Joe Gideon is a Broadway director, choreographer and filmmaker, he in the process of casting the chorus and staging the dance numbers for his latest Broadway show, starring his ex-wife Audrey Paris in what is largely a vanity project for her in playing a role several years younger than her real age, and editing a film he directed on the life of stand-up comic Davis Newman. Joe's professional and personal lives are intertwined, he a chronic philanderer, having slept with and had relationships with a series of dancers in his shows, Victoria Porter, who he hired for the current show despite she not being the best dancer, in the former category, and Kate Jagger, his current girlfriend, in the latter category. That philandering has led to relationship problems, with Audrey during their marriage, and potentially now with Kate who wants a committed relationship with Joe largely in not wanting the alternative of entering the dating world again. Joe also lives a hard and fast life, he chain smoking, drinking heavily, listening to hard driving classical music and popping uppers to keep going. In addition to pressures from investors and meeting film deadlines above and beyond his own self-induced hard life, he is teetering on the brink physically and emotionally. With Kate, Audrey, and his and Audrey's teenage daughter Michelle looking over him as best they can, Joe flirts with "Angelique" in the process, he potentially succumbing to her if he doesn't listen to them or what his body is telling him.

ROOM tells the extraordinary story of Jack, a spirited 5-year-old who is looked after by his loving and devoted mother. Like any good mother, Ma dedicates herself to keeping Jack happy and safe, nurturing him with warmth and love and doing typical things like playing games and telling stories. Their life, however, is anything but typical--they are trapped--confined to a 10-by-10-foot space that Ma has euphemistically named Room. Ma has created a whole universe for Jack within Room, and she will stop at nothing to ensure that, even in this treacherous environment, Jack is able to live a complete and fulfilling life. But as Jack's curiosity about their situation grows, and Ma's resilience reaches its breaking point, they enact a risky plan to escape, ultimately bringing them face-to-face with what may turn out to be the scariest thing yet: the real world This and previous episodes can be found on Libsyn as well as: Apple Podcasts Spreaker Stitcher Player FM Acast Podcast Party #Podpals #PodernFamily | |||

| 27 Apr 2023 | Episode 176 - Sweet Smell Of Success (1957) | 01:10:12 | |
The Stinking Pause Podcast - bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good. 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the Stinking Pause podcast. To celebrate, this year we are looking back at some of the movies already reviewed over the past 10 years and inviting fellow podcasters and friends to join us. This week, Cev from Film Guff, House of Hammer, and Here Lies Amicus, joins us to chat about one of his favourite movies of all time.
Sweet Smell Of Success (1957) In the swift, cynical Sweet Smell of Success, directed by Alexander Mackendrick, Burt Lancaster stars as the vicious Broadway gossip columnist J. J. Hunsecker, and Tony Curtis as Sidney Falco, the unprincipled press agent Hunsecker ropes into smearing the up-and-coming jazz musician romancing his beloved sister. Featuring deliciously unsavory dialogue, in an acid, brilliantly structured script by Clifford Odets and Ernest Lehman, and noirish neon cityscapes from Oscar-winning cinematographer James Wong Howe, Sweet Smell of Success is a cracklingly cruel dispatch from the kill-or-be-killed wilds of 1950s Manhattan.

Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) is a banker to the world's terrorists. He is participating in a poker game at Montenegro, where he must win back his money, in order to stay safe amongst the terrorist market. The boss of MI6, known simply as "M" (Dame Judi Dench) sends Bond, along with Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) to attend this game and prevent Le Chiffre from winning. Bond, using help from Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright), Rene Mathis (Giancarlo Giannini), and having Vesper pose as his partner, enters the most important poker game in his already dangerous career. But if Bond defeats Le Chiffre, will he and Vesper Lynd remain safe? …and Is there solace in revenge? James Bond (Daniel Craig) and M (Dame Judi Dench) sniff a shadowy international network of power and corruption reaping billions. As Bond pursues the agents of an assassination attempt on M, all roads lead to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a world-renowned developer of green technology. Greene, a nasty piece of work, is intent on securing a barren area of Bolivia in exchange for helping a strongman stage a coup there. The C.I.A. looks the other way, and only Bond, with help from a retired spy and a mysterious beauty, stands in Greene's way. M wonders if she can trust Bond, or if vengeance possesses him. Can anyone drawn to Bond live to tell the tale? “When someone says "We've got people everywhere", you expect it to be hyperbole! Lots of people say that. Florists use that expression.

