Episode 29.2: The List - BRAZIL & VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED

Wages of Cinema ·

2015/10/26

So, we want to talk to you today about ducts. And children. Do your ducts have children in them? No wait, let's start over. Simple enough: Andrew watched Terry Gilliam's take on Orwell, Kafka and nightmares of the modern world, and Jack watched the adaptation of John Wyndham's 'The Midwich Cuckoo's'. 1) Terry Gilliam's BRAZIL (1985) 2) Wolf Rilla's VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED (1960)

So, let's get back to what we love talking about - MOVICINEFILMOGRAPHIA! Sorry, we sometimes do make up words... First, the guys start off with a discussion on the 3rd (and final) Star Wars trailer for Episode 7, and other episodes and their special editions. Then it's time for the 2 minute movie mile, where Jack and Andrew talk about the films they've seen in the past two weeks - some new releases from acclaimed/award-winning auteurs, horror movies that are obscure and well-regarded (and not),

Local Vocal is happy to present our first conversation with a published author! This being Matthew Catania, who's first novel, THE DOLOROUS ADVENTURE OF BROTHER BANENOSE, has been published and is now available via Booktrope publishing. Listen as we talk with Matthew (who you may have previously heard on Episode 13)about the influence of The Name of the Rose and Rocky & Bullwinkle, Monty Python, the joys of absurdity in writing, researching friars and monks (in books, not through time travel in

Episode 28.4: OVERRATED HORROR

Wages of Cinema ·

2015/10/14

What makes a horror movie 'overrated'? Or any movie, for that matter? Expectations? Hype? The general audience consensus seems to be a big part of it. Also, what happens when years pass after watching a movie, and you feel different about it and it may not hold up well over time. On this episode, Jack and Andrew discuss a group of horror movies - from classic Universal to Italian Giallo and the slasher movies that made the 80's - and taking down some big sacred cows is the name of the game in

Episode 28.3: The List - THE INNOCENTS & FITZCARRALDO

Wages of Cinema ·

2015/10/13

This week on this episode of 'The List', Jack and Andrew ask some important questions of their movies. Such as: are all British children creepy? Is Klaus Kinski the most intense actor in the history of cinema? What does sex have to do with the Governess Miss Giddens and the little boy Miles? Did these native people in South America work for scale? What does it mean to really frighten and to really inspire some sense of awe? Also, Herzog, tell us how you REALLY feel about the jungle. Hmm?

LOTS of horror talked here, in large part by Jack, and ranging from new releases to classics (Karloff, Corman, Michael Powell and John Landis on this one) and obscurities by well-known directors, plus two documentaries and an entry from the good ol' folks from Tromaville, New Jersey. (Oh, and there's Belle de Jour as well - not a horror movie, but what can you do, it was in the block!)

Jack and Andrew first talk about the fact that this is Columbus Day (that this was recorded on) and why there aren't more movies about this Columbus guy, then a brief discussion about a recent screening of Rifftrax's MIAMI CONNECTION (which they previously saw for 2MMM). Then on to the movies, with largely new titles and two action classics from John Woo. Stay tuned for part 2, with a block of HORROR MOVIES (It is October, duh).

Local Vocal #7.2: STAN RICHARDSON

2015/10/11

And now for part 2 of the continuing series with THE REPRESENTATIVES – now with the man behind the page of all the plays, STAN RICHARDSON. Who is Stan? How does he write so many plays – and get them produced – each year? How did he meet and become a pupil of Edward Albee? Jack talks with Stan about this and more; the effects of politics and current events on plays; Twin Peaks and serial killers; why Missouri is called the ‘Show Me’ state; working with Matt Steiner (our guest on episode 2); and,

Local Vocal #7.1: VERITAS (w/The Reps - MATT & STAN)

