Au Hasard Balthazar (1966)

Season 5 · Episode 17

Friday, June 4, 2021 • Duration 55:18

Celebrating 55 years since its release in 1966, Au Hasard Balthazar is considered by many to be one of the greatest films of all time, and yes, we’ve been long overdue to tackle a film from the one and only Robert Bresson, whose work has influenced filmmakers of all stripes for over half a century. The film stars Anne Wiazemsky a young French woman who develops a striking bond with a donkey she’s known since its birth, and we see a chronicling of her hardships as they parallel the inhumane treatment of Balthazar, a creature representing innocence in its rawest form.

MUSIC IN THIS EPISODE: Franz Shubert’s Piano Sonata No. 20 in A major, D. 959, as heard in Au Hasard Balthazar.

A Place in the Sun (1951)

Season 5 · Episode 12

Friday, April 30, 2021 • Duration 50:49

Our film anniversary this month belongs to the romantic drama Charlie Chaplin once called “the greatest movie ever made about America.” That’s right, we’re diving into A Place in the Sun, starring Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, and Shelley Winters, with supporting turns from Anne Revere and Raymond Burr. Directed by George Stevens and written by Harry Brown and Michael Wilson, this awards-heavy favorite among classic film lovers celebrates 70 years since premiering at the Cannes Film Festival in 1951, and it was the second film adaptation of the 1925 novel An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser, which was also a place of the same name.

MUSIC IN THIS EPISODE: The opening theme of A Place in the Sun, composed by Franz Waxman and Daniele Amfitheatrof.

Raging Bull (1980), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

Season 4 · Episode 42

Monday, November 30, 2020 • Duration 01:35:54

Even in the midst of a year as hectic and unconventional as this one, Oscar season is still in full swing when it comes to this week’s selection of heavy hitters. Joining me once again for the first time in nearly three years is Maria Garcia, my former partner in crime from such shows as Now Conspiring and Part-Time Characters, and we’re discussing two films often hailed as being among the greatest of all time! We begin with Raging Bull, the morally complex sports biopic that saved Martin Scorsese’s life and has developed a widely varied legacy, and which one of us isn’t especially fond of! From there, we rewind the clock to visit Miloš Forman’s award season darling One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, a wholly unique classic within film history that holds up wonderfully to this day! What is the nature of tragedy? How far can sympathy and empathy take us? Has Sam become completely unrecognizable in the past three years? Which actor’s appearance in Cuckoo’s Nest has traumatized Maria on more than one occasion, and who emerges as the unexpected MVP of the film? Tune in to this week’s Extra Milestone for all of those answers and more.

NOTE: Due to an unfortunate (and ultimately miraculously avoided) technical error, the final 15~ minutes of the episode were slightly distorted. Sorry about that!

SHOW NOTES:

00:01:55 – Raging Bull
00:57:30 – One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

HOSTED BY: Sam Noland and Maria Garcia

MUSIC IN THIS EPISODE: Music from Raging Bull composed by Pietro Mascagni, music from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest composed by Jack Nitzsche

Mankiewicz's All About Eve, an all-star drama with a record-breaking number of Oscar nominations, and which happens to be a fantastic exploration of the unforgiving theater world. After that, I chat with my Anyway, That's All I Got cohost Anthony Battaglia about Nicholas Ray's Rebel Without A Cause, a landmark teen drama featuring an indelible posthumous performance by James Dean, and which is also fantastic!

Psycho (1960), Se7en (1995)

Season 4 · Episode 38

Friday, October 30, 2020 • Duration 01:36:16

Guy Simons Jr. (of Anyway, That's All I Got fame) joins me for the first time on Extra Milestone for a special Halloween episode devoted to two of the greatest serial killer movies of all time! Kicking off our conversation is Alfred Hitchcock's game-changing masterpiece Psycho, including the unique and revolutionary distribution of the film, the ways in which it insidiously sets itself apart from every other movie, whether or not it should be considered a 'slasher,' and more! After that, we jump forward to David Fincher's haunting detective thriller Se7en, a movie which one of us had somehow never seen until now! We also discuss the film's somewhat troubled legacy, the ways in which it has infiltrated the internet consciousness, and even some valuable insight on whether or not it should be viewed as an optimistic film!

