latest decade by embracing the vital social movements of the day to shine a light on an overlooked aspect of the cowboy mythos. Woody Strode makes a singular impact as the titular sergeant standing trial for the wrongful accusation of rape and murder, fighting against a prejudiced system only a few years removed from the explosive tensions of the Civil War. This overlooked classic from Ford's repertoire tackles the themes of racism and recognition in a time when America itself was overtly struggling with the lingering effects of conflicts recognized within this film, the same unresolved issues which have trickled into our national conversations today. Sergeant Rutledge has the same majestic vision of the West as all the other Ford classics while maintaining a modern perspective to reflect the significance of such films today.

Gibt es an Keoma (1976) irgendetwas auszusetzen? Falls dies der Fall sein sollte, so haben mein Gast André Wentzel und ich den möglichen Stein das Anstoßes noch nicht gefunden. Enzo G. Castellaris meisterhafter Spätwestern haut uns erneut aus den Socken und begeistert mit grandiosen Bildern, seinem einzigartigen Soundtrack und einer Dank Franco Nero, Woody Strode und William Berger unantastbar guten Besetzung. Der Mann aus Virginia (1977) kann da zwar nicht ganz mithalten, erweist sich aber als veritabler, blutgetränkter Geheimtipp mit Raimund Harmstorf im Berserker-Modus.
Continuing our year-long theme covering the history of cinema, today's episode covers films from the 1970s! Following the civil unrest of the 60s, cinema in the 70s took a much more cynical view of the world, exposing the rough edges of humanity with the "gritty realism" that defined movies from that decade. While not every movie from the 70s hated the world in which it was born, the increase in original horror movies that were more grounded in "reality" than reliance on classic monsters, the popularization of disaster movies, and an abundance of vigilantes and rogue cops "cleaning up the streets" was clearly holding up a mirror to reflect the disillusionment of humanity at the time. While a pretty solid chunk of the episode is discussing the representation of vigilantes (as well as the potential impact it continues to have on modern society), we do also spend some time talking about some brighter spots of the decade that don't center around rogue "justice." We also spend some time (not nearly enough time, honestly) discussing a hidden gem that might honestly be one of our favorite films of the decade, Keoma!! As a reminder, these History of Cinema episodes will not be a comprehensive coverage of every single movie that was released that decade. It isn't even necessarily going to be the "top" movies from the decade. Instead, it will be more of a broad discussion of some of the advancements, themes, and highlights from each decade, with the various movies that we watched as examples. This series is also serving as an opportunity for us to fill in some gaps in our own personal film viewings (this series was also inspired, in part, by our Horror Movie Blindspots series we did last year). Video Monsters is brought to you by the Chattanooga Film Festival and Central Cinema in Knoxville, TN.

Hubo una vez, en ninguna parte, un grupo de hombres que decidieron hacer una revolución. Batallaron como valientes, se batieron con la inteligencia como única arma y esperaron recompensas tales como un ideal limpio, un por qué, un cómo y un dónde. Siguieron esperando y asistieron a la corrupción de todo cuanto merecía la pena. Fueron espectadores privilegiados del olvido de los vencedores y de la indiferencia que la victoria siempre exhibe contra alguno de sus aliados. Con las manos vacías y las inquietudes adormecidas, se fueron, abandonaron, huyeron. No quisieron saber nada más de quimeras, de metas imposibles y, no por ello, menos cercanas. La revolución siempre ha sido un enfrentamiento entre buenos y malos. La pregunta es: ¿Quiénes son los buenos? Años después, un hombre corrompido les busca y les ofrece dinero por hacer el trabajo que mejor saben hacer. Uno de ellos enseña el manejo de las novedosas armas automáticas. Otro, se esconde en sábanas ajenas y da rienda suelta a la vida, como intentando sacar