Wages of Cinema ·

2015/10/11

If you heard episode 2 of the Local Vocal series with actor and director Matt Steiner, then you heard about the theater group THE REPRESENTATIVES. To say their productions are unconventional is putting it lightly, as the masterminds behind the group, Steiner and playwright/director/producer Stan Richardson, create three productions (at least) a year, often combining multi-media – film and special audio techniques – and involve and challenge audiences whenever they perform. But now with VERITAS,

You may be at a podcast called the Wages of Cinema but, you might ask, what sort of ‘wages?’ Can they buy you sex? How about the sex comes free? Maybe you’re a perv and should go away some place else! Maybe we’ll throw in a sandwich on the way out… Ok, strange intro. How about… back in February, Jack and Andrew had a discussion about SEX in cinema. We return with another discussion about this, but only this time we also have the return of REQUIRED READING.

The LIST this week gets epic. How epic? Two films that altogether run a total of 3 ½ hours (maybe longer), and have a connecting thread: two historical films about figures you may have heard of (or not, as case might be), and both directed not only by actors, but the actors in question – Richard Attenborough and Warren Beatty – won Oscars in back-to-back years for their long-gestated triumphs (it took more or less 15 years a-piece to produce the films).

It only took 26 episodes (give or take a few), but Jack Gattanella and Andrew Birchenough present their very first LIVE presentation! Here's a question: what are THE important animated movies ever made? Or more specifically, how many came from Walt Disney studios alone? Are they only for kids - what about adults? Over the course of an hour (and then some), Jack and Andrew look to find the 10 (really 11) feature films that have changed the medium of animation forever - from silent-era Germany, to

Sure, it's the Wages of Cinema - but we have a limit for our 'cins', right? Long ago, when young men wore flannel and young women were catching up on episodes of My So-Called Life, people could walk into a theater, pay the $5, and get the crap knocked out of them by seeing something they hadn’t seen before – such as, in 1995, a serial killer movie that had a grisly, nasty, dark-black-brown-hued vision of hell, with a surprise actor in the last act, and stars Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt making

Two men know what they want out of life. One will become a major league baseball player – a rookie at the age of 40 – and defy any odds to be nearly the greatest the game ever saw – and the other will become an obsessive over intelligent life off the Earth that’s come to seek him (and others) out, and he may just have to go to them at the rendezvous point. Oh, and both characters are named Roy. Aside from that, not too much in common with these two films, except that they do get the spirits

Snakes. Monkey Brains. Giant Bugs. Crocodiles. Rats. Sean Connery. What do all these things have in common? They were all on the set for director Steven Spielberg’s constant, undivided amusement! (Well, duh). In this mini-episode, culled from the 2MMM, Jack and Andrew see all three films from when Spielberg and Lucas decided to get together and play in 1930’s Saturday matinee/James Bond style sandbox.

Before the intrepid hosts get into the Two-Minute Movie-Mile, Andrew is upset about Pacific Rim 2 being shelved indefinitely, and Jack recounts his trip to Retro Con in Oaks, PA, and his purchase of an unusual NES (movie-related) game from 1986. Then, the movies on tap for this week are… dominated by Jack, who else, but there’s some good talk for animation (80’s robot action, Spielberg mo-cap and Disney classics abound), a faith-based nightmare, and movies featuring Oscar-winners, tragic deaths

Ingrid Bergman. Immediately you'll think of a scene set in the fog outside of an airplane, where Laszlo is about to get on a plane - but beautiful Ilsa will be getting on there too, all because Rick has to give up what he's had, once again, and... of course it's one of THE noble gestures in cinema. Casablanca, often called the greatest Hollywood film, was something that Bergman didn't find that compelling as she made it. What movie was she more excited about to make at the time?

The two hosts come together to talk about a film they watched together: Walt Disney's first feature film (and the first ever in animation with synchronized sound). Movies: STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON - BOYZ N THE HOOD - THE END OF THE TOUR - SHAUN THE SHEEP - AMERICAN ULTRA - PAPILLON - CASINO JACK - GASLIGHT (1944) -
