2017/12/29

For some strange reason, Jack listens to other podcasts sometimes, and when he does he tries to find movies he hasn't heard of before for a little series now in its penultimate outing: What the Devil is That? In this case, the excellent 80's All Over (check your local listings via Scott Weinberg and Drew McWeeny on Twitter and so on) mentioned it in their September of 82 episode... and Jack conveniently blocked out whatever else they said after those two words came forth. Should their words of

Episode 105.1: DOWNSIZING

Wages of Cinema ·

2017/12/29

We're back after a Christmas where we got very big on food, so how do we get small again? On Christmas Day an unlikely blockbuster film- from the director of Citizen Ruth and Nebraska- featuring Matt Damon as a man who shrinks down to 5 inches tall was released and somehow this was the one that caught Jack and Andrew's attention. Korey came along out of tiny curiosity (ho ho, get ready, there are a number of small puns). We saw it. Is it a BIG deal? Email:

Episode 104: CALL ME BY YOUR NAME

2017/12/23

Now, we didn't quite intend to do an entire episode, let alone one going past an hour long, about the new Luca Guadagagno film "Call Me By Your Name" (there are still many other films Jack has seen that could/will be talked about from 2017 that haven't yet). But Jack didn't see this with Andrew, Jack saw this his wife Korey, and... well, if you want to know more about her thoughts on the movie, just imagine everything Rotten Tomatoes is telling you with its 96% score... and reverse that.

2017/11/30

Hope you're ready for the return of a series we haven't done in a while; you may recall Wages of Cinema has in the past reached out to local (to the NYC area) filmmakers, actors, artists, playwrights, etc, and had conversations with them on mic about their lives, careers, the projects they're working on and have worked on and the process as they see it. We now return to this for a conversation that Jack has been wanting to have for a while: filmmaker-photographer-actor-producer-Doctor-Who-Godzilla

"Shall we?" It's finally here! How many of you were so aching to see Justice League? Did Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice whet your appetite (or as our usual/special guest star Matthew Catania of the https://mattthecatania.wordpress.com blog says phonetically, Beavis Dodge, maybe our next Scotus)? How about Cyborg? Or Steppenwolf? Or... no, no wake up, we're still podcasting here! Jack and Andrew were talking about this movie for a while. How did we find this epic team up of Batman, Wonder

Ep 101: Marvel's THOR - RAGNAROK

Wages of Cinema ·

2017/11/03

Take some Flash Gordon, throw in several grams of Douglas Adams, a good teaspoon of 80's synth, and of course in the package that original comes from Jack "King" Kirby (from his work on Thor but also, more importantly, the Fourth World series for Marvel's rival DC), and you got yourself a recipe for RAGNAROK, friends. This is not your usual Marvel motion picture! ... Okay, it kind of is, but the director, Taika Waititi, is here to make it much more of those things I mentioned, not to mention Jeff

2017/10/31

And now we go into that most terrifying and horrifying genre of all: HORROR COMEDIES! Nah, just kidding, but this is one neither Jack nor Andrew heard before (which is strange considering Jack's deep-dive into the works of Roger Corman over the summer, an act Andrew found absurd, but no matter). This is a movie "from the producer of Little Shop of Horrors" as it says on the poster, which may be (in 1989 when this came out) a case of someone telling the truth AND kind of not being truthful at the

Hey... WE MADE IT! 100 friggin' episodes! This is wonderful news, and more importantly we couldn't have come this far without the support and plays from all of YOU out there in the Wages-World. Thank you, and we are pleased to bring you a giant 3-Part episode 100 for your listening pleasure. In this first segment, Jack and Andrew read a listener posting on social media (don't forget you can always do the same, wagesofcinema@gmail.com, plus find us on Facebook and Twitter) asking about the most

You're goddamn right two grown men in their 30's saw the newly released MY LITTLE PONY movie via Hasbro's production company ALLSPARK! You have no idea how much Jack was chomping at the bit to go see this and fall in love all over again with... oh, wait, sorry, read the notes wrong, that's Andrew, yes, Andrew was the one going for this one, and... Well, how is it? You'll just have to listen to two grown men who saw this movie on a weeknight at the local cineplex with no one else in the theater to

up front - SPOILERS at 39:04 in. So, now we have this little movie that no one's paid attention to and has got little fanfare and has absolutely no previous cult status appeal or a rabid fanbase that has... oh wait, wait, I just got the cable in from the telefax and it tells me that this is a... long awaited follow-up to a rather popular "Classic" film, and we don't throw that word around lightly. Blade Runner (1982, about the year 2019) is often looked at as one of those objectively great films

Take Tom Waits, put him into an average/oddball crime drama, and... well, there's Tom Waits at least, and he waits for no man! We watched the obscure British crime film BEARSKIN: AN URBAN FAIRYTALE, and... well, there's more to talk about than just Waits!

This episode Jack and Andrew travel the world, from America to Vietnam to Germany to Japan and back to America again. There are certainly a fair share of enemies of the US in history, but that doesn't mean we can't look back at the history and see what is there to... well, be seen and experience! The large part of this episode, for about the first 40 minutes (after an initial discussion of Happy Meal toy tie-ins to movies), is about Ken Burns & Lynn Novick's THE VIETNAM WAR epic 10-part event and

So, a movie from 1990 by the Batman Forever/Batman & Robin guy (but before he was known for that! this was post-Lost Boys, pre Falling Down Joel Schumacher, prime Schum!), and a movie from... this year by the Dragon Tattoo guy (no, not Fincher, the other Dragon Tattoo from Sweden, the one people pretend they saw but actually didn't because subtitles). How can they face off against each other? What will win out, if at all?!?! And the bigger question: what happens when you actually get a remake

2017/09/17

This just in, people who follow things happening in movies: the seventh feature film by director Darren "Black Swan Requiem for a Dream Pi Wrestler Fountain Noah" Aronofsky featuring a perplexed Jennifer Lawrence just got an 'F' on Cinemascore. First question is: what the hell is Cinemascore, and second one is, who cares? What matter is what the Wages of Cinema thought about this movie that is getting only a LOT of talk (and this time, unlike in recent political talk, it's fair to say there's

2017/09/11

Who can pinpoint the exact reason - that uncanny clown scare that happened last year with clowns randomly appearing in people's towns (no really, look it up); the StephenKingaissance (or ReckonKing?) as many of his works are getting adapted this very year (including one which we touch upon in this review, THE DARK TOWER and that didn't do too well); uh... politics (re: that meme of Trump in the sewer asking to come down to float since it's tremendous, believe me) - but somehow IT is one of the major

Don't you just love long-as-hell titles? Things like The Cook, The Thief His Wife and Her Lover, or Me and You and Everyone We Know or Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice (in the Hood)? It takes some chutzpah to put a title for something that will take a deep breath to get out at once. But so we have another case here (which, unbeknownst to us while recording, Jack only found out after the fact, is a *remake* of an even more obscure 1970 movie) is THE LADY IN THE CAR WITH

We start of with Dali, of course, because he is DALI! This leads Jack to remember LITTLE ASHES, which brings to another detour to talk about LITTLE BUDDHA, and somehow we wrap back around to GOOD TIME which stars Pattinson (he plays Dali in Ashes); Andrew brings up how tired he is of STAR WARS in popular culture and how it may be *dangerous* after all this time (ROGUE ONE comes up again especially, with a shout-out so to speak to RED LETTER MEDIA's reviews); Jack talks about seeing THE TEXAS CHAIN
