Menschsein - Der Podcast des bfg Bayernöffentlich Trauern ohne Kirche!? – säkulare Gedenkfeiern und der Atheistenpass [Podcast]Öffentliche Trauerfeiern nach Gewalttaten oder Katastrophen sind oft religiös geprägt – wie haltbar ist das in unser zunehmend säkularen Gesellschaft, was bedeutet das für konfessionsfreie Menschen und wie könnten alternative humanistisch geprägte Formen öffentlichen Gedenkens aussehen? In dieser ausführlichen Podcast-Folge sprechen wir mit unserem Gast Ralf Nestmeyer, Gründungsmitglied von PEN Berlin und aktiv bei der Giordano-Bruno-Stiftung über säkulare Alternativen und über die Idee eines Atheistenpasses. Unterstützt wird die Folge vom bfg Augsburg. Hier die Ressourcen zur Sendung:Website und Instagram des bfg Bayernhttps://bfg-bayern.de/https://w...2025-06-2942 min

Book and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #200: 'The Phoenician Scheme,' 'Ballerina,' and A Final Wrap-UpThis is the final episode of the BFG Podcast. We're as sad to see it go as you are, but editor and host Neal Pollack has a new job at the U.S. edition of The Spectator, the world's oldest magazine, and will no longer be seeing and talking about movies for a living. We had an extraordinary four years on the podcast, bringing you news and commentary nearly every week on a shoestring budget, but it's time to end our amazing little show.Neal welcomes his one and only guest this week, film critic Stephen Garrett...2025-06-1240 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #199: 'Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning,' Season 2 of 'The Rehearsal,' and a report from CannesAfter a two-week hiatus, the BFG Podcast is back, and the culture belongs to us as usual. Host Neal Pollack has returned from his anniversary trip to the Continent, and Stephen Garrett was in Europe as well, covering the Cannes Film Festival like he has done every year since before he can remember. This year, Iranian dissident filmmaker Jafar Panahi won the Palme D'Or for his film 'It Was Just An Accident,' the sixth straight year a film distributed by Neon has taken the prize. Neal and Stephen discuss that and then Stephen does a speedy run-through of...2025-05-2840 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #197: 'Andor' Season 2, 'The Accountant 2,' 'The Shrouds,' and a Resurgent Box OfficeIn the past on this podcast, host Neal Pollack and guest Scott Gold have occasionally steered listeners awry, we'll admit it. After watching the first couple episodes of genre shows like The Acolyte or Daredevil: Born Again, they've encouraged people to watch the shows, and then had to sit back and cringe for weeks as the shows not only failed to stick the landing, but flopped entirely. With pretty good confidence, we can say that's not going to be the case with Season 2 of 'Andor,' which will surely be one of the best TV shows of the year...2025-04-3040 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #196: 'Sinners' and 'Black Mirror' Season 7No half-measures on the podcast this week as we cover some of the year's best content. On the movie side, we talk about 'Sinners,' Ryan Coogler's mind-blowing 1930s historical Delta blues movie–with vampires. Stephen Garrett hadn't even heard of this movie until about two weeks ago, and it was a five-star shocker for him. Neal Pollack, equally skeptical, equally and totally blown away. Coogler delivers a show-stopping musical number at the movie's midpoint, at which point a ton of vampire mayhem sets in and completely transforms the narrative. But it's testimony to how amazing Sinners is that th...2025-04-2339 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #195: The State of American Moviegoing and 'Drop' (Unrelated)On this week's BFG Podcast, we welcome in our friend Richard Rushfield, who takes time away from his deli-going schedule from time to time to stop by to talk to host Neal Pollack about issues and trends in Hollywood. Richard is recently back from Cinemcon, the annual Las Vegas convention for theater owners, who always have one question: "Does your movie star Dwayne Johnson, or does it star Ryan Reynolds?" Headier artistic questions don't concern them.For the first time in many years, Richard says, major franchises had no representation at Cinema Con. There was no Fast...2025-04-1736 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #193: 'The Studio,' 'Death of A Unicorn,' and Bill BurrTV, movies, and politics get the full BFG Podcast treatment this week. First up, Omar Gallaga stops by the podcast dome to talk with Neal Pollack about 'The Studio,' Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's terrific Apple+ satire about Hollywood and the movie business. Neal calls it "the best constructed TV comedy since Veep.' Omar compares this "ongoing panic attack" to The Larry Sanders