algo de jugo que el destino y las personas se han ocupado de arrebatarle. Dos más se unen, sin antiguos ideales pero con la ética intacta y el valor firme. Todos ellos deberán buscar la escaramuza contra un antiguo amigo, contra alguien por el que sienten un enorme respeto porque, según dicen, ha cometido un secuestro. Se ha llevado a una mujer. A una mujer hermosa. A una mujer con corazón. Tendrán que atravesar desiertos y sendas, cruzar tramposos desfiladeros y encontrarse con ladrones asesinos. Allí, al otro lado de la frontera, donde ya combatieron y, según su punto de vista, fueron derrotados por la decepción, hallarán de nuevo aquellos principios que creían haber dejado atrás. Se decantarán por ser profesionales y cobrar por su trabajo y, a la vez, por seguir alimentando ese espíritu que permanece al lado justo del ánimo y que habían enterrado bajo toneladas de escombros. La verdad suele ser un aliento de ideas, un respiro para el pragmatismo, un pozo de agua en un erial de sed. Descubrir lo que realmente vale una mujer bien vale un tiroteo y un buen derroche de inteligencia. El polvo se adhiere a sus ropas como ese espíritu al que no se puede degollar. El cementerio de los hombres sin nombre les hace sonreír, entrañables, al recordar a los viejos amigos que yacen en una tierra sin vida. No van a admitir más engaños, ni más fraudes. Prefieren seguir con su alma de guerreros sin recompensa y renunciar a lo material con tal de seguir cabalgando en busca de algo que realmente remueva sus interiores. Una ética. Una idea. Un combate. Una ilusión. Nacieron con una fuerte pasión por crear y tienen la certeza de que nunca han dejado de ser unos verdaderos profesionales. Tipos que hacen lo justo sin más paga que su integridad. Richard Brooks dirigió esta película excepcional como parábola de su propia carrera. Para ello contó con un reparto maravilloso e intenso que brilla bajo el sol con nombres como Lee Marvin, el experto en estrategias; Burt Lancaster, el que sabe de explosivos; Woody Strode, el inefable arquero; Robert Ryan, amante de los caballos; Ralph Bellamy, el que maneja el dinero; Jack Palance, el hombre que sin guerra, no vive; Claudia Cardinale, la mujer que nunca ha dejado de amar. Todos ellos son profesionales. César Bardés Esta noche nos dirigimos a las Montañas Pintadas desde Radiopolis... José Miguel Moreno, Raúl Gallego, Gervi Navío, Zacarías Cotán y César Bardés.
Michael and Pax this week are watching the John Ford classic The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance starring Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Lee Marvin, Vera Miles, Lee Van Cleef and Woody Strode. Before we talk about the movie we mention other things we're doing like reading the comics Galveston, Manifest Destiny, Kid Colt Outlaw and watching the movie The Big Trail starring a young John Wayne. 87bbvdpk
As FX continues its broadcast of The People vs. O.J. Simpson, we got to thinking about the other trial of a fallen football star going on in Los Angeles in 1995, that of Rams cornerback Darryl Henley. Sports Illustrated senior writer Michael McKnight joins Joshua Neuman and Tunisha Singleton to discuss the incredible ways that the Simpson trial impacted Henley’s legal fate. We’ll also look back at the career of Woody Strode, specifically, his starring role in the courtroom drama, Sergeant Rutledge, a story that eerily foreshadowed many of the themes of the Henley case some 35 years prior. PLUS: Suge Knight, JFK Junior, Kirk Douglas, and house hunting with the present day Rams on this episode of The Greatest Show on Grass.
“The Professionals” was expertly written and directed by Richard Brooks and stars Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan, Woody Strode, Jack Palance, Claudia Cardinale and Ralph Bellamy, released in 1966 by Columbia Pictures. It’s a great ride full of beautiful scenery, sharp dialog, excellent explosions and some great twists in the plot. So saddle up and prepare to cross the desert into Mexico with “The Professionals”

On our 200th episode we look at Sergio Leone's epic Western, Once Upon a Time in the West. Released in 1968, the film was a follow-up to his "dollars trilogy" and hailed as many as one of the best Westerns ever made.
