Folge 6 - JAGD AUF EINEN UNSICHTBAREN (1992, John Carpenter, Chevy Chase) mit Sebastian Schmidt
KINO 90 – EPISODE 6: JAGD AUF EINEN UNSICHTBAREN (USA, 1992) mit Dominik Starck und Sebastian Schmidt vom Podcast Nostromo-Gespräche Ich sehe was, was du nicht siehst… …und das sind möglicherweise die Qualitäten eines Films, der in den meisten Top-Listen von Horror-Meister John Carpenter fehlt: JAGD AUF EINEN UNSICHTBAREN. Sam Neill eröffnet darin diabolisch blickend die Hatz nach Chevy Chase, der nicht nur dem künftigen Star von JURASSIC PARK und MÄCHTE DES WAHNSINNS, sondern auch seinem eigenen Ruhm als Komiker entkommen wollte. Vor den bahnbrechenden Dinosauriern aber nach TERMINATOR 2 fabrizierte George Lucas‘ Effektschmiede ILM sehenswert durchsichtige Tricks bei der Jagd durch...

BEE: Superman IV (1987) & Ronin (1998) mit Dominik Starck
John Frankenheimer und Sidney J. Furie besuchen uns mit ihrem größten Hit und schmerzhaftestem Flop. Aber hat insbesondere SUPERMAN IV all die Häme verdient? We don't think so... Regisseur-Podcaster-Autor Dominik Starck hat es sich nicht leicht gemacht mit der Filmauswahl, die er zum #beepodcast mitbringt. Und so spreche ich mit dem klugen Kopf gleich über Filme zweier oft zu Unrecht übersehenen Regiekoryphäen. Dabei fällt es uns nicht schwer, die Vorzüge von John Frankenheimers letztem großen Kinohit Ronin (1998) über den grünen Klee zu loben. Superman IV - Die Welt am Abgrund...