The dead boy's mother puts out a bounty on the shark and Amity is soon swamped with amateur hunters and fisherman hoping to cash in on the reward. A local fisherman with much experience hunting sharks, Quint, offers to hunt down the creature for a hefty fee. Soon Quint, Brody and Matt Hooper from the Oceanographic Institute are at sea hunting the Great White shark. As Brody succinctly surmises after their first encounter with the creature, they're going to need a bigger boat.

| 31 Mar 2020 | Episode 139 - American Graffiti (1973) | 00:51:11 | |
Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott who this week is joined by Paul for a trip back to America in 1962 with hamburgers and milkshakes, drive-ins, fast cars and some of the best rock and roll music ever created.
This episode we are joining Ron Howard and Richard Dreyfus with Wolfman Jack playing the tunes as we rock around the clock with American Graffiti (1973) – directed by George Lucas “You’re the most beautiful, exciting thing I’ve ever seen in my life and I don’t know anything about you” In the twilight of innocence, and against the backdrop of early-1960s Modesto, California, four school friends--Curt, Steve, John, and Terry--bid farewell to their carefree lives as teenagers, on the last evening of summer break. Over the course of one long and hot September night, the long-time companions on the brink of adulthood will take their first steps into the real life; experience the powerful feelings of desire, disappointment, and love--and, ultimately--see the world in a different light. Pivoting around Mel's bright Drive-In, and Wolfman Jack's non-stop Rock 'n' Roll disc-jockey show, the boys cruise the town's colourful streets in their beautiful cars, as an elusive blonde vision in a white 1956 Ford Thunderbird contributes to the excitement of this very special night. However, when morning comes, nothing will ever be the same again.

The Sting (1973) Following the murder of a mutual friend, aspiring con man Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford) teams up with old pro Henry Gondorff (Paul Newman) to take revenge on the ruthless crime boss responsible, Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw). Hooker and Gondorff set about implementing an elaborate scheme, one so crafty that Lonnegan won't even know he's been swindled. As their big con unfolds, however, things don't go according to plan, requiring some last-minute improvisation by the undaunted duo.

| 21 Apr 2021 | Episode 156 - Trainspotting (1996) | 02:19:11 | |
After an absence of over fifty episodes and nearly three years the restraining order has finally been lifted. Ladies and gentlemen…like a phoenix from the flames…yes he’s back. Join us as we welcome Charlie back into the ample bosom of the Stinking Pause family. It’s an old school Stinking Pause episode – the original theme tune, all the old jingles, the return of Jim from Swanscombe and Six Degrees of Separation. It’s over two and a half hours long, but to be honest, there’s only about ten minutes of decent chat worth listening to. First time listeners be warned….this is not the episode to begin your Stinking Pause journey.
Our review this episode (and boy do we make you wait before we get anywhere near it) is Trainspotting (1996), directed by Danny Boyle and starring Ewan McGregor, Johnny Lee Miller, Ewan Bremner, Robert Carlyle, Kelly MacDonald and Kevin McKidd. ‘Danny Boyle's explosive film tracks the misadventures of young men in Edinburgh trying to find their way out of joblessness, aimless relationships and drug addiction. Some are successful, while others hopelessly are not. Based on Irvine Walsh's novel, Trainspotting melds grit with poetry, resulting in a film of harsh truths and stunning grace.’ #trainspotting “Living like this is a full-time business.” This and previous episodes can be found on; Apple Podcasts Follow us on Twitter @StinkingPause Thanks for listening | |||

Trading Places (1983)
Louis Winthorpe is a businessman who works for commodities brokerage firm of Duke and Duke owned by the brothers Mortimer and Randolph Duke. Now they bicker over the most trivial of matters and what they are bickering about is whether it's a person's environment or heredity that determines how well they will do in life. When Winthorpe bumps into Billy Ray Valentine, a street hustler and assumes he is trying to rob him, he has him arrested. Upon seeing how different the two men are, the brothers decide to make a wager as to what would happen if Winthorpe loses his job, his home and is shunned by everyone he knows and if Valentine was given Winthorpe's job. So they proceed to have Winthorpe arrested and to be placed in a compromising position in front of his girlfriend. So all he has to rely on is the hooker who was hired to ruin him.