Donald Sterling's racism and punishment were all anyone was talking about last week - so we did too! And to supplement our, shall we say, spotty familiarity with athletic endeavors, we enlisted the help of friend-to-the-show Brian Lee West. Brian has spoken to us before about his theater work, but this time he joined us in his capacity as our favorite basketball superfan. In case you were under a rock (or completely overwhelmed by a little horse race), here's what happened: Donald Sterling, owner of the L.A. Clippers, was recorded telling his girlfriend, V. Stiviano, not to post pictures of herself with black people on social media, and not to bring black people to his games. Not only is this obviously racist, it's also pretty irrational; Donald Sterling's girlfriend is half African American, half Latina, and the overwhelming majority of NBA players are black. Including all but two of the players on his own team's roster. And their coach. Stiviano's Instagram photo of herself with Magic Johnson at a Clippers game seemed to be the inciting incident for it all. Magic shot back on twitter that he would never attend another Clippers game as long as Sterling owns the team. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Donald Sterling from the association for life. The other team owners will vote on whether to force him to sell the team. Brian helped us analyse the situation, including Sterling's long history of racism, the LA branch of the NAACP giving him awards, and what the deal is with racist people who date and sleep with people of color. "Sterling has that plantation owner's mentality where you can enjoy the fruits of your 'property' - what the plantation owner considers his property," Brian said. "But the plantation owner doesn't want to get too comfy. Doesn't want to get too close to the 'property.'" He also wondered whether Sterling's wealth has lead him to be out of touch with mainstream society. "He lives a sheltered life," Brian explained. "He doesn't see what happens in the rest of America. So he's probably really out of touch and thinks that his views are still germane to what is happening in America today. " (While he was with us, Brian also told us about the newest exhibit at the Frazier History Museum, Gridiron Glory. It features a Lombardi Trophy, which we understand is an important prize given to the winners of a sports contest. It also features Brian doing historical interpretation as football star Woody Strode, pictured.) We congratulated George Clooney on his engagement to such an accomplished woman, and we spoke about the HRC's intention to focus on the South - a move that has many southern activists scratching their heads. And of course, we had to acknowledge adult website pornhub for doing their part for the environment; as part of an Arbor Day promotion (SFW link), they planted a tree for every 100 videos watched during the week. As Dr. Story said, "I feel like I've created a garden of Eden."

Veckans Kino handlar om att hitta utmaningarna i mitt i livetkrisen, om att frossa i nostalgi kring fablernas värld, och försöka förstå om ståupparen som blivit borgmästare i reykjavik fortfarande tror att han befinner sig på en komediklubb. Kom nu'rå! - Barnprogrammen vi minns, eller helst vill glömma är namnet på en ny bok av journalisten Göran Everdahl. Det är en nostalgisk tillbakablick på 60- och 70-talets barn-tv: Fablernas Värld, Anita och Televinken och Den vista stenen. Kinos Nina Asarnoj träffade Göran Everdahl för att prata om minnen, barndom och tv-trauman. Den tyske regissören Tom Tykwer fick sitt genombrott med Spring Lola 1998. Sedan dess har filmerna och budgetarna blivit allt större. Som i filmatiseringen av romanen Parfymen och actionfilmen The International. I sin nya film 3 har han återvänt till Tyskland och skildrar ett bisexuellt triangeldrama i medelålderskrisens skugga. Roger Wilson har träffat Tom Tykwer för att prata om mitt i livet-krisens för- och nackdelar. I veckans klassiker gör Lars Lönroth ett porträtt av Woody Strode, en av de skådespelare som fick kämpa sig fram i ett Hollywood fyllt av rasism och fördomar. Ja, fördomarna fanns förstås även på andra håll. I det svenska pressmaterialet till filmen Kapten Buffalo från 1960 presenteras han som "negerskådespelaren" Woody Strode. Bland Strodes mest legendariska filmer finns Spartacus, Mannen som sköt Liberty Valance och Once Upon a Time in the West. Gnarr är en ny isländsk dokumentär om komikern Jon Gnarr som för knappt ett år sedan blev vald till borgmästare i Reykjavik. Han är frontfigur för det som kallas för det bästa partiet, och som bedrev en stor del av sin valkampanj på YouTube. Men är valet av Gnarr som borgmästare en anarkistisk protest, ett roligt skämt eller bara riktigt bra idé. Sofia Thermaenius har sett filmen Gnarr och träffat borgmästaren med samma namn på hans kontor i Reykjaviks Rådhus för att ta reda på sanningen bakom skämten.
