Episode 239 – Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out – Rebel Ridge (2024)

Monday, September 16, 2024 • Duration 51:44

RSS/iTunes/Spotify

Check out all the episodes of CINEMA SMORGASBORD SELLS OUT right here.

Jeremy Saulnier (MURDER PARTY, BLUE RUIN, GREEN ROOM) returns after a lengthy hiatus with the long-in-development Netflix original revenge movie REBEL RIDGE! Starring Aaron Pierre as a marine facing off against the corrupt law enforcement of a small Louisiana town, it’s not quite the FIRST BLOOD-riff that the initial trailers suggested, but its mix of crooked cops, a righteous cause, racial politics and a dynamite performance in the lead creates something very special. On this episode of CINEMA SMORGASBORD SELLS OUT we restrain ourselves from delving into spoilers while discussing the film, responding to some of the critiques we’ve heard since its release, and so much more. Check it out!

Episode 238 – Wild in the Streets – The Suspicious Death of a Minor (1975)

Monday, September 9, 2024 • Duration 01:00:19

RSS/iTunes/Spotify

Check out the full Wild in the Streets archive right here

Claudio Cassinelli plays a man on the edge in Sergio Martino’s unique eurocrime oddity THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A MINOR which mixes comedic elements, the elaborate (and stylish) murder sequences from the popular giallo films of the time – including a knock-off Goblin-style score almost as good as the real thing – and the usual Poliziotteschi trappings of the era to create something a bit scattershot, but totally unique. Filled with odd flourishes and bizarre choices, it’s equally confusing and enthralling – just like our hosts! Check it out!

What? We’re back with another CINEMA SMORGASBORD SELLS OUT already?! When the wonderful Luke Higginson (director of the terrific RELAX, I’M FROM THE FUTURE starring Rhys Darby) reached out to see if he could hop back on the podcast to help promote the DVD special edition of his film, we dropped everything and put together an episode devoted to another Canadian film classic: Bruce McDonald’s legendary punk mockumentary HARD CORE LOGO from 1996. We chat about the state of the Canadian film industry, and the difficulties with Canadian film distribution, Canadian punk music, working with Julian Richings and SO MUCH MORE. It’s our punkiest episode yet! LISTEN!

Also, be sure to follow Luke on Twitter @LukeCutsVideo and pick up the super special edition of RELAX, I’M FROM THE FUTURE on Amazon or wherever fine DVDs are sold. And tell a friend!

Episode 139 – JodoWOWsky Part 9 – The Rainbow Thief (1990)

Monday, October 10, 2022 • Duration 01:44:29

RSS/iTunes/Spotify

After the worldwide success of SANTA SANGRE, Jodorowsky was inundated with offers to make horror films, but he found himself more interested in – for the first time – working with a large budget and big stars. His opportunity came in the form of producer Alexander Salkind, who approached Jodo to direct his wife’s script for a project called THE RAINBOW THIEF, starring Omar Sharif, Peter O’Toole and Christopher Lee. The result (nearly) ended Alejandro Jodorowsky’s directing career, with the film barely being released before being dumped onto VHS in the US four years after its completion. But is the final result truly a disaster? On this episode of JODOWOWSKY we’re breaking down the complicated history and tangled legacy of THE RAINBOW THIEF and asking what the heck went wrong. We also pay tribute to the late Cristóbal Jodorowsky, and discuss Jonathan Ross’s 1990 episode of his program For One Week Only devoted to Jodorowsky. Check it out!

Find the entire We Do Our Own Stunts archive right here

On this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS we’re going back in time! Back before SNAKE IN THE EAGLE’S SHADOW or DRUNKEN MASTER, when Lo Wei reluctantly gave Jackie Chan permission to – finally – make the kung fu comedy he always wanted. The result was HALF A LOAF OF KUNG FU, which Lo Wei immediately shelved until the international success of Jackie’s Yuen Woo-ping-directed films made him rush it into cinemas. How is it? Listen and find out!

All aboard the DEATH SHIP! On this episode of GEORGE KENNEDY IS MY COPILOT we’re sailing the high seas with Richard Crenna, Nick Mancuso and a boat possessed by NAZIS in the 1980 Canadian supernatural horror film DEATH SHIP! It’s full of propaganda-inspired freakouts, literal blood baths and George Kennedy yelling at people. We also chat about a series of Midas commercials from the early 80s featuring Lee Van Cleef, including one where he faces off against – you guessed it – George Kennedy. ENJOY!

Episode 135 – Forgotten Gems? – Boy Meets Girl (1984)

Monday, September 12, 2022 • Duration 59:08

RSS/iTunes/Spotify

Check out our Forgotten Gems? archive right here.

On the return (for the final time?) of FORGOTTEN GEMS? we’re watching Denis Levant and Mireille Perrier in Leos Carax’s feature debut BOY MEETS GIRL from 1984. Equal parts dark comedy, and tragic (sometimes surreal) romance, the film brings two recently jilted lovers together (eventually) despite the omnipresent distractions of tap dancing, music, pinball, and just trying to exist in your early 20s. It’s stirring, odd, and captivating, but did we understand any of it? Listen and find out!

RSS/iTunes/Spotify

Check out our Cinema Fantastica archive right here.

On this episode of Cinema Fantastica we’re traveling to the 2017 Beyond Film Festival in Los Angeles, California and pitting the 2016 Ugandan action film BAD BLACK against the 2017 German-Austrian slasher COLD HELL. From the creators of the worldwide cult sensation WHO KILLED CAPTAIN ALEX?, BAD BLACK has a similar mix of microbudget action, comedy and drama, accompanied by the ever-present commentary from a video joker, while COLD HELL pits a Turkish immigrant (an incredible Violetta Schurawlow) working as a taxi driver against a religious fanatic targeting women in Austria. Which film will reign supreme? Listen and find out!
