Ep# 71 - Soviet Sci-Fi in the 60s

Cinema60 ·

2023/04/18

In search of thought provoking astral projections from across the galaxy, the USS KINO60 has launched triumphantly for what will be remembered as a utopian journey through the stars. Cosmonauts Bart and Jenna have reported some bumpy viewing conditions and unstable nuke-happy alien civilizations, but for the most part their mission has remained stylish and largely made up of primary colors. We wish them the best – glory to the conquerors of the universe!In this episode, Bart and Jenna take a peak at

Ep# 70 - The Films of Robert Wise in the 60s

Cinema60 ·

2023/03/28

Kicking off our fifth season are the films of Robert Wise, arguably the most important director of the sixties – that is if you’re going by box office profits. Despite the musical genre not being one he ever associated with before this decade, Wise almost single-handedly shaped the evolution of the Hollywood Musical. Previously known for his noirs and a few notable sci-fi and horror films, by the 1960s he became the director for two of the biggest movie musicals of all time. In this episode, Bart

Ep# 69 - Egypt's Golden Age of Cinema in the 60s

Cinema60 ·

2022/12/29

Starting in the mid 1940s and continuing through the 1960s, Egypt experienced a Golden Age of cinema. With the third largest private film production system in the world, Egypt acted as Hollywood to most all Arabic speaking countries; producing commercially minded hit after hit, with crowd pleasing stories, star players and big wig directors. Yet, as with most industries during the time, by the 1960s the bottom had started to fall out – The Nasser regime nationalized the industry in 1966, bringing a

Ep# 68 - Korean War Movies in the 60s

Cinema60 ·

2022/11/29

The Korean War is aptly known in America as the “Forgotten War.” During the 1960s, the subject took in its last cinematic hurrah before getting overshadowed by the rising unpopularity of America’s involvement in the Vietnam War. Meanwhile, South Korea was experiencing a fabled “Golden Age” of cinema that followed the civil war and continued into the ‘60s – one that had some of its most famous hits rather cruelly lost to time. At Cinema60, we’ve largely ignored the Combat Film genre on whole… until

Ep #67 - Kiss, Marry, Kill in the 60s: 1969

2022/11/01

With a starting list of over 15,000 features and documentaries to choose from, it’s unlikely that the Cinema60 team will ever run out of movies to watch and discuss from their chosen decade. But Bart and Jenna have crossed a significant finish line with today’s episode. Starting with Episode 5 back in March of 2019, Cinema60 has regularly put out “grab bag” episodes where your hosts pick three movies each from a given year - one they’ve never seen but are itching to watch, one they absolutely adore

Ep #66 - Anthony Perkins in the 60s

Cinema60 ·

2022/10/11

Partially due to his desire to not get typecast after his most famous role, as well an urge to escape the pressure put on him by the studios to not be so ‘out’ about his homosexuality, Perkins ran away from Hollywood and ended up having one of the strangest careers of any major star in the 60s. Fortunately, his self-imposed exile in France resulted in a bunch of movies that are exactly the kind of thing that the hosts of this podcast are always looking for: lost treasures that every cinephile should

Ep #65 - Bootleg Bond in the 60s - Agent 077

2022/09/13

We’re back in the world of Bootleg Bond, navigating the vast number of rip-offs and spoofs that tried to cash in on the 007 craze. In this episode, Cinema60 goes to Italy to scout out Agent 077 – the ever forgettable Eurospy with the ever changing name and face. Marvel as he shoots men, slaps women, skis mountains, flies helicopters, saves the world from nuclear meltdown and remains wholly unengaging throughout. These six utterly disposable entertainments aren’t really the point here, though. The

Ep #64 - Francis Ford Coppola in the 60s

Cinema60 ·

2022/08/23

In many ways, the story of Francis Ford Coppola in the 1960s is a true parallel to the story of the dissolution and subsequent restructuring of Hollywood throughout the decade. Coppola got into the film industry quickly after graduating college, he started in nudie flicks and worked his way up through various low budget Roger Corman pictures. After earning his MFA in film from UCLA in 1967, he graduated to working on blockbusters – only to find himself drawn to a style of independent film later

2022/08/02

Four generations collide when Bart and Jenna sit down for a conversation with budding film scholar and popular Letterboxd personality, Zoë Rogan, about Boomer movies. Using the final Arthur Freed-produced MGM musical, Bells Are Ringing, as a taking off point, the three classic Hollywood fanatics get to the bottom of what it is about older movies that makes them so much more appealing than current cinema. In this episode, Bart and Jenna grill Zoë on her method for getting contemporary film fans