Show and Curb Your Enthusiasm. It's a fine lineage, and it features the best Martin Scorsese cameo you'll ever see. Omar points out how "cinematic" the show is, and it's hard to disagree. This...2025-04-0341 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #188: 'The White Lotus' Season 3, 'The Pitt', and an Oscar PreviewThis week on the BFG podcast, Stephen Garrett is stateside to offer his totally objective opinion on this year's Oscar nominees. He and Neal Pollack get into it right away because Stephen insists that 'Emilia Perez' is an actual Oscar contender. Neal insists that there has never been a more canceled movie in Oscar movie. Everyone hates Emilia Perez. Neal is convinced that Timothée Chalamet is going to win best actor, though Stephen asks him to throw on the brakes. They both think that Demi Moore is going to win Best Actress, the closest we get to a s...2025-02-2641 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #186: 'I'm Still Here,' 'Companion,' and 'Severance' Season 2It's a typically great show this week as host Neal Pollack welcomes the heavily compromised but still insightful Stephen Garrett, who worked on the trailer for the Brazilian Oscar nominee I'm Still Here. But Stephen would have to have a heart of stone to not like this beautiful and thoughtful movie, and he doesn't. Neal is full of praise for the film's passionate defense of human rights, and its beautiful elegy for a time and place that's no more. And they are both enthralled, as is everyone else, by the lead performance of Fernanda Torres, who, like her character...2025-02-1241 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #183: 'Wolf Man' and an Appreciation of David LynchThis week, the BFG Podcast pays tribute to David Lynch, of whom there is nothing bad to say. Stephen Garrett's wife and daughter may not be into Lynch, but Stephen and Neal Pollack (and Neal's wife Regina) loved him, and so does most of the rest of the world. Stephen buries the lead and talks about the time he interviewed Lynch at a film festival, and the story is as idiosyncratic as the rest of Lynch's work. We cover as many bases as we can, from 'Mullholland Drive' to 'Dune' to 'Wild at Heart,' spending some time lingering...2025-01-2233 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #181: 'Squid Game 2' and 'Pop Culture Jeopardy!'Games take the podium on this week's edition of the BFG Podcast. Show host and perennial game-show contestant Neal Pollack welcomes Jessica Babbitt, who was recently his opponent (or at least their teams faced each other) on Amazon Prime's 'Pop Culture Jeopardy!' This is a unique view into the sick and twisted minds of game-show contestants. Just kidding, it is about as wholesome a conversation as you'll ever hear. But you will learn how to prepare for a quiz show, how to work with a team on a quiz show, and how impossible it is to ring in...2025-01-0836 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #177: 'Dune: Prophecy' and 'Queer'As we lurch toward 2025, our podcast continues to cover the waterfront of 2024's pop culture. First up, Scott Gold joins Neal Pollack to talk about 'Dune: Prophecy.' Neal wonders, why does this Max show have to take place 10,000 years before the Dune movies. That seems like a long time. Scott says it is but a grain in sand in the vastness of the universe. How would he know that? But he's also definitely right. And the show is not boring, full of palace intrigue and creepy space witches and genuine moments of horror to go along with the...2024-12-1136 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #170: 'Saturday Night,' "English Teacher,' and 'Megalopolis'Art the Clown from 'Terrifier' three could not join host Neal Pollack for this week's BFG podcast because of various disgusting commitments, but Stephen Garrett is always available. He stops by the Pod Dome to talk about 'Saturday Night,' Jason Reitman's ode to the opening night of Saturday Night Live. Stephen liked the film, he enjoyed its ramshackle "let's put on a show" vibe and has warm, fuzzy memories of the early days of watching the program. Neal found the movie twitchy and annoying and overly reverential, though he did admire some of the celebrity impersonations and loved...2024-10-1839 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #169: 'Joker: Folie A Deux' and 'Nobody Wants This'"I have never been so happy to see a film flop at the box office," host Neal Pollack says of 'Joker: Folie a Deux,' which he discusses on this week's podcast with film critic Stephen Garrett. Stephen is a little kinder to the film than Neal is, but he agrees that not much in this movie works. Neal finds the courtroom sequences boring and cliched, the musical sequences uninspired, and the dark romance completely incompetent and unbelievable. Both Neal and