ANSA - di Massimo Sebastiani e Mario Sesti.Il film di Milos Forman, nato da un'intuizione di Michael Douglas in veste di produttore, incarna perfettamente lo spirito libertario che, nato negli anni '60, faceva sentire i suoi effetti ancora a metà degli anni '70. Una metafora straordinaria sulla creatività e la capacità di infrangere le regole, sull'anelito di libertà e sull'ottusità di ogni meccanismo coercitivo. Il film, uno dei pochissimi a vincere tutti e 5 gli Oscar principali (film, regia,

In this powerful episode of The Forbidden Frequency, we journey into the overlooked legacy of Alexander Miles, the 19th-century Black inventor whose life-saving innovation changed how we move through space—yet whose name rarely appears in the story of modern engineering. From his beginnings as a barber in Ohio to becoming one of the wealthiest African Americans in the Pacific Northwest, Miles's invention—the automatic elevator door—helped prevent untold accidents and became a foundational element of

OTD 1994: The Shawshank Redemption opens... and bombs at the boxoffice! Somehow, the film draws 7 Oscar nominations, then finds an audience during a pre-Oscars theatrical re-release (when I first saw it), then later on home video, where incredible word-of-mouth causes a sensation, ultimately leading to its current status: one of the most beloved movies of all time.PS: Audio recorded 2 years ago, hence why I "mistakenly" say TSR turns 29 🙂

The first Black Miss America, Vanessa Williams, was crowned in Atlantic City on 17th September, 1983, with the usual fanfare. But within ten months, she had returned her crown, following a nude photo scandal.She had already received hate mail and even death threats - some from racist whites who hated seeing a Black Miss America, others from Black critics who felt her light skin and blue eyes played into white beauty standards. But then, without her consent, Penthouse announced it would publish

Send us a text Today's episode is part of my series of episodes featuring conversations with 2025 Student Academy Award nominees. I spoke with 2025 Student Academy Award semi-finalist Megan Mullen, director of the documentary short film "Secrets of Satellite Beach" and we discuss the light that she wanted to shine on the issue of contaminated water in her home town, working with two incredible activists for for the film, and the challenges of making a film about a topic so close to her heart....

The Cornell Daily Sun - the oldest continuously independent college daily newspaper in the United States - published its first issue on 16th September, 1880. It featured some campus sports reports, some horrible amateur poetry, and even some jokes. It wasn’t until seven years later that a British University caught up with its own equivalent: The Student, at Edinburgh University; although it did have celebrity founder Robert Louis Stevenson up its sleeve. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly

Talked about 3 films, a mini series and PBS television show depicting various times in the life and reign of Queen Victoria.

The start of World War I featured officers in white gloves, leading troops in neat lines, and cavalry charges complete with sabres and lances. But this changed on 15th September, 1914 - when soldiers began digging into the earth, laying the groundwork for the trench warfare that would come to define the conflict.By that November, trenches covered 400 miles along the Western Front, in two opposing lines that were often as close as 50 metres, with "No Man’s Land" in between—a deadly strip of land

When Abbott Elementary first premiered, many fans were skeptical. The mockumentary format had already been perfected by classics like The Office and Parks and Recreation. After years of copycats, the genre felt tired and full of clichés.But then something unexpected happened — Abbott Elementary worked. By introducing subtle changes to the formula, the show managed to feel fresh, relevant, and genuinely funny. Instead of being another imitation, it breathed new life into the mockumentary sitcom and

Tres tristes tigres, el primer largometraje de Raúl Ruiz es una obra clave del cine chileno. La película sigue a tres personajes en un deambular por Santiago, entre bares, boites y conversaciones cargadas de humor, melancolía y desencanto. Ruiz retrata la farra como un estado existencial, donde el habla chilena, la cámara inquieta y la atmósfera urbana construyen un retrato único que dio inicio a una trayectoria legendaria.

My favorite sports movies are Chariots of Fire and The Natural. The two leads in Chariots of Fire -- Ben Cross and Ian Charleson -- are gone, as is key supporting actor Brad Davis. Robert Redford's passing made me think of Ben (who lived into his 70s), but especially Brad and Ian, who both died of AIDS at ages 41 and 40, respectively.
