Giant (1956) ft. Kieran B. and Peterson W. Hill
Saison 7 · Épisode 334
mercredi 14 octobre 2026 • Durée 02:45:32
Dana and Tom with 5x Club members, Kieran B. (Host and Creator of the Best Picture Cast) and Peterson W. Hill (Co-Host of the War Starts at Midnight podcast) discuss Giant (1956) for its 70th anniversary: directed by George Stevens, written by Fred Guiol and Ivan Moffat, cinematography by William C. Mellor, music by Dmitri Tiomkin, editing by William Hornbeck, Phillip W. Anderson, and Fred Bohanan, starring Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, James Dean, Carroll Baker, Jane Withers, Dennis Hopper, and Sal Mineo.
Plot Summary: Giant is a sweeping Texas epic. Bick Benedict (Rock Hudson), a proud cattle rancher and multi-generational Texan marries Leslie (Elizabeth Taylor), a spirited woman from Maryland. Meanwhile, Jett Rink (James Dean), a resentful ranch hand, strikes oil and becomes fabulously rich. Over twenty-five years, the film follows their rivalry, a changing Texas, and the family's struggles with prejudice and tradition.
Dana and Tom with 5x Club Member and CLP Contributor, Peterson W. Hill (Co-Host of the War Starts at Midnight podcast), discuss The Departed (2006) for its 20th anniversary: directed by Martin Scorsese, written by William Monahan, cinematography by Michael Ballhaus, music by Howard Shore, editing by Thelma Schoonmaker, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Alec Baldwin, Mark Wahlberg, and Martin Sheen.
Plot Summary: In The Departed, the story gives us a thrilling, double-blind paradox: Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) is an undercover state trooper trying to take down Irish mob boss Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) from the inside. Meanwhile, Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) is a golden-boy state trooper who is secretly a mole reporting back to Costello. When both sides realize they have a rat in their house, a paranoid race begins as both moles must uncover the other's identity before they are exposed and killed. It’s a cat-and-mouse game where both men are playing both roles.