Stephen agree that this deeply unpleasant movie deserves everything that's coming to it, and that Joaquin Phoenix can't...2024-10-1037 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #165: 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,' 'Strange Darling,' and 'Kaos' BFG Podcast! BFG Podcast! BFG Podcast! Host Neal Pollack once again summons up the world's finest pop-culture critics to talk about culture high and low this week. First up is Stephen Garrett, appearing from the film-critic underworld to discuss Tim Burton's new hit sequel 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.' It's messy and too stuffed with exposition, but both Neal and Stephen think it's kind of fun, even if they don't like Justin Theroux in it at all. The major point of dispute comes over Willem Dafoe, who plays a TV cop in the underworld. Neal found it hilarious, Stephen thought it...2024-09-1239 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #158: 'Longlegs,' 'Fly Me To The Moon,' and the Alice Munro scandalThe Book and Film Globe podcast returns this week with another fantastic episode. The world of American politics may be roiling, but we continue to cover the culture, because politics is downstream from culture, or something along those lines.First, we travel north of the border, where Canadian literary society is in crisis after the Nobel Prize-winning writer Alice Munro finds herself posthumously embroiled in a terrible scandal. She essentially attempted to cover up the alleged sexual abuse of her own daughter. Host Neal Pollack and contributor Michael Washburn in no way condone Munro's actions, but they...2024-07-1742 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #150: For our 150th! episode, we talk about 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,' 'The Fall Guy,' and 'Sugar' It's hard to imagine, but the BFG Podcast celebrates its 150th episode this week. We started out by recording it on a party line on Clubhouse, an app that people thought had potential back in 2021. Then for a while host Neal Pollack interviewed people via Skype. That's why, in its earliest iterations, the show sounds like we recorded it through tin cans at the bottom of a submarine. Gradually, Neal got some decent equipment and learned how to plug in his microphone properly, and we now use Zencastr, an easy-to-apply podcasting platform that only occasionally gives us problems. And...2024-05-1438 min

Derek was first exposed to Frisbee when he a little kid by his dad and ever since he has dreamed of playing at the highest levels! This season he have been a major handler force for the Cascades, going 35-35 in a recent game. In addition, he was a key contributor...2024-05-1342 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #147: 'Monkey Man,' 'Ripley', and 'X-Men '97'It's a vibrant BFG podcast this week, as host Neal Pollack just keeps on having opinions about things. Stephen Garrett pops into the scene to discuss 'Monkey Man,' directed, written, and starting Dev Patel. They both find the movie stylish, fun, and exciting, but maybe Dev Patel could have used someone telling him no, and could have used an editor, and could have given some of his characters name. But for everything that's wrong with Monkey Man, there's a lot that's right, and Neal, who went to yoga school, reads a lot into the serious critique of Indian...2024-04-1138 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #146: 'Godzilla x Kong,' '3 Body Problem,' and 'Guy Fieri's Tournament of Champions' Neal Pollack is recovering from gout but still delivers a whopper of a podcast this week, with three familiar guests and a great variety of topics. Stephen Garrett comes in to chat about the bizarre 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,' which features his new favorite scene in a movie: King Kong using Baby King Kong as a club to beat up some other super underground apes. What a weird movie this is, perfect for a 10- year-old boy, essentially a Transformers movie starring King Kong and Godzilla (and Mother!) and Dan Stevens as the world's coolest animal...2024-04-0440 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #139: 'Griselda' and an Oscar preview The Oscars are still a month away for some reason, but it's time for us to offer up our annual Oscar podcast preview episode. Stephen Garrett joins host Neal Pollack to admit that 'Oppenheimer' is going to run rampant over the major awards, though Neal offers up 'The Zone of Interest' as a value upset Best Picture picture and he and Stephen posit that maybe Sterling K. Brown's abs will defeat Robert Downey, Jr. for Best Supporting Actor. They also give love to Da'Vine Joy Randolph from 'The Holdovers' and Neal sort of persuades Stephen that Lily Gladstone will...2024-02-1634 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #135: 