    Primal Fear feat. Jesse Hawken

    Primal Fear feat. Jesse Hawken

    Jesse Hawken, host of Junk Filter Podcast, returns to the show to discuss 'Primal Fear'. The film is a taut piece of middlebrow entertainment which offers maximum reward as a cable classic.

    We discuss the film's two standout performances - one from aging handsome guy Richard Gere as a hotshot attorney looking for his next big break, the other from then-newcomer Edward Norton who took audiences by storm and wound up on the short list of actors nominate for an Academy Award for their very first film performance. Then, we talk the movie's famous twist ending, and the way that it betrays an uncomfortably reactionary streak that resonated with audiences in mid-90s America. Finally, we have some words about the death of the midbudget cable classic, and look at the current state of the industry vis-a-vis the tandem strike efforts from the WGA and SAG-AFTRA.

    BONUS: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Affirmative Action Dissent Read by Actress Alfre Woodard

    BONUS: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Affirmative Action Dissent Read by Actress Alfre Woodard

    The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to end affirmative action in college admissions has rocked the country and pitted liberal and conservative justices against each other. Award-winning actress Alfre Woodard reads every word of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s scathing dissent where she calls the decision a “tragedy for us all”.

    A.V. Rockwell on 'Crooklyn'

    A.V. Rockwell on 'Crooklyn'

    A.V. Rockwell's feature debut won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance earlier this year. Now it's in theaters, and anyone who goes to see it won't be able to miss the love and honesty in her depiction of New York City. So perhaps it's not surprising that she brought us a character from another New York City coming-of-age movie (albeit about a different borough than her native Queens). It's Troy, the young girl who sits at the center of Spike Lee's 1994 movie, CROOKLYN. 

    Then Jordan has one quick thing about her beloved YELLOWJACKETS (season 1 spoiler alert!).

    Heute ist ein guter Tag denn selbst traurige Themen sind eigentlich gute Themen (Ausnahme natürlich die Toden der Woche). Entsprechend gut ist dann auch die Stimmung heute. Wenn dann noch jemand im Sexy Lendenschurz auftritt und Britt die Wahl des Sexiest Man Alive bestätigt dann fehlt nur noch ein Baby und eine Meerjungfrau um die Episode Perfekt zu machen. Was soll ich sagen, wir wurden nicht enttäuscht!

    Scrooged

    Scrooged

    The Plotaholics holiday magic continues as Shane and Bryan pick apart the 1988 holiday classic, Scrooged starring Bill Murray, Dan A...wait. Wrong movie...Bill Murray, Harold Ram...WHOOPS!

    Bill Murray, Alfre Woodard, Bobcat Goldthwait, and Karen Allen star in this modern-day retelling of the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol. Murray stars as Frank Kross, the youngest television network president in history, who has stepped on as many people as possible to get to the top and has become a heartless, cynical piece of crap. 

    It is then that Bob Marley and the Christmas Council get together and decide that they're going to scare Frank straight with physical assault and emotional manipulation in this hilariously loud, and charming comedy that reminds us all to put a little love in our hearts.

    Alfre discusses her character’s fractured relationship with her husband (5:55), why her profession put the relationship in that position (7:10) and how Bernadine is emotional in a different way than an artist would be (8:20).

    She goes further into the actors’ preparation for their roles, reveals the affect it had on her (12:32), describes how the actors were able to show up ready to work together (13:45), and how emotion is not something to be afraid of (14:41).
