Hasn't this year been great? Haven't you just had a lot of fun paying attention to the news? Aren't you so happy about the election results? We just want to go dance in the streets! ... Actually, no, we don't. We don't know about you, but things aren't looking so good in the world right now, however you think about the Presidential election results. So we aren't here tonight at the Wages of Cinema to talk about that. Instead of this, somehow, to help Jack out most of all, we picked out a

Now time for the usual question: WILL ANDREW SURVIVE, AND WHAT WILL BE LEFT OF HIM? He got into the Tank to check out Tobe Hooper's iconoclastic, horror-tastic, hard-to-watch-still-today classic, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. So come on in for some head cheese and what may be the most efficiently told horror movie of all time. (score from the movie, this podcast owned by Wages of Cinema) wagesofcinema@gmail.com

On this episode 68: HEAR! Andrew bring up an issue that's bugged him in the weeks since recording the episode (Dr. Jack & Dr. Andrew's Case Files #3) on Heaven's Gate, and then he also brings up to Jack what it means that Marvel is into this 'origin story' formula and what it means for their movies (also expanding on their review, ep 66) HEAR! Jack catching up with a little more old-school Godzilla, a notoriously WTF horror sequel (among other hit or miss horror movies, mostly miss sadly), the

Hey, anybody want this bowl of Garmonbozia we just cooked up? Oh, wait, doesn't that translate to 'Pain and Anguish'? Oh, correct, yeah. nevermind. Not one to back away from a (self-imposed) challenge, Jack checked out Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, the feature film spin-off/prequel for the iconic television show that made everyone want coffee, pie and a dancing Man from Another Place (or at least a Log Lady or singing Norweigans), and one that, truth be told, he didn't care for too much on a

Episode 66: Marvel's DOCTOR STRANGE

2016/11/05

So what do you get when you take Marvel, Benedict Cumberbatch, magic, and the director of Sinister (not to mention the co-writer formerly known as CARLYLE on Spill.com, remember that, maybe, possibly), and a whole load of magic and psychedelic sorcery and trippy visuals? Somehow, Doctor Strange comes together. But did it for the hosts of Wages of Cinema? Jack and Andrew saw the movie and, as with other tentpole comic book movies, they're joined by Guest Star Matt (Catania,

Though this was actually, technically, talked about this waaay back at episode 8.4 of the podcast (correction: Jack said episode 4 or 5 in the recording), it's always worth going back again to one of those notorious films that shook up the industry despite the fact that, as irony would have it, at the time not too many people saw Michael Cimino's doomed follow-up to The Deer Hunter: HEAVEN'S GATE. Starring Kris Kristofferson, (then relatively unknown) Isabelle Huppert, and recent Oscar winner

2016/10/23

This week in our main topic, we at the Wages of Cinema decided to do two things for this Halloween movie season: first, discuss the many horror tropes and concepts, things that we sometimes take for granted (too for granted, or just have come to accept as givens like jump scares and creepy children and so on); second, Jack and Andrew do something a little different: they each pitch some original ideas for horror movies. Take note, Hollywood, we're coming for you! Some of the movies and types we

Episode 64.2: Cinema Immersion Tank #20- SUSPIRIA

Wages of Cinema ·

2016/10/23

The Italian director Dario Argento, behind such films as The Bird with Crystal Plumage, Deep Red, Tenebre, Inferno and Phenomena among many others, including the film under discussion in the Cinema Immersion Tank today, SUSPIRIA, once said, " Films are dreams. Many, many critics say to me that my films are not good because they are too unbelievable, but this is my style. I tell stories like they are dreams. This is my imagination." How, then, does Suspiria hold up as a dream, or even as a story?

And now let's talk MOVIES! Jack kind of dominates this one - Andrew talks about Grand Hotel, though he's seen a couple other films Jack has so he chimes in - and it's the wide variety we like to bring to Wages of Cinema, from Japanese monster movie to resistance war movie to broad parody to Patrick Swayze kicking everyone's ass and the latest from Tim Burton, Mark Wahlberg, and that guy who stirred up that little dust over at Sundance about that movie named after that other movie but it's not a

Just when you think it's safe to back to Japan that dangnabiit lizard comes out of the water and does... wait, is THAT what our King of the Monsters looks like now? Holy sushi, Batman! But the real question this time as Toho brings back Godzilla for the first time in 12 years (their longest time without him - even Godzilla 85 was only a 10 year wait), what new can be done with him? Well, what if he/it is not really the main attraction? Sure the big mother-jammer takes up the poster, but what

Good, because Jack took a dive into total anarchy and youth rebellion and angst and boredom and ROCK AND ROLL to bring you this podcast.

Not always the brightest prospect, is it? A remake of a remake - something that wasn't even that original when the Americans took what Akira Kurosawa decided to make in 1954 as a repurposing of what he thought of as *templates from the Western*. Do we get here Antoine Fuqua doing his King Kong (also a remake of a remake) and having the time of his life, or is it like filtered coffee through one of Vincent D'Onofrio's boots? Jack and Andrew, no strangers to the Western genre (look at any given one

Still so much more to talk about- we might even impress Barry Champlain mayhap with such talk: we get back where we left off in discussing Stone's "Vietnam Trilogy" with Born on the Fourth of July, and we go on through with the likes of JFK, Natural Born Killers, Alexander (the *many* cuts), to his latest release, Snowden (which Jack got to see right before recording). It's a big one so strap in. (Oh, and we finally come to the moment where Andrew cracks up laughing for a minute straight. What

The world would probably - no, let's put aside probably, most certainly - be different had Oliver Stone not made that decision after Vietnam to become a filmmaker. Hell, the world might be different had he not decided to *volunteer* to go to Vietnam to fight (at a time when that was not the majority way, usually it was 'you got drafted, you go'). Because Stone, for whatever you think of his work, added an extra dimension to dramatic-historical cinema, in a way that's drawn controversy on...

2016/09/20

One of the most successful films not just for Disney (actually it's their top-grossing non-Pixar movie not counting inflation but whatever), but of all time, FROZEN is still looked at as the 'how the heck did THAT happen?' It's kind of a miracle the film turns out the way it does, as a crowd-pleaser about sisters and love as an open door and trolls that sing songs while a comic relief snowman looks on. It's madness, I tell you! And yet.... does it make *sense*? Andrew dived so deep into Frozen

We now continue with our regular scheduled Porpoise... Sorry, what, oh, Purpose, but the Porpoise can stay too. So what happened when the Marx brothers went to MGM via the figurehead Irving J Thalberg? A little known comedy called A Night at the Opera came to be, and then A Day at the Races. Then Thalberg died. What were the brothers to do? Do you sense we have too many questions going on here?

In the West, a gun was about as necessary as having a Western-Cowboy hat, or spurs, or whatever those things are on the edge of a belt, what are they called... oh yeah, holsters. In 1950, Anthony Mann, from a story by Stuart N Lake, made one of the essential Western films that has as its focus not necessarily one character (though it's filled with tired heroes, unapologetic villains, and a tough dame, not to mention Wyatt Earp, Sioux Indians, and shoot-outs and bank robberies and a whole ball of

For about the first 29 minutes of episode 60, Jack takes some time to try and figure out what Kevin Smith is all about with his Reaction-to-Negative-YOGA HOSERS-reviews video on YouTube (note: neither hosts have seen the movie yet), and Andrew is amazed by the specifics of how Ryan Reynolds dedication how DEADPOOL got made. Then, some movie talk (oh, and they are both still flabbergasted over the new trend of directors/actors "Thanking" audiences in video form right before the movie begins in