'American Fiction,' the 'Mean Girls' musical and a regenerated 'Doctor Who' On this week's vital BFG podcast, host Neal Pollack welcomes Stephen Garrett to be two white guys talking about a black-directed movie making fun of liberal white people reacting to a black-written book. We're talking, of course, about 'American Fiction,' and while Stephen loved the warm, neurotic upper-middle-class black family saga that the literary satire was hiding, Neal wanted more satire and less family saga, because the trailer promised satire. Neal also wonders if the satire is a little dated, and they didn't even really talk about the ambiguous ending of the movie, which may or may not...2024-01-1838 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #134: Dave Chappelle, Ricky Gervais, 'Reacher' Season 2, and 'Letterkenny'It's comedy and muscle this week on the BFG Podcast, why not? Host Neal Pollack leans heavily on the expertise of standup comedy expert Robert Dean to discuss the wildly popular new specials from Dave Chappelle and Ricky Gervais. Robert loves Chappelle but agrees with Neal that he's gotten so famous that he doesn't really need to work out new materials anymore, compared with, say, Joe Rogan, who spends years honing his set in small clubs, perfecting the joke structure. Gervais, Robert likens more to "Richard Dawkins with a laugh track." He then says something like "I'd rather hear...2024-01-1137 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #133: 'Maestro,' 'Ferrari', and 'The Iron Claw'This week on the BFG Podcast, we have a classical-music picture, a car-racing picture, and a wrestling picture. It's not like the 1930s where the studios would crank out dozens of movies in each genre every year, but regardless, these movies fold right into traditional genres. They are pictures, and on the podcast, we present the big picture.First up, darling, Steven Garrett joins host Neal Pollack to discuss 'Maestro,' Bradley Cooper's love letter to Leonard Bernstein. Steven liked this picture more than Neal did, admiring the over-the-top passion that Cooper brings to his larger-than-life subject...2024-01-0338 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #131: 'Wonka,' 'Godzilla Minus One,' and 'The Boy and the Heron' It's a magical, fantastical, confection-filled week on the BFG podcast. Host Neal Pollack welcomes in always-guest Stephen Garrett to talk about 'Wonka,' starring Timothée Chalamet as a truly child-friendly young Willy Wonka, who the movie re-invents as a gee-whiz paragon of goodness and light. Stephen liked the movie more on the show than he did in his review. Neal found it cloying and cynically calculated. They were deeply split on Hugh Grant's Oompa-Loompa, who Neal enjoyed but Stephen found weird. In general, 'Wonka' seems to have generated more debated among our two critics than it deserves. Listen u...2023-12-1837 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #128: 'Napoleon,' 'The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,' and 'Julia' This week's BFG podcast is a feast for the brain. Michael Washburn engages host Neal Pollack in a discussion of Sandra Newman's provocative and "very raunchy" novel 'Julia', a brilliant and extended riff of the world of Oceania in George Orwell's '1984.' Neal somewhat wondered what Newman was getting at, but Michael found her extension of the world extremely compelling and disturbing, a fresh warning about the dangers of totalitarianism. BFG book club recommends it!'Napoleon' has finally arrived in theaters, and Stephen Garrett stops by to talk with Neal about the ultimate dad movie. They...2023-11-3039 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #127: 'The Marvels,' 'The Holdovers,' Nate Bargatze, and Taylor Tomlinson The culture goes up, and the culture goes down, and the BFG Podcast covers it all. On the downward slope this week is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has suffered its first genuine bust with 'The Marvels.' The world is not entirely sure how to handle this phenomenon but host Neal Pollack and guest Scott Gold tackle it. They both agree that Iman Vellani is quite delightful as Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel, but the rest of the cast seems to be phoning it in. The cringe-inducing musical sequence in the middle does the movie no favors, though the...2023-11-1539 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #125: 'Five Nights At Freddy's,' 'Slayers,' and the cowardice of writers and entertainers who refuse to condemn Hamas We get political this week on the BFG Podcast. Guest Rebecca Kurson joins host Neal Pollack in condemning Hamas, sure, but also offering a lot of disdain for Western intellectuals and actors who refuse to condemn Hamas. Neal is especially angry at a coalition