EPISODE #412-- We continue to belatedly celebrate Black History Month with the concert film HAIL! HAIL! ROCK 'N' ROLL from 1987, staring none other than the king of rock and roll himself, Chuck Berry.

We also talk Johnathan Glazer's THE ZONE OF INTEREST (2023), Akira Kurosawa's SANJURO (1962), Alfred Hitchcock's SPELLBOUND (1948), as well as CADILLAC RECORDS (2008), DRUNKEN ANGEL (1948), and the latest version of SHOGUN (2024) on Hulu. It's a good batch.

EPISODE #411-- We return to the 80's to celebrate a life and to commemorate Black History Month (sorry for the delay) with the pulpy actioner ACTION JACKSON (1988) from Craig R. Baxley. Importantly, though, RIP to the lengend himself, Carl Weathers (1948 - 2024). It's a good one, come listen.

We also talk about RAN (1985) from Akira Kurosawa, as well as Kelly Reichardt's FIRST COW (2019), Vittorio di Sica's THE BICYCLE THIEVES (1948), and Paul Thomas Anderson's HARD EIGHT (1997). A good little group of films.

EPISODE #410-- Cruz, fresh from the sawbones is back and ready to tackle maybe the worst dystopian sports movie the 1970's has to offer. That's right, we take on Norman Jewison's ROLLERBALL (1975). 

We also handle Amazon's latest season of REACHER, Apple's MASTERS OF THE AIR, HBO's BAND OF BROTHERS, as well as Kurosawa's NO REGRETS FOR OUR YOUTH (1946), ZATOICHI: THE BLIND SWORDSMAN (1972), THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123 (1974), and ROCKY (1976). Lot of war. Lot of the 1970's.

EPISODE #403-- We get back into the world of Powell and Pressburger with the top propaganda pic of 1941: 49th PARALLEL, which stars just about everyone with a British accent at the time. A great little picture about an awful big war.

We also talk about James Cameron's ALIENS (1986) and Ishiro Honda's GODZILLA (1954). Two great old monster movies.

EPISODE #380-- If you like crud, boy do we have a movie for you. NEMESIS (1992) is from legendary schlockmonger, Albert Pyun (RIP), and is the little sci-fi movie that could. Except that it can't. It almost doesn't work on any level and yet. . . It's kind of good? I mean, good as far as blatant riffs on THE TERMINATOR are concerned. Check it out for free online and then come and listen to the show!

We also talk about TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY (2011) again, BRIDGE OF SPIES (2015), and GUNDAM 08th MS TEAM (1996).
