And when I say old friend, I really mean it. Albert turned 100 earlier this year and Albert’s son Bill, a dear and old friend as well, suggested that it would be timely to have this discussion. Albert was a grunt in the Army, an infantryman, tough, resilient, essential, the backbone of the army, and part of The Greatest Generation.Caro...

Oscars & Himbeeren - der Film- und Serien-PodcastKiefer Sutherland und das Erbe von Humphrey BogartHollywood-Legende Humphrey Bogart lieferte 1954 mit seiner Darstellung des peniblen Lieutenant Commander Queeg, Kapitän des US-Minensuchzerstörers Caine, eine der besten Leistungen seiner Karriere ab. Nur drei Jahre später starb Bogart im Alter von 57 Jahren an Speiseröhrenkrebs. Sein filmisches Erbe bleibt unbestritten. 1988 wurde der Stoff für das US-Fernsehen verfilmt.Die TV-Version mit Jeff Daniels basierte jedoch nicht wie der Filmklassiker auf dem Roman von Herman Wouk, sondern auf seinem Bühnenstück "Die Caine-Meuterei vor Gericht".

Thank God For MoviesThe Exorcist: Believer, but also The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial!This week, we're comparing the most beloved movie ever made by William Friedkin and one of the last movies made by William Friedkin. That's right, The Exorcist: Believer came out recently as a reboot sequel of The Exorcist, which ignores all the subsequent sequels in true Halloween (2018). In addition to our review of that film, we discuss Friedkin's The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, an adaptation of a 50s play (originally a novel and also a film) set in the modern day. Despite being a "TV movie," it's actually fantastic? Show Notes 00:00:00 – The Exorcist: Believer 00:30:15 – The Caine Mutiny Cour...

TSP2: She Would NeverMurder on the Taconic: She seemed so perfect, until - suddenly - she was anything but. A full-time mother and seemingly responsible woman, Diane Schuler would make a series of fatally reckless choices that would leave multiple families shattered. Through all of the madness that ensued, people have been left to wonder: why would a "supermom" cause the deaths of so many, including her own family members? This week we take a deep dive into the 2009 Taconic State Parkway crash, and what could have possibly led to the unthinkable tragedy.