of writers, his former peers perhaps, like Jonathan Lethem, Michael Chabon, and Ben Lerner, who published an open letter in the Guardian calling for a ceasefire. Lame, and morally weak.Rebecca is quite angry at Tilda Swinton, who is wide-open when it comes to sexual and gender identity, calling for a ceasefire. Does she really think...2023-10-3134 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #124: 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' 'The Fall of the House of Usher,' and Scholastic Book Fair diversity boxes This week's BFG podcast starts serious, stays serious, and gets a little less serious by the end, but we cover the cultural waterfront like no one else.Sharyn Vane opens the proceedings by talking about her recent article on Scholastic Publishing's recent decision to segregate various "diverse" titles at book fairs to try and work around conservative state government attempts to restrict access to children's literature. We've covered these attempts in the past, and think they're wrong, but Scholastic has come up with a clumsy workaround. This has appalled writers and publishing professionals and librarians, and Sharyn is on the...2023-10-2540 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #123: Taylor Swift, the Talking Heads, 'The Morning Show,' and Season 2 of 'Loki' This week's BFG Podcast is a nutrient-rich stew of content, sure to appeal to young and old alike.Nothing could be more relevant than the opinions of two middle-aged men regarding Taylor Swift. Stephen Garrett actually saw the Taylor Swift "Eras" concert movie, and while he admires the music and the songwriting, found the stagecraft to be a little managed and almost cold, while acknowledging that this is a generation-defining event. BFG editor Neal Pollack is far too cheap to pay the $19.89 ticket, but he did see the reissue of 'Stop Making Sense,' the Talking Heads concert movie from 1984...2023-10-1841 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #122: Wes Anderson and Roald Dahl, 'Reservation Dogs,' and 'Gen V' Host Neal Pollack is all-in on streaming TV this week. He welcomes Michael Washburn to the BFG Podcast to discuss four new short films by Wes Anderson that adapt classic, if lesser-known, Roald Dahl short stories. Michael is less sold on Anderson's cinematic style, but he admits that these short Netflix films really do justice to Dahl's work. Both he and Neal are happy that this 20th Century humorist is getting such broad play, beyond Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The Roald Dahl cinematic universe is very much alive in Wes Anderson's hands.Reservation Dogs, the Native American comedy, has...2023-10-1227 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #120: 'One Piece,' the cancellation of 'Winning Time,' and censorship in Canada In this week's episode of the BFG podcast, Jamie Mason joins host Neal Pollack for a segment on Canadian politics. Yes, that's right, Canadian politics! In particular, the actions of one school district in Ontario to clear library shelves of any book published prior to 2008 to meet amorphous "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" standards. Jamie is a closer watcher of the leftward authoritarian creep in the Canadian government. He says this isn't just some sort of random occurrence from a provincial school district; the district is following federal guidelines, and this could be a harbinger of things to come. Aren't you...2023-09-2741 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #118: 'The Wheel of Time' Season 2, 'Oldboy' restoration, and a visit to the Venice Film Festival This week's BFG podcast has a strong international flavor. For some chichetti, how about a visit to the Venice Film Festival? Kaveh Jalinous made his annual pilgrimage to the Lido and is here to talk to Neal Pollack about what he saw. In particular, he saw 'Poor Things' from Yorgos Lanthimos, which he describes as the pinnacle of Emma Stone's career. That's saying a lot. On the negative side of the ledger, Kaveh warns us away from the new Harmony Korine and Roman Polanski films. We're listening. The festival was more crowded than ever, but because of the Hollywood strikes...2023-09-1238 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #117: 'Telemarketers,' 'And Just Like That,' and football documentaries In this week's excellent edition of the BFG Podcast, host Neal Pollack calls up Daniel Cohen to talk to him about 'Telemarketers,' the three-part Max docuseries about phone scams that Neal calls "one of the best shows of the year." If you want a time-capsule depiction of what America was really like in the early 21st century, you could do a lot worse than this show by and about loser New Jersey telemarketing drones. Yet those drones, Sam Lipman-Stern and the great Patrick J.