| 12 May 2023 | Episode 178 - Some Like It Hot (1959) | 01:19:34 | |
The Stinking Pause Podcast - bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good. 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the Stinking Pause podcast. To celebrate, this year we are looking back at some of the movies already reviewed over the past 10 years. This week, Paul has selected a genuine classic from Billy Wilder, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. Some Like It Hot (1959)
Billy Wilder’s zany cross-dressing comedy begins with a massacre – resembling the gangland St Valentine’s Day killings of 1929 – and ends with one of the most celebrated last lines in cinema history. Written in cahoots with the director’s new collaborator I.A.L. Diamond, Some Like It Hot ascends to inspired heights of silliness in-between, with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon both on career-best form as dragged-up musicians hiding out with Sugar Kane’s girl band. Both the gangster story and the screwball antics hark back to Hollywood films of the 1930s, but Wilder’s outrageous and subversive play with gender was truly boundary pushing and helped lead to a loosening of censorship after United Artists released the film without certification.

This week, it's Anthony's turn to join Scott and Paul to take a look at an American cop classic from the seventies
Anthony is the host of Film Gold, Life And Life Only and Glass Onion: On John Lennon.
Electra Glide In Blue (1973)
The only thing good-hearted motorcycle cop John Wintergreen (Robert Blake) wants is to become a detective. To wear a big Stetson, smoke fancy cigars and be paid to think. So when he stumbles upon a dead body, he takes the case - and proves he's got the right stuff. But as soon as he's promoted, he finds that the corruption he must tolerate makes his Stetson not fit so well and the cigars not taste so good. Forced to confront his own disillusionment, Wintergreen heads out on his bike, the Electra Glide, and makes another shocking discovery that could cost him his life.
"I hate that motorcycle they make me ride. I'm here to tell you there ain't nothing in the world I hate worse than that elephant under my ass."

The Stinking Pause Podcast - bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good. 2023 marked the 10th anniversary of the Stinking Pause podcast.
To celebrate, this year we are looking back at some of the movies already reviewed over the past 10 years and inviting fellow podcasters and friends to join us.
This week, it's Anthony's turn to join Scott and Paul to look back at a movie that we first chatted about in 2013
Anthony is the host of Film Gold, Life And Life Only and Glass Onion: On John Lennon.
An episode full of Grouch Marx lookalikes, thousands of used dollar bills, the neighbour from Home Improvement and fond memories from a great friend.
The Taking Of Pelham 123 (1974)
Four seemingly unrelated men board subway train Pelham 1:23 at successive stations. Mr. Blue, Mr. Green, Mr. Grey and Mr. Brown are heavily armed and overpower the motorman and novice conductor to take control of the train. Between stations they separate the front car from the remainder of the train, setting passengers in the back cars and the motorman free. The four demand $1 million ransom within exactly one hour for the remaining eighteen hostages, including the conductor. If their demands are not met in time or their directions are not followed precisely, they will begin to shoot hostages dead, one every minute the money is late. Wisecracking Lt. Zach Garber of the transit police ends up being the primary communicator between the hijackers and the authorities, which includes transit operations, his own police force, the NYPD, and the unpopular and currently flu ridden mayor who will make the ultimate decision of whether to pay the ransom. Unknown to Garber, what may be working on their side is the disparate nature of the four hijackers, including methodical and unbending Blue, trigger happy Grey, and also under the weather Green, who may pass out before the caper has concluded. What Garber does know is that there is a plain clothes NYPD officer among the eighteen hostages. What Garber has to try and figure out is how the four hijackers can possibly get away, as they are in a tunnel and have to remain with the train since it has a dead-man mechanism which requires a motorman at the controls at all times.