SHOW NOTES:

00:04:05 – Psycho
01:01:35 – Se7en

MUSIC IN THIS EPISODE: "Prelude" by Bernard Herrman, "Closer (Precursor)" by Nine Inch Nails, trailers for Psycho and Se7en

CINEMAHOLICS IN THIS EPISODE: Sam Noland and Guy Simons Jr.

NEXT WEEK: Will Ashton returns to Extra Milestone to discuss three unique auteur projects from the end of the 20th Century: David Lynch's The Elephant Man, Martin Scorsese's After Hours, and Abbas Kiarostami's Close-Up!

Goodfellas (1990), Dog Day Afternoon (1975)

Season 4 · Episode 37

Friday, October 23, 2020 • Duration 02:00:53

Cinemaholics host Jon Negroni returns to Extra Milestone for a double feature of two of the greatest films of all time! We start by discussing Sidney Lumet's 1975 crime thriller Dog Day Afternoon, a revolutionary and dynamic film that remains just as relevant 45 years later, if not even more so. From there, we move on to Martin Scorsese's career-defining classic Goodfellas, which we believe may potentially hold the title as the greatest gangster film of them all, in addition to being expertly crafted in every way.

SHOW NOTES:

00:02:35 – Dog Day Afternoon
00:53:00 – Goodfellas

MUSIC IN THIS EPISODE: "Amoreena" by Elton John, "Layla (Piano Exit)" by Derek and the Dominos, trailers for Dog Day Afternoon and Goodfellas

CINEMAHOLICS IN THIS EPISODE: Sam Noland and Jon Negroni

NEXT WEEK: I am joined for the first time on Extra Milestone by my longtime friend Guy Simons Jr. for a Halloween special discussing Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and David Fincher's Se7en!

Emily Kubincanek returns to Extra Milestone at last, and in no small fashion! We're diving headfirst into the most Classic of Cinema with two brilliant films that connect to the Silent Era! First up is Charlie Chaplin's The Gold Rush, a dramatic comedy featuring Chaplin's 'Little Tramp' that cemented many dramatic traditions while simultaneously telling a heartfelt and humorous story! From there, we jump forward to Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard, which examines the world of showbusiness, the remnants of the Silent Era, and the widespread sacrifices found in Hollywood living through a melancholy lens steeped in Film Noir tradition.

00:02:25 – The Gold Rush
00:28:44 – Sunset Boulevard
01:14:35 – Recommendations of similar films to seek out

Rashomon (1950), The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

Season 4 · Episode 35

Friday, October 9, 2020 • Duration 02:04:30

The pairings keep getting stranger and stranger every week, and this week's show is no exception! Special guest Ryan Oliver joins Sam and Jon to tackle two very different classics, starting with Akira Kurosawa's massively influential 1950 arthouse classic Rashomon. We discuss everything from our differing experiences with the film, how multiple viewings have yielded different interpretations, and why the film has remained so meaningful even after 70 years. After that, we take a huge left turn toward Transylvania to examine the legacy and power of Jim Sharman's 1975 genre-defining cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which one of us doesn't like! It's another collection of varied experiences complete with a litany of recommendations to go along with both films!

SHOW NOTES:

0:04:05 – Rashomon
01:12:40 – The Rocky Horror Picture Show

MUSIC IN THIS EPISODE: "A Ghastly Discovery" by Fumio Hayasaka, "Sweet Transvestite" by Richard O'Brien, trailers for Rashomon and The Rocky Horror Picture Show

CINEMAHOLICS IN THIS EPISODE: Sam Noland, Jon Negroni, and Ryan Oliver

NEXT WEEK: Emily Kubincanek is back again! This time, we're taking a look at both the Silent Era and its legacy with Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard and Charlie Chaplin's The Gold Rush!