This should be a crime, though Chris remembers a time when movies used to be "more chill." He recalls going to see 'Saw' with his friends in a year when Neal was already a full-blown adult. Regardless of the reason, both Neal and Chris think this trend needs to stop, and they hope that once people readjust to going out in public sometime later...2023-08-1538 min

Neal liked the goofy songs, JP loved the off-kilter humor, they both enjoyed the stop-motion animation. According to our critics, who are not all critics but are the best critics, this was a delightful addition to the Wes Anderson canon, and they discuss the film delightfully.The new season of 'Black Mirror' is a bit more of a mixed bag.

This week, Neal Pollack welcomes Ayun Halliday to the BFG podcast dome to discuss the box-office non-success 'Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret,' an adaptation of a 50-plus-year-old Judy Blume novel about a young suburban girl's coming of age. Neal found the movie sweet and sentimental, but Ayun, who was really looking forward to this product, didn't appreciate the film's wan attempts at modern social relevance. It's soft-focused and natural-seeming. But, our critic wonders, where is the menstrual blood? Good question, a question that only...2023-05-0246 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #099: 'Air,' and Clifton Duncan on Endless Hollywood and Broadway COVID RestrictionsOn this week's BFG Podcast, host Neal Pollack welcomes special guest Clifton Duncan.Before the pandemic era hit, Clifton's career on Broadway and in television was beginning to take off. But after the culture he loved shut down, he moved to Atlanta to find work. There he saw a society that was functioning with relative normalcy, unlike the dystopian New York City that he'd left. He began to question lockdowns, masks, and other COVID policies. And when he refused to take the COVID vaccine because he'd already recovered from COVID, he found himself on the outs of the industry.Neal...2023-04-1148 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #098: 'Dungeons and Dragons,' 'Succession,' and Censoring Agatha ChristieA great episode of the BFG podcast this week, as host Neal Pollack welcomes Jamie Mason to the pod-dome to talk about the plague of sensitivity readers that is smothering big publishing, particularly in the U.K. Despite no "hue and cry," as Jamie puts it, the readers are changing classic Agatha Christie novels to bring them up-to-date with modern sensibilities. Jamie posts that there's no real need for this, that it's "make-work" for disaffected liberal arts graduates.

Host Neal Pollack, the editor of BFG, welcomes Stephen Garrett, as usual, to talk about 'Magic Mike's Last Dance.' Stephen thought the movie was corny and slight but found its love letter to midlife romance charming. Neal thought it was flat stupid and was annoyed that the script didn't give the backup dancers more to do.

Neal proceeds to give a complete nerdy history of Kang the Conqueror, and they both wonder why 'Quantumania' didn't include more Bill Murray. The new Ant-Man movie is a huge hit, despite the critics.

Stephen went to Park City, Utah, to see all the Sundance movies, and Sara watched them from home. Sundance is back, the movies are back, and this was one of the best festivals in years! They both loved the Wall Street-set erotic thriller 'Fair Play.' Stephen loved a quirky movie called 'Theater Camp,' though Sara has an extreme aversion to its star, Ben Platt.

