| A Filmmaker's Film: Irma Vep | 23 May 2022 | 00:52:02 | |
The cat suit was an aesthetic concept first ideated by the french filmmaker and actress Musidora. Since that first inception in 1915, many a movie heroine (or villainess) has donned the black, skin-tight image we come to see in IRMA VEP. But to focus on the physical beauty of its star (Maggie Cheung), is to miss the point (if not entirely). Theme Music "A Movie I'd Like to See" by Al Harley.

| Hendrix Wanted to Be There: Summer of Soul | 02 May 2022 | 00:42:15 | |
Hendrix wanted to make it. Aretha was a no-show. The Harlem Cultural Festival of 1969 took place 100 miles away from Woodstock, yet so few were aware of it's existence, much less it significance. Thanks to renewed interest in the raw footage of this event, we all get to enjoy this forgotten piece of American History. This week, we're talking about the greatest documentary of 2021, SUMMER OF SOUL, directed by Ahmir "?uestlove" Thomspon. Theme Music "A Movie I'd Like to See" by Al Harley.

| Everything is In Focus: Parallel Mothers | 11 Apr 2022 | 00:46:27 | |

| Promoting Self-Awareness: Divorce Italian Style | 14 Mar 2022 | 00:39:02 | |
Divorce was illegal in Italy until 1974. In DIVORCE ITALIAN STYLE when a Sicilian aristocrat becomes unhappy with his wife, he tries to trick her into having an affair so he can catch her in the act, then kill her. Because obviously murdering your wife is far less immoral than allowing women to leave their marriages. Theme Music "A Movie I'd Like to See" by Al Harley.

| Angry in a Good Way: Promising Young Woman | 28 Feb 2022 | 00:42:31 | |
This film's title references from the infamous Brock Turner case - the Stanford University student who raped and assaulted an unconscious female student behind a dumpster at a fraternity party. Much was made at the time of Turner's promising future as a swimmer. As his father said in a much publicized court letter, why should his son's life be "deeply altered" for "20 minutes of action"? This film poses the question: Why are we willing to sacrifice promising young women for promising young men? Theme Music "A Movie I'd Like to See" by Al Harley.

| All Those Peens: Zola | 31 Jan 2022 | 00:40:33 | |
