Wages of Cinema

Jack Gattanella

A podcast that is practically all about MOVIES! Cinema, films, celluloid, digital, whatever you want to call it. 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. And the "Local Vocal" series gives you in-depth interviews with NYC/NJ based filmmakers, actors, artists and musicians.

Episode 10.3: 'The List' - POLTERGEIST & ALL ABOUT EVE

Wages of Cinema ·

2015/04/06

Because at the Wages of Cinema we are all about redundancy, Andrew talks about ALL ABOUT EVE again, which he did on a previous episode (see: "DAVIS" for reference), and expounds on some things he neglected to mention. But before that, Jack gets into the Spielberg-cum-Hooper collaboration from 1982 POLTERGEIST (another of those movies that's sadly being remade for, you know, money reasons, but we digress). (clips from the trailer of former and film of latter respectively used respectfull)

Episode 10.2: MURDERS, HOOD, ARMY & EMPIRE...

2015/04/06

In other words, VIOLENCE! In forms of satire, documentary, mediocre blockbusters (and OUTLAW!), and Eva Green sex scenes. 1) LITTLE MURDERS (1971) 2) ROBIN HOOD (2010) (about 12 mins in) 3) RED ARMY (2015) (about 25 mins in) 4) 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE (2014) (somewhere after) (featuring clips from Murders, Hood & 300, but not Red Army)

Episode 10.1: MAD LOVE - THE HOMESMAN - UNDER THE SKIN

Wages of Cinema ·

2015/04/02

Wow, what a mix to start off our 10th episode (1st segment): a tale of obsessive-deranged love, a dangerous quest across the frontier, and black goo that eats up men's erections.... But hey, we got a horror, a western, AND a sc-fi, it's a whole pulp selection. Did we mention the erections? Yep. Also, Andrew talks about his Welcome to the Basement card, and we go off about Peter Lorre for a bit. Clips are from the films above. 1) Mad Love (1935) 2) The Homesman (2014) 3) Under the Skin

Episode 9.4: A Long Day's Journey into RIDLEY SCOTT

Wages of Cinema ·

2015/03/27

Jack and Andrew, mostly Andrew, have a bone to pick with Ridley "Rid" Scott. The director of several iconic and award-winning films - Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, American Gangster, The Duellists (this one Jack just watched) - and rather unwieldy flops - Legend, The Counselor, 1492 - is looked at in a long retrospective. We really get into it, folks, the good-the-bad-and-the-ho-hum. (featuring clips from Ridley Scott interviews and music by Vangelis)

Episode 9.3: 'The List' - FEARLESS & ROPE

Wages of Cinema ·

2015/03/25

How does one face continuing to live after not dying? And how does one live with oneself after committing an act of murder? What is life, as George Harrison once sang(?) On this episode, Jack and Andrew explore life and death with those towering-great-who-doesn't-love-em stars Jeff Bridges and Jimmy Stewart in Peter Weir's underrated 1993 drama FEARLESS and the "all-in-one-shot" (but not really) Hitchcock thriller ROPE from 1948.

We at the Wages of Cinema try to get the largest swath of film history. So right here, right now, you get a full buffet of film history just under an hour! From somber costume drama to deadpan studio comedy to documentaries on rock & roll nightmares & the creepy rich to English Opera - and lest not forget that gun-toting wildman John Milius - we got em all! Also a tribute to the late documentarian Albert Maysles included. 1) Tess (1979) 2) Addams Family Values (1993) 3) DOC BLOCK: Milius

Jack and Andrew ponder movies once more, but not until they do some imitations of Bruce Springsteen and snap their fingers... And what a crop, at least for this first segment: 1) Run All Night 2) The Lazarus Effect 3) Chappie 4) Lovelace (clips from all films used, under fair use)

Local Vocal #1 - GABE RODRIGUEZ (Pt. 2)

