This week, we're diving into the 1993 classic Groundhog Day. Directed by Harold Ramis and starring Bill Murray, this film takes us on a comedic and philosophical journey as a weatherman relives the same day over and over. But does this time-loop tale still entertain, or is it just a bad case of deja vu? But does this time-loop tale still entertain, or is it just a bad case of deja vu?

After begrudgingly completing his report, he finds himself trapped in a time loop, reliving February 2nd repeatedly. Initially using the loop for personal gain, Phil eventually confronts the emptiness of his actions and strives for self-improvement, seeking to win the affection of his producer, Rita Hanson (Andie MacDowell), and find a way to break the cycle. Background & Interesting Details: • Production Challenges: Filming took place in Woodstock, Illinois, during a harsh winter, which added to the film's authentic portrayal of a cold Punxsutawney. Director Harold Ramis and Bill Murray had creative differences during production, leading to a rift that lasted until shortly before Ramis's death in 2014. • Cultural Impact: The term "Groundhog Day" has entered common usage to describe monotonous, repetitive situations, reflecting the film's enduring influence.

This week, we’re diving into the wild world of The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (1990). Directed by Renny Harlin and starring Andrew Dice Clay as the rock 'n' roll detective, this film takes us on a chaotic journey through the Los Angeles music scene. But does this cult classic hit the right notes, or is it a one-hit wonder? Let’s find out! #flickflopspodcast #retrorewind #fordfairlane #theadventuresoffordfairlane #andrewdiceclay #waynenewton #priscillapresley #robertenglund #lauenholly #morrisday #gilbertgottfried #edoneill "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane" is a 1990 American action comedy film directed by Renny Harlin. The film stars Andrew Dice Clay as Ford Fairlane, a "Rock n' Roll Detective" navigating the music industry's underbelly in Los Angeles. **Release Date:** July 11, 1990 **Director:** Renny Harlin **Producers:** Steve Perry, Joel Silver **Screenplay:** David Arnott, James Cappe, Daniel Waters **Story:** David Arnott, James Cappe **Main Cast:** - Andrew Dice Clay as Ford Fairlane - Wayne Newton as Julian Grendel - Priscilla Presley as Colleen Sutton - Lauren Holly as Jazz - Morris Day as Don Cleveland - Gilbert Gottfried as Johnny Crunch - Maddie Corman as Zuzu Petals - Robert Englund as Smiley - Ed O'Neill as Lt. Amos **Fun Facts:** - The character of Ford Fairlane originated in a series of stories by writer Rex Weiner, published as weekly serials in 1979–80 by the New York Rocker and the LA Weekly. These stories were later compiled into a book published in July 2018. - Howard Stern was initially considered for the role of Johnny Crunch, which ultimately went to Gilbert Gottfried. Additionally, Billy Idol was originally slated to play the role of Bobby Black, and David Bowie was approached to play Julian Grendel, but both roles were recast. - The film's soundtrack features "Cradle of Love" by Billy Idol, which became one of his biggest hits, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The soundtrack also includes contributions from artists like Mötley Crüe, Queensrÿche, and Richie Sambora. - Despite its initial commercial and critical failure, the film has since developed a cult following. It was awarded the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Picture, tying with "Ghosts Can't Do It." **Interesting Details:** "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane" was directed by Finnish filmmaker Renny Harlin, who was gaining prominence in Hollywood at the time. The film was produced by Joel Silver, known for action hits like "Die Hard" and "Lethal Weapon." The production had a budget of approximately $20 million and grossed around $21.4 million domestically, making it a modest box office performer. The film is notable for its integration of real musicians and industry personalities. Vince Neil, lead singer of Mötley Crüe, appears as Bobby Black, while other musicians like Morris Day, Sheila E., and Tone Loc have roles that blend their musical personas with the film's narrative. This casting choice aimed to lend authenticity to the film's depiction of the rock and roll scene. A significant prop in the film is Ford Fairlane's car, a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner. In one scene, the car is destroyed in an explosion. After receiving numerous letters of protest from classic-car enthusiasts, the production company clarified that an actual 1957 Ford Fairlane was not destroyed; instead, a fiberglass replica body on a newer Ford chassis was used for the explosion. The film's release was strategically planned. According to writer Daniel Waters, it was initially slated for release in May 1990 to compete with "Cadillac Man" and "Bird on a Wire." However, 20th Century Fox moved the release to July to build awareness of Andrew Dice Clay, a decision Waters later cited as a mistake.

