2016/03/25

Do you bleed after listening to the 59th review of Batman v Superman (aka Batman Five Superman)? Well... maybe you will after this, who knows. The Wages of Cinema has strong side effects which may include massive bleeding and hemorrhaging... of common sense after seeing this movie! But really, the critics have spoken, the audience is seeing this likely in droves, will you be one of those? How did Snyder manage his epic slugfest which features the iconography of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight

Local Vocal #11: RISA PAPPAS

2016/03/25

We finally RETURN with our Local Vocal series with a conversation with Risa Pappas. She is a director, a sound operator, script supervisor, producer, writer, radio producer, you name it she DOES IT. It's one thing that she is our first female director guest, but she is more than that. You will hear things you won't be able to un-hear, and we mean that in good ways (for example, you will know the ways of getting good sound for porn shoots.... yep). Listen to Pappas as she expounds on her upcoming

Do you like happenings that FREAK YOU OUT? Do you like breasts of various shapes and sizes (mostly large ones)? Do you enjoy that groovy rock and roll? Or soap operas? What about the 20th Century Fox Fanfare used in such a creative way that it may make you think differently every time you watch Star Wars? Join us for a look at the Russ Meyer/Roger Ebert (yes, that Ebert) collaboration of the in-name-only follow up to the Jacqueline Susan 1967 film, as Andrew watches it 5 times in 5 days and

Episode 41.4: Cinema Immersion Tank #5 - HAPPINESS

Wages of Cinema ·

2016/03/15

And now it's time to ask a question that you probably weren't thinking about today... what is Happiness? Or, on the ironic side, what is sadness? What is irony, or provocation, or shock, or being put under a moral microscope? How did Todd Solondz get away with an NC-17 abyss-black comedy about sex maniacs and criminals? Perhaps it has something to do with New Jersey... Jack takes a long, messy, fluid-covered dunk into the Cinema Immersion Tank to see what is under the surface of this

2016/03/14

On this episode Jack and Andrew talk about some of the movies they've watched since the last episode proper. And, per usual, we run the gamut from a 1950's sci-fi classic(?) mostly due to the poster, two Bollywood movies starring Aamir Khan, a Dreamworks animated movie (also with a giant woman), a chilling new horror film set in merry old 17th century New England, and The classic Humphrey Bogart detective picture that set his career for years to come. 1) BOLLYWOOD (3 IDIOTS and LIKE STARS ON

Episode 41.1: 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE

Wages of Cinema ·

2016/03/14

So, what is this thing that was sprung on us movie-goers who may have seen the 2008 JJ Abrams produced Cloverfield? Does it have anything to do with that movie? Why is John Goodman wiggling his butt at the jukebox? How big can Mary Elizabeth Winstead's eyes get? Is it any good, in short? On this episode we look at the not-a-sequel-but-"blood-relative" (Abrams words not mine) 10 Cloverfield Lane. (please note that SPOILERS come in at the 23 minute mark and go until minute 31).

What happens when Judy Hopps, a little bunny rabbit, tries to be the first bunny rabbit police officer in the city of Zootopia? Will she be accepted among the much larger/tougher animals such as the predators? How might she interact with foxes, who are not trusted back at the farms where she grew up, and especially when the one she has to team up with is, ahem, sly as one? And will they ever get the line moving at the friggin DMV? Jack and Andrew discuss the new Disney Animated film, its

Wages of Cinema ·

2016/02/15

What makes for a villain in a movie? A good villain, a GREAT villain? Is it how much they snarl? Is it how cool and calm they are? Does monologuing ruin it? And what if they're just in it for the money - can that be enough? We ask and answer the questions - including from one of our listeners - on this main topic on The Wages of Cinema, with some talk especially about Marvel movies and how they compare to villains.

2016/02/01

Needless to say a discussion of the making of George Lucas' STAR WARS (episode 4 a New Hope of course) and the book (a return of our REQUIRED READING segment) written meticulously by JW RINZLER goes into a tangent at one point about Alejandro Jodorowsky's DUNE. But, such is the way of Jack and Andrew at the Wages of Cinema. Hope you enjoy, this was a particularly fun one to record. Any comments, questions, thoughts on the show?

After an opening where Jack and Andrew go between talking about Django Unchained (starting 3:54) and its depiction of slavery and the new rules imposed by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences on voting for movies (because those two topics have so much in common), there's informal talk about movies recently seen. Please note that the SPOILER discussion of THE BOY begin at 52:37 into the recording (and ends at 56:30). Andrew also asks a question that has haunted civilization for years;

"But I never wave bye bye..." Two pop culture icons have left the world this week with the untimely, surprising deaths of David Bowie and Alan Rickman, who have worked in the arts to a point where they made life in Great Britain a wee bit more enjoyable (and the world at large). And with Bowie the loss is felt in the world of cinema almost as much as music (Labyrinth, Last Temptation of Christ, The Prestige, The Hunger, the list goes on). What was your favorite Rickman role?

Welcome to a brand-spanking-new series for 2016: this is called the CINEMA IMMERSION TANK (inspired by the Welcome to the Basement series on YouTube), and in this Jack and Andrew will watch a movie once a day or night five days or nights in a row. How's THAT for commitment! By the end of this we very well may be just that! On this first episode, Jack dives deep into the dark thriller-satire from Brian De Palma at the height of his powers: BLOW OUT starring John Travolta and Nancy Allen.

This week on the Wages of Cinema, we have a looser format (no 2 Minute Movie Mile, but we do get to some new movies that we've seen), and some talk on some things that have happened recently in the world of movies, and to us with movies. To start off with it's a talk about the 2016 Oscar nominations (#Oscarssowhite); the new trailer that was sprung completely by surprise (certainly on Andrew) for 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE; Jack and Andrew talk about one of the worst films ever made, DOUBLE DOWN by Neil