JP proves his versatility and then some, starting off by talking about the Noah Baumbach adaptation of Don DeLillo's 'White Noise.' JP prefers the middle part of the movie, when the "Airborne Toxic Event" means there's actually some action, and also the closing credits, a dance sequence in a 1980s grocery store set to an LCD Soundsystem song. The rest of the movie, not so much. He doesn't find statements like "men are killers.

The BFG podcast has turned the calendar with you, with no changes whatsoever, as it's a perfect show. Host Neal Pollack switches it up and welcomes Stephen Garrett back for the 70th time. This week Neal and Stephen talk about 'Glass Onion.' This big, expensive sequel to 'Knives Out' resembles a big-budget live-action adaptation of Scooby-Doo, but it's fun as long as you don't take it too seriously. And if you are taking it too seriously, you might want to consult a doctor. Stephen immediately knocks down the idea that Janelle Monae might get an Oscar...2023-01-0237 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #082It's December, my dudes, and The BFG podcast is back on the air! This week we lead off with a discussion of another podcast, American Public Media's 'Sold A Story,' which has ignited a furious debate over how we teach children to read. Writer Sharyn Vane joins host Neal Pollack to discuss the difference between the old-school phonics method and the new-school, more context-based method of reading instruction, which appears to be the culprit in America's continually declining reading scores. While both Neal and Sharyn learned how to read contextually, as "early readers," this may not apply to...2022-12-0641 minBook and Film Globe PodcastBFG Podcast #079: Bob Dylan, Interview With the Vampire, the Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions, and moreWe lead off this edition of the BFG podcast with a discussion of Nobel Prize laureate Bob Dylan. That’s the Literature Prize to you. Dylan has written a new book called Philosophy of Song, about songs he likes, and it’s as inscrutable as the rest of his body of work. Book and Film Globe contributor Jim Sullivan joins host Neal Pollack to talk about his review of The Philosophy of Modern Song. And they make fun of rock critics as well as Dylan’s somewhat purplish prose style. This might just be a joke that Dylan is playin...2022-11-0842 minThe Brickfilmers Guild - BFG PodcastsBFG Podcast 035 - David PaganoBFG Podcast 035 - David PaganoWebsite: https://www.paganomation.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFvj3vo5ZyTKl91NGphR6HQ Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/paganomation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paganomation/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/paganomation Brickfilms Wiki: https://brickfilms.fandom.com/wiki/David_Pagano IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3819767/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/paganomation Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidpagano The Importance of Being Ernest: https://www.beingernestfilm.com/ **Discaimer - In this podcast Dave S. incorrectally/accidentally named the BFD 2022 Round 1 them...2022-11-0300 minThe Brickfilmers Guild - BFG PodcastsBFG Podcast 034 - Sam FutheyBFG Podcast 034 Sam FutheyYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Locker74Productions/featured Second Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC03OhUKH0wCZ6hkanp9psJw/ Insta: https://www.instagram.com/samfuthey/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/74Locker Brickfilms Wiki: https://brickfilms.fandom.com/wiki/Sam_Futhey Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Locker74 Co-host: Chris from Gold Brick Productions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/VideoMis...Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoldBrickPro This podcast is sponsored by FXHome and Mecabricks.2021-12-3100 min

And this week we're reading about a master plan, which could certainly never have been done in real life; an innovative approach to the central London commute, involving jumping; and the curious absence of at least one branch of the military, in a possible east-side/west-side style grudge match amongst the British elite. Also some fairly breathtaking candour on the part of the ruler of Baghdad, which was, at the time of publication, probably pretty accurate. Thoughts? Comments?

Shark Liver OilThe BFG 1: Blowing His Dream TrumpetWe're back after a long hot summer and we've got a new book! It's the children's classic, The BFG by Roald Dahl! Did you love reading this as a child? Then prepare to get your innocence blown to smithereens as Dave and Matt try (and fail) to talk about giants blowing their dream trumpets without making it sound like the wrongest thing you've ever heard. It's the only book we've read that combines a questionable approach to vegetarianism with a plan for casual interspecies mass murder and free cut out and keep big ears.