This week, we’re popping champagne with Arthur (1981), the story of a drunken billionaire charmer who must choose between his fortune and his true love. This 1981 comedy was directed by Steve Gordon and stars Dudley Moore, Liza Minnelli, and John Gielgud. Does this comedy classic still hold up as a hilarious and heartfelt exploration of love and privilege or is it just a stodgy old party that stinks of cigars, whiskey and regret? Let’s find out! #flickflopspodcast #moviereview #retrorewind #arthur #arthur1981 #dudleymoore #lizaminnelli #johngielgud #sirjohngielgud "Arthur" is a 1981 romantic comedy film written and directed by Steve Gordon. The film stars Dudley Moore as Arthur Bach, a wealthy and perpetually inebriated playboy who is pressured into an arranged marriage with a wealthy heiress but falls in love with a working-class woman from Queens. The film also features Liza Minnelli as Linda Marolla, Arthur's love interest, and John Gielgud as Hobson, Arthur's sharp-tongued butler. **Release Date:** July 17, 1981 **Director and Writer:** Steve Gordon **Main Cast:** - Dudley Moore as Arthur Bach - Liza Minnelli as Linda Marolla - John Gielgud as Hobson - Geraldine Fitzgerald as Martha Bach - Jill Eikenberry as Susan Johnson **Fun Facts:** - The role of Arthur Bach was initially considered for several prominent actors, including Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, John Travolta, Richard Dreyfuss, and James Caan, before Dudley Moore was cast. - Similarly, the role of Hobson was considered for Alec Guinness and David Niven before John Gielgud took on the part. - The film's theme song, "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)," performed by Christopher Cross, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. - John Gielgud won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Hobson. - The film was a commercial success, grossing over $95 million domestically, making it the fourth highest-grossing film of 1981. **Interesting Details:** "Arthur" was the only film directed by Steve Gordon, who tragically passed away in 1982 at the age of 44. Gordon originally envisioned the character of Arthur as an American and considered several American actors for the role. However, Dudley Moore's portrayal, with his natural English accent, added a unique charm to the character, and Gordon allowed him to retain the accent, which became a defining feature of Arthur Bach. The film's production faced challenges, including initial reluctance from Paramount Pictures, which eventually dropped the project. Orion Pictures stepped in to produce the film. Promoting the film also proved difficult, with six advertising campaigns discarded before settling on a final approach. The casting process for "Arthur" involved considering various actors for key roles. Debra Winger reportedly turned down the role of Linda, and other actresses like Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton, Gilda Radner, and Meryl Streep were also considered. Ultimately, Liza Minnelli's performance as Linda Marolla was widely praised and contributed significantly to the film's success. The film's soundtrack, composed by Burt Bacharach, played a crucial role in its popularity. Christopher Cross was initially asked to score the film, but due to his lack of experience in film composition, Bacharach took over. Cross, however, co-wrote and performed the iconic "Arthur's Theme," which became a hit and earned the Academy Award for Best Original Song. "Arthur" received critical acclaim for its witty screenplay, memorable performances, and charming portrayal of a man torn between wealth and love. The film's success led to a sequel, "Arthur 2: On the Rocks," released in 1988, and a remake in 2011 starring Russell Brand.

As Orlok becomes infatuated with Ellen, he brings a plague upon the town, leading to a harrowing confrontation between Ellen and the sinister count. This film is a remake of F.W.

Director Robert Eggers, known for The Witch (2015) and The Lighthouse (2019), brings his signature atmospheric style to this retelling.

This week, we’re diving into The Mousetrap , a 2024 slasher film directed by Jamie Bailey. This film takes us into a twisted amusement arcade, where a killer in a Mickey Mouse mask turns a birthday party into a deadly game. But did this B-movie trap us with its horror or leave us scrambling for the exit? The Mousetrap (2024) Director: Jamie Bailey Screenwriter: Simon Phillips Top Billed Stars: Simon Phillips, Nick Biskupek, James Laurin, Mireille Gagné Running Time: 80 minutes Country: Canada The Mousetrap (formerly Mickey’s Mouse Trap ) centers around Alex, a young woman working a late shift at an amusement arcade on her 21st birthday. Her friends surprise her with a birthday celebration, but things take a deadly turn when a masked killer dressed as Mickey Mouse begins stalking them inside the arcade. Trapped and terrified, Alex and her friends must fight to survive the sadistic killer’s game, which includes brutal slashing and supernatural elements like teleportation. The film's original title ( Mickey's Mouse Trap ) was altered after legal concerns surrounding Disney’s ownership of the Mickey Mouse character. The killer wears a rubber Mickey Mouse mask, adding a disturbing juxtaposition between childhood innocence and horror. The film is a typical micro-budget B-movie production, featuring minimal plot and a focus on gory kills. Despite the limitations, Jamie Bailey’s direction includes vibrant lighting and some technical effort. The movie also pokes fun at its own absurdity, featuring a tongue-in-cheek "Star Wars" style intro to acknowledge Disney's non-involvement.

Simon Phillips : Star of Survive the Night (2020) and Once Upon a Time at Christmas (2017), known for playing twisted or villainous characters.

Heretic (2024) Directors: Scott Beck and Bryan Woods Writers: Scott Beck and Bryan Woods Top Billed Stars: Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher, Chloe East Running Time: 111 minutes Country: United States Release Date: November 8, 2024 (U.S.), November 1, 2024 (U.K.) In Heretic, two young missionaries, Sister Barnes (Sophie Thatcher) and Sister Paxton (Chloe East), knock on the door of Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant), a seemingly charming but ultimately sinister man. What begins as a routine effort to convert him to their faith quickly turns into a nightmarish game of cat and mouse. As the women struggle to escape, they are forced to confront their faith and survival instincts in Reed’s deadly house of horrors, which combines psychological manipulation and supernatural elements.
