Caged In: Coppola Connections

This week I get my daddy issues out and red beanie on with George McGhee as we look at Wes Anderson's third film, The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou...

I got to sit down and speak to Daniel Noah of SpectreVision to talk about their work with Nicolas Cage, his connection to the paranormal and the story of how a gang of Hollywood misfits decided to create a production company that make unique genre films.

This is possibly my favourite conversation I've ever had on the podcast, there was something special in the air that day...

On this episode I'm joined by Author, Podcaster and Geek Queen, Helen O'Hara to discuss Garry Marshall's tween comedy, The Princess Diaries. We chat about Helen's fantastic book, the state of Hollywood and film going audiences. Helen has even met a Coppola so make sure you listen to find out who.

This week Jeanette Bår joins me on the hunt for answers on the island of New Penzance when we look at Moonrise Kingdom. This is the first double Coppola film, with both Roman Coppola on writing duties and Jason Schwartzman in front if the camera in Wes Anderson's 60's set coming of age comedy. There's tangents aplenty as well as the usual dive into the guests relationship to the Coppola family...

This week I'm joined by Catrin Lowe to tussle on the dance floor with Saturday Night Fever (1977), a film that in the minds of many is just boogie down on a Saturday night with your buddies and your best white suit, others a gritty look at 70's Brooklyn. Catrin and myself look at the cultural impact of both this film and it's soundtrack left and tackle some of the more problematic moments...

This week we're going the distance, getting ready to fly high, beat the meat and drink those raw eggs as I'm joined by Jonathan Foster to talk about the first Talia Shire film in this Coppola journey. The focus of this episode is the John G. Alvidsen directed, Rocky (1979) starring Sylvester Stallone. We talk about Jonathan's time living in Philly, the cultural impact of Rocky and I share my dismissal of the entire franchise...
