24 NOV 2022 · Cate Blanchett might be poised to win a third Academy Award for her performance in Tár. But more than two decades ago, the actor -- who was already well on her way to becoming one of the best actors of her generation -- co-starred with Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton in an under-seen crime comedy-drama.

23 SET 2022 · Unless superheroes, hobbits, or boy wizards are involved, fantasy films are all too rare these days. But in the 1980s, the genre was thriving on the big screen. Filmmakers coupled state-of-the-art visual effects with puppetry, make-up, and good ol' movie magic to create worlds fans could previously only imagine. Director Ron Howard's 1988 film Willow is one such film. Featuring a story by George Lucas, Willow was the filmmaker's blatant attempt to tell a story like The Lord of the Rings. And with the new Disney+ sequel series right around the corner, https://twitter.com/FanitariumPod of the https://t.co/1JQUoHrT8J YouTube channel joins the show to remind listeners why they should revisit Willow.

1 LUG 2022 · Cinema -- like all art forms -- is wholly subjective. And within that, comedy is perhaps most subjective of all.

On this episode, film critic https://twitter.com/ALComedian returns to break down how Airplane! works not only as a comedy parodying the disaster films of the 1970s but also as an adaptation of the 1957 film Zero Hour. We'll discuss the most unforgettable jokes and most iconic performances, and answer once and for all whether Airplane! is indeed the funniest movie ever made. http://www.crookedtable.com/contact/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Crooked-Table/152573461480223 | https://twitter.com/crookedtable | https://www.instagram.com/crookedtable/