Cinema60 ·

2022/07/12

With all of the talk of Ukraine happening right now, Cinema60 figured it was a good a time as any to see what films they could find. The films selected for this episode were mainly produced by Dovzhenko Film Studios in Kyiv during the post-Stalinist thaw that resulted in a push to create a uniquely Ukrainian Cinema that could be presented to the rest of the Soviet Union to demonstrate the diversity of cultures that have come together under one glorious united socialist banner. And so, Cinema60

2022/06/14

Continuing our series of posthumous interviews, Cinema60 summons up Andrew Sarris from beyond the grave to talk about one of his favorite films: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Best known for having popularized the auteur theory to the English speaking world, Sarris was a powerhouse film critic in the 1960s who wrote primarily for The Village Voice. In this episode, Bart and Jenna discuss Sarris’ career and his unique voice in the world of film criticism before they get lost in a tangle of wildly

Cinema60 continues its series of Kiss, Marry, Kill, this time with a focus on the year 1968. As previously explained, it’s a variation on the ol’ FMK game, played year by year as we go through the decade. Bart and Jenna challenge each other to choose one film they love (“Marry”), one film they want to see (“Kiss”), and one film they hate (“Kill”) that was released in the year 1968.In this episode, Bart and Jenna indulge in some of the best introspective cinema that 1968 has to offer – including in

Ep# 59 - King Arthur and The Knights of the Round...

Cinema60 ·

2022/05/03

What was it about Arthurian legends that so captivated 1960s audiences? Depending on who’s doing the retelling, and the century they’re living in, the tales of King Arthur and his knights vary wildly from stodgy conservative fables, to shockingly taboo love triangles, to intriguing surrealistic sorcery. When Lerner and Loewe’s play Camelot arrived on the scene in 1960 it quickly became a smash hit – an adaptation of T. E. White’s Freudian-heavy text, it starred Richard Burton, Julie Andrews and put

Ep# 58 - Stan Brakhage in the 60s

Cinema60 ·

2022/04/12

The legacy of Stan Brakhage looms large in the crowded world of 1960s experimental film. His style of filming and editing has become instantly recognizable, as are the themes of nature, bodies, and children that he always circles back to. Having rejected a more conventional lifestyle, inspired in part by experimental artists he met in San Francisco and New York, Brakhage developed his own unique style of filmmaking from a young age – one that dabbled equally in refracted light, microscopic detail,

Joining Cinema60 for this episode is Gabriele Caroti, former director of BAMcinematek and founder of film distribution company Seventy Seven. This month Seventy Seven is releasing into theaters the 2K restoration of Barney Platts-Mills’ Bronco Bullfrog, a gritty but delightful piece of British kitchen sink realism, originally released in 1970, set against the backdrop of the working class teens in East London.

Ep# 56 - British Spy Films in the 60s

Cinema60 ·

2022/03/15

Or perhaps we should say British Anti-Bond Spy Films in the ‘60s. Everybody knows midcentury cinema was spy crazy, but it also goes without saying that these spy films were largely modeled after the action-packed espionage found in James Bond and very little on the kind of work actual spies do. What links the films in our latest Bootleg Bond episode is the common goal on the part of a number of British production companies to demonstrate that there’s plenty of drama to be found in a more realistic

Ep# 55 - Mexican Horror Films in the 60s

Cinema60 ·

2022/02/22

By the beginning of the ‘60s, Mexican Horror had developed its own distinct tropes, evolved from old Universal monster movies to create formulaic crowd pleasers with plenty of gothic atmosphere and vengeful supernatural creatures. But by the end of the ‘60s, they were already expanding into more original films that thoughtfully approached terror and dread in a way that’s reminiscent of modern horror techniques. So take a listen and don’t worry – this frightening trip is punctuated with moments of

2021/12/16

Ah, Paul Newman - arguably the biggest actor of the ‘60s. Who doesn’t get lost in those dreamy blue eyes? But this episode isn’t about him, really. It’s about his better half, Joanne Woodward, who had twice his acting chops but, unfortunately, a quarter of his drawing power on the marquee. But you don’t need to do the math to discover how great Joanne is after you watch all her ‘60s movies. Don’t just take it from us, this episode was actually inspired by a listener’s request for more Paul Newman

Ep# 52 - Sapphic Cinema in the 60s

Cinema60 ·

2021/11/18

While the end of the decade ushered in an explosion of gay rights movements, it’s no secret that the 1960s were not exactly the friendliest decade for LGBTQ people. When it comes to showing lesbians on film, there seemed to be a bit more wiggle room – in the same way laws were more punishing towards male homosexuality, the female variety seemed to be allowed to get away with being more openly about gay issues. Or you know, about peering into the lives of some “very close friends”… with benefits. The
