The Plot Thickens

TCM

Our sixth season is Cleopatra, a six-episode series about one of the most expensive and infamous movies ever made. Directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and starring Elizabeth Taylor, Cleopatra should have been a smash. Instead, it was a shoot plagued by medical emergencies, climate disasters, nervous breakdowns, and the most scandalous love affair to ever hit a movie set. Join host Ben Mankiewicz as he digs through his own family stories to understand how it turned out so badly for his Oscar-winning uncle. Cleopatra starts July 17.

Bah Humbug: A Christmas Movie Podcast with Helen O'Hara

Helen O'Hara & Stripped Media

If you have tinsel on the brain and mulled wine in your blood, this is the podcast for you. We’re living in a golden age of delightfully cheesy Christmas movies, and on Bah Humbug we examine the biggest new offerings this season, as well as looking back at classic seasonal favourites. Think Kurt Russell in The Christmas Chronicles 2, Dolly Parton in Christmas On The Square and Kristen Stewart in Happiest Season. Hosted by Helen O’Hara (the Empire podcast, His Darker Materials) and a rotating cast of film experts and guests, this will take a (mostly) affectionate look at the snowiest, coziest, Scroogiest, and Santa-iest films of all.

It Was A Sh*t Show

It Was A Sh*t Show

Why did it take so long to make a Simpsons movie? Did Ed Harris really almost drown on The Abyss? How many times have they attempted to reboot Batman? And who thought Ugly Sonic was a good idea?

Well, making stuff is hard. Especially in the entertainment world where big egos, bigger budgets, and just plain bad luck can make things go horribly wrong. In each episode of It Was a Sh*t Show, hosts Ian, Rae, and Clint dive into the unbelievable behind-the-scenes stories of disastrous, never-ending, and often dangerous productions.

New episodes on Wednesdays.

Calmos, le podcast

Calmos

Hugo Alexandre et David Honnorat sont les auteurs de la chaîne Youtube Calmos et passent leur vie à parler de cinéma. Le principe de ce podcast est de raconter un film en entier à quelqu'un qui ne l'a jamais vu. On suit alors toute l'intrigue en même temps que les réactions de la personne qui découvre le film. C'est aussi l'occasion de parler de scénario et de mise en scène, d'interroger notre rapport au cinéma, de digresser dans tous les sens et, de temps en temps, de jouer à des petits jeux ! En fin de compte, c'est surtout un prétexte pour parler des films qu'on aime et, comme toujours, donner envie de les voir.