Manhattan, Upper West Side, 1957. Against the backdrop of the decaying tenements in the San Juan Hill neighbourhood and the constant threat of the wrecking ball, two warring gangs--tough Riff's Jets and swaggering Bernardo's Puerto Rican Sharks--fight for supremacy. Now, with a once-and-for-all, winner-takes-all rumble on the cards, an unexpected whirlwind romance at the high-school dance between former Jet brawler Tony and Bernardo's delicate little sister María sets the stage for an all-out turf war. But what's a gang without its territory? Above all, when the future is uncertain, what's hope without love? “All my life, it's like I'm always just about to fall off the edge of the world's tallest building. I stopped falling the second I saw you." This and previous episodes can be found evrywhere you download your podcasts

Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott, who this week is joined by Paul to chat about Steven Spielberg, Richard Dreyfus and UFOs It’s back to 1977 for a look at Close Encounters Of The Third Kind starring Richard Dreyfus, Teri Garr, Francois Truffaut and Bob Balaban
Steven Spielberg followed Jaws (1975), his first major box-office success, with this epic science fiction adventure about a disparate group of people who attempt to contact alien intelligence. Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) is an electrical lineman who, while sent out on emergency repairs, witnesses an unidentified flying object, and even has a "sunburn" from its bright lights to prove it. Neary's wife and children are at first skeptical, then concerned, and eventually fearful, as Roy refuses to accept a "logical" explanation for what he saw and is prepared to give up his job, his home, and his family to pursue the "truth" about UFOs. Neary's obsession eventually puts him in contact with others who've had close encounters with alien spacecraft, including Jillian (Melinda Dillon), a single mother whose son disappeared during her UFO experience, and Claude Lacombe (celebrated French filmmaker François Truffaut), a French researcher who believes that we can use a musical language to communicate with alien visitors. Lacombe's theory is put to the test when a band of government researchers and underground UFO enthusiasts (including Neary) join for an exchange with alien visitors near Devil's Tower, Wyoming. “Yeah, I'm fine! And the only gas around here is from you guys farting around!” This and previous episodes can be found on; Apple Podcasts Stitcher Spreaker Player FM Acast IHeartRadio Libsyn Podcast Party #Podpals #PodernFamily | |||

For this we can only apologise, but rest assured, things sound a little better further in as we review Martin Scorcese’s The Last Waltz from 1978. Apologies also to Ken Bruce and the legendary Popmaster quiz as we desperately try to recreate this national institution…with, shall we say, mixed results?
Seventeen years after joining forces as the backing band for rockabilly cult hero Ronnie Hawkins, Canadian roots rockers The Band call it quits with a lavish farewell show at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom on Nov. 25, 1976. Filmed by Martin Scorsese, this documentary features standout performances by rock legends such as Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell and Muddy Waters, as well as interviews tracing the group's history and discussing road life. “He called me up, and I said, "Sure I'd like a job. What does it mean? What do I do?" And he said, "Well, son, you won't make much money, but you'll get more pussy than Frank Sinatra."

To celebrate, this year we are looking back at some of the movies already reviewed over the past 10 years and inviting fellow podcasters and friends to join us.
This week, Anthony from Glass Onion: On John Lennon, Film Gold, and Life & Life Only, joins Scott to chat about one of the all time great movies from the 70s
Deliverance (1972) The Cahulawassee River valley in Northern Georgia is one of the last natural pristine areas of the state, which will soon change with the imminent building of a dam on the river, which in turn will flood much of the surrounding land. As such, four Atlanta city dwellers, alpha male Lewis Medlock, Ed Gentry, Bobby Trippe, and Drew Ballinger, decide to take a multi-day canoe trip on the river, with only Lewis and Ed having experience in outdoor life. They know going in that the area is isolated. Their relatively peaceful trip takes a turn for the worse halfway through with river rapids and unwelcoming locals. The four need to battle their way out of the valley and are asked to do things they never thought possible within themselves. “Do know what's gonna be here? Right here? A lake. As far as the eyes can see. Hundreds of feet deep. HUNDREDS of feet deep. Did you ever look out over a lake and think of somethin' buried underneath it? Buried underneath it. Well man, that's just about as buried as you can get.” This and previous episodes can be found everywhere you download your podcasts

Scott is joined this week by Steven, his co-host over at the Reel Britannia podcast and Anthony, host of Film Gold, Glass Onion : On John Lennon, and Life and Life Only
Ace In The Hole (1951)
With flaws that outweigh his talent, reporter Chuck Tatum (Kirk Douglas) has bounced across the country from job to job. Winding up in New Mexico, Tatum gets work from the local newspaper, but finds that there's not much in the way of pressing news. However, when Tatum catches wind of a treasure hunter (Richard Benedict) trapped in a mineshaft, he turns the story into a media sensation. Soon Tatum is using unscrupulous tactics to draw out the situation, an approach that comes back to haunt him. "I've done a lot of lying in my time. I've lied to men who wear belts. I've lied to men who wear suspenders. But I'd never be so stupid as to lie to a man who wears both belt and suspenders."

