2015/06/08

It's 2015. Let that sink in. We're living IN THE FUTURE! And it's the year where if you go back 100 years you get the first milestone(s) in cinema history. So with that in mind we at the Wages of Cinema take a look at a movie that made a year in history stand out ending in 0 or 5 (i.e. 1975, 1950, 2000, etc). What did we pick? You'll have to listen and take a trip in our goofy-looking car of a podcast! we Now have an EMAIL address! wagesofcinema@gmail.com - send us any questions, comments,

And now for that image of the Sad face and the smiley face that one often sees as the cliche in theater - Italian Neo-Realism at its most striped down and masterful, and Hollywood escapism as its most ebullient. Isn't this what cinema can do, folks? Andrew goes back for more Vittorio De Sica, while Jack finally sees one of Andrew's favorite films (previously talked about in episode 1 of this show). Vittorio De Sica's UMBERTO D Michael Curtiz and William Keighley's THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN

Episode 17 will be in part about what is fun, funny and exciting, and what is dark and depressing. All about the human condition as usual on the Wages of Cinema podcast! On the Two-Minute Movie Mile, where Jack and Andrew each get two minutes to talk about their recent movie-viewing experiences, we got all-time classics, another look at an experimental short, and that one movie The Departed was based on: THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS - TOP SECRET - THE PEOPLE VS PAUL CRUMP - MONTY PYTHON'S LIFE OF

I could copy and paste from her IMDb biography, but then why even bother with talking with the super lovely and talented Adele Dazeem? Wait, wrong teleprompter damnit! Seriously, this is the one and only SARAH SEEDS, an actress, producer and writer originally from Baltimore - and other points South, which we talk about - and how she fell in love with acting at the age of 3(!) and has gone on to become a rising figure in comedy and dramas, from shorts, webseries, improv, and indie features,

Episode 16.3: WOMEN in ACTION

Wages of Cinema ·

2015/06/02

Because Mad Max Fury Road won't leave our heads - and because of how much Charlize Theron kicked our asses up and down the wastelands - we'd like to take a look at some of the major action heroes (or is it heroines, will that be something that can be clarified) including the likes of Pam Grier's characters, Ellen Ripley, Sarah Connor, Beatrix Kiddo and many more. Also, the question comes up for Jack: what IS an action hero for women? Does Catwoman count? Subscribe to us on iTunes and visit us

Meanwhile, Andrew checks out Kurosawa-san's 1952 existential masterpiece IKIRU.

Take me, I am the hallucinogenic." - Salvador Dali In case you don't know who people like Bunuel, Dali, David Lynch, Jan Svankmajer, Guy Maddin, Maya Deren or others are... soon you will...

We don't ever want to short-change you folks. That's why when we do a recording, we don't have just one auteur, but TWO, that's TWO AUTEURS! (ah-ah-ah says the Count). In one corner, a Swedish export that has galvanized art-houses for almost 50 years, and the film where Ingmar Bergman decided to just say 'f*** it' and do whatever he felt like doing. Did Andrew 'get it'? What's not to get about two of the greatest actresses, Liv Ullmann and Bibi Andersson? In the other corner, Hollywood doing

Another day, another time where Jack and Andrew talk about a whole swarth of movies. In this collection there's some new ones like Alex Garland's directing debut Ex Machina, and the latest from Quentin Dupiex called 'Reality'. A focus is on surreal movies, and we'll be getting into that in the main segment. And Jack sees an Iranian feminist vampire hipster spaghetti western shot in black and white. Whew!

We finally return to a segment we started a couple months ago (sorry for the delay) called 'Local Vocal', where Jack interviews local filmmakers, actors, artists, etc (as of now around NYC/tri-state area). On this second episode, the subject is MATT STEINER. Matt is an actor who has done some movies and TV pilot projects - one of the big ones currently making the rounds is LOSERS - but his passion and pride comes with THE REPRESENTATIVES, a theater project done with Stan Richardson where they

Perhaps some day it will be a Vs. and it'll be about the year we spent as podcasters... This week Jack and Andrew look at a box-office hit from 1984, and the film that many say defined "Neo-Realism" in post WW2 Italy: John G.

Who knows) LOTS of movies to talk about, but first Jack and Andrew spend the opening talking about the recent trailers for Star Wars & Batman v Superman - not so much the content as the entire air of expectations when it comes to such events.

And now for a GIGANTIC Summer Movie Preview for 2015. Primarily we're going over the big movies that'll be hitting, though one or two smaller choices will peek their heads in (i.e. right as we're in the midst of talking new Dinosaur and Pixar movies, we got a Jonathan Demme movie to look at). There are a TON of movies discussed here, at length or in brief, including a brief (but passionate) diatribe from Andrew about... John Green?

Welcome back to the Wages of Cinema, and this week we're trying something new, an experiment which, if it works, we may keep as a regular segment. It's called the 2-Minute Movie Mile (or as Jack calls it the 2-Minute Dash, but Andrew's title is probably better). The hosts each have two minutes to talk about the movies they've seen in the past two weeks. 2 fast, 2 furious you might say? Eh... not a good example. The movies this week are many, and it's a race against the clock to talk about

Jack does a 'horror block' and looks at a new independent horror thriller, the 'latest' (as of 5 years ago) by John Carpenter, and a classic 1982 'Giallo' by Dario Argento. Then Jack AND Andrew talk about the movie that has been pointed to as kicking off much of the horror we see today. From Detroit to Rome to Texas, strap in for some
