Cabaret

from Unspooled · host Paul Scheer & Amy Nicholson | Realm

Amy & Paul strut through 1972's Weimar Berlin-set musical Cabaret! They learn about the many forms this story took before becoming a film, discuss a scene that foreshadows today's "fake news" era, and ask if Liza Minnelli is too good of a singer to play Sally Bowles. Plus: Adam Pascal, who played the Emcee in the revival of Cabaret, talks about why he finds the character so unnerving. Who's a tough guy actor you suspect is actually a great dancer?

ZOOM Focus Features ZOOM is a new podcast from Focus Features for movie lovers who want to know everything. Fueled by the inquisitive mind of film critic and host Amy Nicholson (“Unspooled,” "Halloween Unmasked"), each episode uses a modern-day movie as a launch pad to discover mind-bending facts about science, technology, and history. What kind of planet might E.T. come from? Do superstar horses “act”? Which Edwardian rules of etiquette could trip up Downton Abbey’s Lord Grantham? Featuring interviews with an eclectic mix of experts and filmmakers, ZOOM explores Hollywood's uncharted questions. ABC Movies abcmovies There's lots of movie podcasts where the hosts talk about bad movies. But how many talk about good movies (other than "Unspooled" which is also great!)? In Actually Best Choice Movies, longtime friends and total movie geeks Caleb Shively and Chris Chafin (contributor to Rolling Stone and New York Magazine's Vulture) talk about some movies that are actually worth seeing, in a way that's actually worth listening to. In this weekly show, the pair discuss/review/argue about two films: one new release and one other film that's related to it in a way that makes sense to them (and maybe to you). It's like Siskel & Ebert on Comedy Bang Bang, The Critic on Jordan, Jesse, Go!, or if the Doughboys watched movies instead of eating lethal amounts of fast food.
