Have You Ever Seen

• The Elephant Man

  A new era begins in this 686th edition of Have You Ever Seen as Ryan talks about David Lynch's mainstream breakout after Eraserhead got him noticed by this film’s executive producer, Mel Brooks. The Elephant Man stars Oscar nominee John Hurt in the title role and Anthony Hopkins as his sympathetic doctor. Unusual for Lynch, his B&W biographical character piece doesn't have sex, gory violence or bad language. It's just a sensitive, affecting, sometimes sad tale about compassion, acceptance and goodness. And also John/Joseph Merrick's life-changing deformities. Hurt’s makeup really was incredible. So lay down for a nap, but make sure to put your earbuds in before you doze off as this show digs into The Terrible Elephant Man.

• The Future Of This Podcast

  This was supposed to be the slot for Bev & Ryan to talk about David Lynch's The Elephant Man, but that episode has been pre-empted. Instead, this 685th edition of Have You Ever Seen has Ryan talking alone about a major life change that greatly affects this podcast. Check this one out for those details, but also note that all my talk about "maybe" covering The Elephant Man next Monday was unfounded. That episode is already finished, so it will definitely go up on September 15th. Subscribe to the channel in your podcast app. Rate it, write a 5-star review and such.

• Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House

  Ryan's got a Friday solo show today with this 684th edition of Have You Ever Seen. Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House is a zany rom-com with Cary Grant and Myrna Loy playing a likable husband & wife who move themselves & their daughters from NYC out to the country. And their house turns out to be a disaster. This film has been acclaimed over the decades, even though it's more congenial than it is funny…and an ineffective love triangle subplot involving the snarky Melvyn Douglas is completely unnecessary. But it's undeniable that H.C. Potter directed a successful (supposed) laugh-fest in Mr. Blandings, where you can't measure what you love by what it costs. Well, Actually: there already was a "Diane Hall" in the guild, so Diane Keaton took her mother's maiden name when she got to Hollywood.

• Best Of The Splats Listicle

  It's Labour Day, sure, but we're working the podcast anyway as we talk about critically-disliked films made by 14 outstanding actors. We put the names of 50 living thespians in a hat, then pulled out 7 names apiece and talked up 1 movie of each of theirs that Rotten Tomatoes gave a bad review. A splat, if you will. Some of the names in this 683rd edition of Have You Ever Seen include Ford, Foxx, Streep, Cruise, Freeman and Weaver. While we intentionally left out a few guys for reasons that will be explained, fear not. They might come up anyway. So like what you like no matter what the reviewers think as we praise a pile of flicks that a lot of critical types did not. Sparkplug Coffee gets a ringing endorsement of freshness from anyone who drinks it. Get yours and enjoy a onetime 20% discount by using our "HYES" promo code.

• The Martian

  Our summer of podcasting comes to an end with this 682nd episode about The Martian, where we talk about Matt Damon having a years-long space adventure alone on the red planet. He's left behind by his crew and has to use his wits & botany talent to survive until they can come back for him...with plenty of help from the geniuses at NASA back on Earth. The optimism in Andy Weir's novel translates to the rare cheery entry in Ridley Scott's filmography. Damon's charm and sense of humour are a huge part of what made that possible in a science fiction film that's actually pretty close to science fact. So DO NOT fire up that disco music on the 4th planet, but DO like them potatoes as you devour our ep about The Martian. Residents of Mars can't order Sparkplug Coffee, but Canadians and Americans can...and our listeners will enjoy a onetime 20% discount if they use our "HYES" promo code. The website is "sparkplug.coffee/hyes". Subscribe to Have You Ever Seen in your app and/or on YouTube (@hyesellis in the YouTube search bar). Rate our 'casts, write a review and comment on YouTube.
