2022/11/26

...in which learn in real time some details about the 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee and the Dawes Act/Dawes Rolls. We're talking the film that fictionalizes (for some reason) real events on the Pine Ridge Reservation in the 1970s, Thunderheart (1992). Plus we wrap up our Native November viewing with some good ol contrasts and comparisons. +++++ Intro: by Professor Ping available on Bandcamp Outro: John Trudell performing Rockin' the Rez --- Support this podcast:

Ep 3.47 - Smoke Signals

2022/11/19

In our 3rd entry in our look at films that deal with Indigeneity, we bring you probably the most well known (to US audiences at least) Native production: 1998's Smoke Signals. Written by Sherman Alexie, directed by Chris Eyre and co-produced by the two, it *allegedly* holds the title of being the first film to have Native Americans in all three roles. Anyhoo it's about fathers and trauma and generational stuff. And we get on to talkin' about white supremacy and the like, so: the usual. Another

2022/11/12

Greetings! In this, our first ever review of a non-English language film, we bring also maybe our first Canadian production? If you can call it that... Anyway, it's 2001's Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner. Based on an Inuit legend, this epic comes in at just under 3 hours. So strap in. It is as unique as it is worth your time. 2017 Interview with Zacharias Kunuk and Natar Ungalaaq +++++ Intro: by Professor Ping available on Bandcamp Outro: Tanya Tagaq performing In Me --- Support this podcast:

Ep 3.45 - Powwow Highway

Z and Keith Watched A Movie ·

2022/11/05

Welcome to our month of focusing on Native creators and stories. It promises to be a somber one! A riff of the classic road movie, 1989's Powwow Highway has an undeniable charm. While not sugarcoating reservation life and the particular struggles of post VietNam War Natives, it avoids the pitfalls of hopelessness and poverty porn. There is sly humor and complex depictions of implicit racisms. A high recommend from us! Plus Z dives into some of their lived experiences as an Indigenous person

2022/10/29

THE HORROR-- This is the final entry in Z & Keith's Second Annual Doc-Oc-Shock-Rocktober Hollerween Scream-a-long Spook-a-thon! It's been a wild and befuddling journey, and this film is no exception. TV's William Katt stars as a horror novelist haunted by his experiences in the war on Viet Nam. A premise with potential that reminded us of Jacob's Ladder but in the end, this movie can't decide if it's a comedy or not. Plus we give you our cheers & jeers for this month's holiday

Holy Hell, it's already the penultimate episode of Z & Keith's Second Annual Doc-Oc-Shock-Rocktober Hollerween Scream-a-long Spook-a-thon! In which we casually breeze through such topics as: morals vs ethics, consent, the unbearable straightness of Hellraiser (1987), and Keith's inability to cope with the ambiguities therein. +++++ Intro: by Professor Ping available onBandcamp Outro: Tom Waits performing Frank's Wild Years --- Support this podcast:

2022/10/08

It's the year 2022 and HOLLERWEEN 2's second episode is here to terrify you with a blunt, yet effective metaphor about how upper classes stay top in 1989's Society! Directed by pod favorite Brian Yuzna and featuring (extremely) wet puppet design by Screaming Mad George, the only thing this film is missing is solid performances.

Howdy, y'all! We wrap our month of workin' it w/Dolly with the 1980 classic 9 to 5. One part revenge fantasy, one part slapstick comedy, a healthy dose of "women's lib" and at least a few pinches of WTF, this mélange of mayhem only works as well as it does because of it's amazing cast.

Surprise! In this EXTRA FREE VALUE-ADDED episode we're talking about two documentaries related to our other viewing this month. We watched Chicken Ranch (1983) and Keith watched 9to5: The Story of A Movement (2020). The first goes inside a notorious legalized brothel in Nevada which claims a lineage with the house of the same name that was the basis for The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. The other, as you probably guessed, is the true story that inspired Straight Talk. jk 9to5 details the

No punny subtitle this week--this one speaks for itself! Based on the hit Broadway production, we're talking the celluloid adaptation of a story based on real events, 1982's Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

Arkansasian bumpkin Shirlee Kenyan stumbles into the top of the talk radio charts with her homespun country wisdom. Along the way, the most undesirable man in the world berates her, digs into her past and then--you guessed it--falls for and wins her over. And there's a lot of car horns.

In this very special episode, we both cry. We're talking Gods and Monsters (1998). Based on the novel Father of Frankenstein by Christopher Bram which gives a speculative account of the last days of Frankenstein (1931) director James Whale. Oddly enough--in talking about this movie about movies, images, bodies--we talk about impossible body standards in media, the abuse of bodies by The Industry and warmongers, the enforcement of heteronormativity... which inevitably leads to tears.

Salutations! To finish off July, we bring you the final installment of Keith's bday month curations: C.H.U.D. (1984). Something fishy is happening under the streets of Manhattan. The wife of the chief of the 9th precinct has gone missing, homeless folks are not showing up at their regular soup kitchen, the Nuclear Regulator Commission is leaving behind ankle boots. This movie has a lot of familiar faces, and is entrenched in the pop culture zeitgeist, but how many people have actually watched it

Hello, young lovers! We bring you a tale as old as time: a young Lothario catches feelings for the first conquest of his that he respects. Meanwhile her dad is a gambler indebted to a mafioso who attempts to leverage the situation to pimp her out to a South American drug lord with whom he's trying to secure a deal. Naturally, they all end up in Atlantic City, one of them with a shirt that never dries. Shakespearean, really. It's The Pick Up Artist (1987) starring brat pack alum Molly Ringwald and
