Mary Versus the Movies

Cinéma & Séries

Fréquence : 1 épisode/7j. Total Éps: 295

Sure, the 1980s were a great decade for film. But have you seen all of them? No, neither has Mary. In fact, some pretty big films passed her by, what with being in kindergarten at the time: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Moonstruck, My Neighbor Totoro... So it's time to fix that. Artwork, opening and closing themes by Dennis Lingg Produced and edited by Mary Jones

Episode 249 - High Anxiety (1977)

Épisode 249

vendredi 18 septembre 2026 • Durée 52:19

Mel Brooks takes on Alfred Hitchcock in this underrated comedy that lovingly blends Hitchcock and his imitators into a fizzy little mystery. If this had starred Gene Wilder as intended, it would've been remembered along side the best of Brooks's films.

Starring Mel Brooks, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Harvey Korman, Dick Van Patten, Ron Carey, and Howard Morris. Written by Mel Brooks, Ron Clark, Rudy De Luca, and Barry Levinson. Directed by Mel Brooks.

Episode 248 - Used Cars (1980)

Épisode 248

jeudi 10 septembre 2026 • Durée 58:22

Sleazy advertising, corrupt lawyers, inflation, an oil crisis--what is this, 1980 or 2026? This black comedy about the end of the Carter era--from the people who later brought us Back to the Future--has more than a few resonances with our current circumstances.

Starring Kurt Russell, Jack Warden, Gerritt Graham, Deborah Harmon, Frank McRae, David Lander, Michael McKean, and Joe Flaherty. Written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale. Directed by Robert Zemeckis.

Episode 247 - Legend (1985)

Épisode 247

vendredi 4 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:06:53

A princess, her forest-dwelling boyfriend, and an assortment of fairies battle the devil after she accidentally leads a unicorn into an ambush by goblins. It's an uneven film, coming during the great 1980s fantasy boom, but we liked it in spite of ourselves.

Starring Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, Tim Curry, Alice Playten, David Bennett, and Billy Barty. Written by William Hjortsberg. Directed by Ridley Scott.

Hollywood Avalon, ep. 39 - The Once and Future King: Paganism and Arthurian Cinema (full episode)

mardi 1 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:05:35

We're doing something a little different this month; instead of covering a film or tv show, we're releasing a lecture given earlier this month. Also, we're releasing this episode widely, including on the main feed.

We were recently invited by Rev. Michael Dangler--a member of the Patreon here--to give a talk at the Summerlands Festival about Arthurian cinema. And so I wrote a short essay, titled "The Once and Future King: Paganism and Arthurian Cinema", which discusses the origins of seeking Pagan themes in Arthurian legend, followed by a discussion of several films, all of which have been covered on the podcast: Apocalypse Now, Excalibur, and the Mists of Avalon among other films are brought up.

Apologies for the sound quality; we had an equipment failure, and so we only had one recording make it through the presentation, so there's some ambient noise, and audience interaction is hard to hear clearly.

Once again, we'd like to thank Rev. Dangler for inviting us to speak, we had a wonderful time, and it was great to get our thoughts down on the subject. This is the second time I've been able to give a short talk on film (see our bonus episode on Joe Dante's The Movie Orgy for the other); hopefully it won't be the last.

For anyone interested, Rev. Dangler has his own Patreon as well: https://www.patreon.com/cw/chronarchy

Épisode 245

vendredi 14 août 2026 • Durée 58:22

A jewel thief tries to build the perfect life for himself, only to find he's in hock to more powerful gangsters in this stylish Neo-noir film that has one foot in 1970s American New Wave and another in the 1980s crime thriller.

Episode 244 - The Commitments (1991)

Épisode 244

jeudi 6 août 2026 • Durée 01:03:46

A young Dubliner puts together a band of working class musicians to play American soul music in this shaggy film based on Roddy Doyle's novel.

We talk about music, what it means to be a cover band, questions raised by white singers trying to sound "black", and whether we've lost touch with making art for yourself.

Starring Robert Arkins, Michael Aherne, Angeline Ball, Maria Doyle, Dave Finnegan, Bronagh Gallagher, Félim Gormley, Glen Hansard, Johnny Murphy, Andrew Strong, and Colm Meany. Written by Roddy Doyle. Directed by Alan Parker.

Episode 243 - Back to the Beach (1987)

Épisode 243

samedi 1 août 2026 • Durée 54:54

Beach Month ends with the loving parody of the genre, where Frankie and Annette rekindle their marriage, their son falls in with punks, and their daughter falls in love with a genial surf bum. It's packed with cameos from 1960s sitcom stars, musicians, and a whole lot of green-screened surfing.

Starring Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello, Devin Sladin, Lauri Loughlin, Tommy Hinkley, Connie Stevens, Don Adams, Bob Denver, and Pee-Wee Herman. Written by Peter Krikes, Steve Meerson, and Christopher Thompson. Directed by Lyndall Hobbs.

Hollywood Avalon, ep. 38 - The Mists of Avalon (2001)

vendredi 31 juillet 2026 • Durée 05:12

The classic Arthurian story is given a Pagan spin, where the adherents of the Goddess of the Old Religion--lead by Vivian, the Lady of the Lake, and her chosen successor Morgaine--are at odds with the growing Christian religion of Glastonbury and Camelot. Everyone hopes that Arthur will be the one true king to unite the two faiths into one nation, but, well, we all know how that turns out.

This tv miniseries adaptation of Marion Zimmer-Bradley's extremely popular novel is lusciously designed for its time, but the story falls apart in the second half, not only skipping large portions of the book, but rewriting it in ways that I found frustrating.

Starring Julianna Margulies, Anjelica Huston, Joan Allen, Samantha Mathis, Edward Atterton and Michael Vartan. Written by Gavin Scott from the book by Marion Zimmer Bradley. Directed by Uli Edel.

CW: contains a brief discussion of the child sexual abuse allegations against Bradley and her ex-husband.

This is a preview of the latest episode of our series Hollywood Avalon. To hear the entire episode, join the Mary Versus the Movies patreon for $3/month to hear this and the entire series Hollywood Avalon: https://www.patreon.com/maryvsmovies.
