Jack and Andrew are the hosts, and we talk about new movies, classics, cult work, things we"ve seen and have never seen, special segments about directors and styles and trends, and "Required Reading" which is about movie books.

Now we come to the end of an experiment in filling up some big gaps in our movie-viewing, and Jack and Andrew reflect on the best, worst and 'meh' of the films they watched in 2015 as part of this adventure in cinema. wagesofcinema@gmail.com Song is by Syd Vallentine

We come to the end, and what better way to finish off this 2015 year LIST series with two movies for children... sort of. But at any rate, it's Dr. Seuss and Studio Ghibli, so hopefully it'll get some ears perked up, with a cult classic and an actual modern classic. 1) Dr. Seuss' THE 5,000 FINGERS OF DR. T (1953) 2) Hayao Miazaki's PRINCESS MONONOKE (1997)

A new year, and some new (and old) films! But first, we can't get away from it (and we saw it again), so THE FORCE AWAKENS is talked about. Then at 13 minutes in we get into the Two Minute Movie Mile, with films by great French directors (Melville, Bresson, Malle), some superb but depressing tales about real-world issues (the economy, abortion, romance in the closet), and of course Capra. 1) KRAMPUS (2015) 2) IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946) (again) 3) THE BIG SHORT (2015) 4) MURMUR OF THE HEART

2016/01/01

HAPPY NEW YEAR! New logo, new review podcast! For such an event as the 8TH FILM BY QUENTIN TARANTINO (and not unlike Fellini he makes sure to have the number of films in the title gosh darnit), the Wages of Cinema makes sure to give you some extra podcast bang for your (free for now) buck with our longest talk about a single film yet. We talk about the movie, 70mm, westerns, Ennio Morricone - there IS a spoiler section about halfway through, and it's marked off for your safety - and just how

Well, what else did you expect? We look at the first Star Wars film in ten years and the first to not have George Lucas involved in the principle production. Oh and SPOILERS OF COURSE DON'T LISTEN UNTIL YOU WATCH THE MOVIE PLEASE FOR THE OF YODA! Oh, and Jack's wife Korey (who you may have heard before on the Avengers: Age of Ultron review) gives her thoughts on Chewbacca and wookies in general about 40 minutes in. You've been warned. Seriously, it's not pretty. If you agree or disagree

2015/12/21

Welcome back to the 90's, when you could go to a place like AUSTIN, TEXAS or GROSSE POINTE, MICHIGAN and have an interesting sense of, uh, community you could say. In the two films this week we look at one landmark American independent film and one very good middle-budget American comedy (with some action) and see what they may or may not have in common, and if they still work today. Oh, and before the talk Jack tells of the fun and excitement of a Jewish wedding. For... reasons. 1) SLACKER

Sometimes when you go for making something BIG and BOLD it works, and sometimes it just doesn't. Like, at all. And no matter how much money you throw at it it won't turn out good. Or, no matter how much money you have to keep sinking into your passion, the core of what makes it work will always work. Thus we come to the first (and only) documentary on 'THE LIST', and that other time right after Die Hard that Bruce Willis took a massive doody at the box office. 1) Michael Lehmann's HUDSON HAWK

When you're a storyteller, it helps more than anything to know the tools you're going to use and always use them to their utmost capabilities. Whether it's choreographing laser-sword fights (not lightsaber, that's copyrighted apparently), putting someone into deep space (with some painterly inspiration believe it or not), or letting an actor go off about a dream he/she had the night before, Carlos del Rosario is interested in making comedy and dramatic films, infused with popular culture from

"In the not too distant future..." (you know how it goes) How has this show, which lasted for over 10 years on Comedy Central and the Sci-Fi Channel in the United States change pop culture? How has making fun of the schlockiest of schlock changed how we look at movies in general? Can we ever deal with the fact that Manos: The Hands of Fate translates to 'Hands: The Hands of Fate'? Or how absolutely god-Awful Monster A-Go-Go is? Is it almost ironically cruel (or ironic or cruel on its own) that

What do the hottest day of the summer in Brooklyn and the final night for polite (but some homicidal) Canadians have in common? Is a guy who announces that the gas will stay on in a calm, direct voice have a connection with Mr. Senior Love-Daddy? How funny can things like race and the apocalypse be? What is the process of things ESCALATING in this world? These questions and more are pondered by Jack and Andrew as they look at two films by auteurs, one celebrated as an iconic film, and the other

Before the 2MMM, we talk about some comments regarding our previous 'List' episode and what we (or Jack) got wrong with the Man for All Seasons Christian-mythology. With the Two Minute Movie Mile, Jack sees a lot of new movies (plus two maybe not-so-great Nicolas Cage ones), and Andrew watches a Lucio Fulci movie and a Spike Jonze movie and... not too much else (it's one of those months with little time). Oh, and things like Nathan Fillion in a non-sci-fi and Tippi Hedren getting (almost) eaten

What makes for a spy movie? Does it just have to have SPIES, or do they have to be, you know, DOING things? Like espionage or missions or in total intrigue? Is NORTH BY NORTHWEST a spy movie? What about Argo? Captain America: The Winter Soldier? And what was up with Hitchcock adapting Sabotage from the novel The Secret Agent but not adapting The Secret Agent from some book called Sabotage (we're sure there's one out there)?

How does one live a moral life? What does God have to do with how you live? Do you say what the Almighty says? What if there is no God... but just in case there is, you may want to take care - whether that's believing (or not) in divorce and the sanctity of the Pope, or killing someone, or working with Alan Alda (remember, if it BENDS, it's funny - if it BREAKS, it's NOT funny!)

We get right into it with the movie this week, as there have been a LOT to talk about: new releases go really to Jack and Andrew talks some horror (as Jack does too, this was covering the last week of October, after all), but then some animation (of varying qualities), a documentary about a making-of movie, the weirdest time travel movie ever, two or three French films (viva la France!) including one more dip into Luis Bunuel, and Jack and Andrew share their thoughts on one of the biggest bombs in

Sometimes you can't just limit yourself to one thing - and we don't just mean by just being an actress or a singer or musical performer or a cosplayer or costume designer or (hopefully soon) writer... no, we mean that if you have a Facebook page for yourself, you go all out and put ACTOR-SINGER-NERD right in the title, as Miss Maya Murphy does on her page (link below). Maya is a woman of many hats, and sometimes swords and eye-shadows and outfits, and if she can sign a song and be on a stage,

Episode 29.3: What is HORROR?

2015/10/26

What is a 'horror' film? How do you define what horrific means, or what the style is or tropes? What characters make up a horror movie? Can a horror movie be a war film, or visa-versa? How does comedy work into it, if it can? Have certain characters dated over time? And what about that Cloverfield monster tickles Andrew so much? Is tickles the right word? This may seem like a far-reaching and broad topic, but on The Wages of Cinema we dare to look at such a topic in 45 minutes and see what