With the occasion all but overshadowed by her sister's upcoming wedding, angst-ridden Samantha (Molly Ringwald) faces her 16th birthday with typical adolescent dread. Samantha pines for studly older boy Jake (Michael Schoeffling), but worries that her chastity will be a turnoff for the popular senior.

It was the first Best Director win for Scorsese. Mark Wahlberg was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor (he lost to Alan Arkin for Little Miss Sunshine) In Boston, Massachusetts, notorious Irish Mob boss Francis "Frank" Costello (Jack Nicholson) takes neighbourhood boy Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) under his wing, and grooms him to be his informant within the Massachusetts State Police. Colin rises through the rank and file to get himself placed on an investigation unit that is working to bring down Costello. Meanwhile, William "Billy" Costigan, Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio) is seeking to become a cop, despite the fact that he comes from a family that has a very disreputable past and numerous ties to organized crime. His interviewers eventually decide, when Billy refuses to be intimidated out of dropping out of the academy, to arrange for him to go to prison on a trumped-up assault charge, giving him a criminal record and street cred so that he can infiltrate Costello's crew. When both sides of the law realize the situation, both Colin and Billy attempt to discover the other mole's true identity before being found out.
"When I was your age they would say we can become cops, or criminals. Today, what I'm saying to you is this: when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?" This and previous episodes can be found on;

| 23 May 2020 | Episode 143 - Raging Bull (1980) | 01:36:44 | |
Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott, who this week is joined by Antony, the host of the Glass Onion: On John Lennon podcast to chat about Scorcese, DeNiro, method acting and boxing. It’s back to 1980 for a look at Raging Bull starring Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci, directed by Martin Scorcese.
When Jake LaMotta steps into a boxing ring and obliterates his opponent, he's a prizefighter. But when he treats his family and friends the same way, he's a ticking time bomb, ready to go off at any moment. Though LaMotta wants his family's love, something always seems to come between them. Perhaps it's his violent bouts of paranoia and jealousy. This kind of rage helped make him a champ, but in real life, he winds up in the ring alone. “If you win, you win. If you lose, you still win.” This and previous episodes can be found on;

| 29 Sep 2021 | Episode 159 - Tommy (1975) | 02:14:13 | |
Brace yourself...it's time for a tale of platform boots, perverted uncles and pinball….teens, beans and Acid Queens. Ladies and gentlemen, the Stinking Pause podcast is proud to present some very mixed opinions on Ken Russell's vision of the classic rock opera, Tommy.
Nora Walker is told that her British fighter-pilot husband is missing in action and presumed killed in World War II. On V.E. Day, Nora gives birth to their son and names him Tommy. When Tommy is an adolescent, Nora marries shifty camp-counsellor Frank; shortly thereafter, Tommy suffers an emotionally traumatic experience associated with his father and stepfather which, based on things told to him at that time, results in him becoming deaf, mute, and blind, and several people exploit this situation for their own pleasure. As Nora tries several things to bring Tommy out of his psychosomatic disabilities, he, now a young man, discovers pinball. Playing by intuition he becomes a pinball master, which makes him--and Nora and Frank by association--rich and famous. Nora literally shatters Tommy to his awakening, which ultimately leads to both the family's rise and downfall as people initially try to emulate Tommy's path then rebel against it. “I often wonder what he is feeling! Has he ever heard a word I've said? Look at him in the mirror dreaming! What is happening in his head?."

“You remember how it really was? You and me and booze - a threesome. You and I were a couple of drunks on the sea of booze, and the boat sank. I got hold of something that kept me from going under, and I'm not going to let go of it. Not for you. Not for anyone. If you want to grab on, grab on. But there's just room for you and me - no threesome.”