Wages of Cinema ·

2015/03/19

In part 2 of our conversation with filmmaker Gabe Rodriguez, we go from the features to the... shorts? How does that work? With a great degree of imagination into the realms of comedy, tragedy, time travel and situations not unlike the cartoon 'Duck Amuck'. Gabe is the director of shorts SUSIE IN THE AFTERLIFE, Q TO THE 6 TRAIN, HAVANA IN BUSHWICK and GODDESS OF TIME - all of which are discussed here. (Clips from all are featured with permission). He also has a blog - which was (sadly)

Wages of Cinema ·

2015/03/18

And now for a new segment of the Wages of Cinema - Local Vocal! This is a new series that we are trying where Jack will be interviewing local filmmakers, actors, artists and even musicians about their life and work up to this point - in short, shining a light on some people working in the creative world who you should know about. First up is Gabe Rodriguez, a New York filmmaker with shorts, features, and (as of late) music videos! In this part one, we talk about Gabe growing up in suburban New

Episode 8.3: 'The List' - DETOUR & THE ROCKETEER

Wages of Cinema ·

2015/03/11

This week on our continuing tracking of films on our respective New Year's lists of things to see in 2015, Andrew gets deep into the world of 'Film-Black' (scuse me, noir for the French), and Jack finally watches a 90's Disney blockbuster that's been somewhat (unjustly) forgotten over time. 1) Edgar Ullmer's DETOUR 2) Joe Johnston's THE ROCKETEER (25 mins in) (Correction, obviously, it's *Edgar* not *Edward* Ullmer, as is mistakenly said in the podcast)

Wages of Cinema ·

2015/03/11

Once again, we are nothing if not eclectic. So here, a talk on Compulsion starring Orson Welles and Dean Stockwell features an imitation of Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet, a discussion on voice acting amid the 2010 blockbuster MEGAMIND, Donald Duck almost kills himself in a segment on WW2 shorts he starred in, and James McAvoy in Filth gives way to an anecdote about Deviant Art.... Come to think of it, this segment's kind of crazy. 1) Compulsion (1959) 2) Megamind 3) Donald Duck: An Officer and a

Wages of Cinema ·

Welcome back! We take you into (briefly) some almost-shelved comedy-horror hijinks, a best picture Oscar winner which Jack loves (mostly), and an HBO movie about Jack Kevorkian starring Al Pacino. 1) Knights of Badassdom 2) The Best Years of Our Lives (7 mins in) 3) You Don't Know Jack (24 mins in)

Episode 7.5: SEX (A Movie Discussion)

Wages of Cinema ·

2015/02/27

Let's get dirty.... In a frank and hopefully insightful discourse on sexual relations in the cinematic landscape. Or something. Jack and Andrew now finally look at 50 Shades of Grey, which... neither of us have seen yet, but we've read and heard a lot about it, so maybe that's something. But we look at that film - which is currently topping box-offices worldwide and has an R-rating in the USA - and in relation to that the world of eroticism in cinema, from the old masters (Bunuel, Kubrick) to

What's this? Moonstruck? AGAIN!? We did that on the first episode, you say. Well, Jack didn't see it and it was on 'The List', the movies that Jack and Andrew are watching from beginning to year's end that the other has seen and the one reviewing hasn't. So Jack watches it, there's talk of Nicolas Cage and John Patrick Shanley, and the Andrew waxes not-too-poetic about Mr. Smith. Oh, and a movie called The Hitler Gang is brought up. Yeah... Listen to this. (Clips of films used under fair

2015/02/26

And because we're all about redundancy (if that's the word), here is a LIGHTNING ROUND of films that Jack saw that were up for the 87th Academy awards; none of them won what they were nominated for, but they also screened last year at the Cannes Film Festival, where they all picked up various prizes. 1) Mr. Turner 2) Timbuktu 3) The Salt of the Earth Song at the end: The Rolling Stones - Salt of the Earth Also - Please make sure to check out the scene this clip goes with for full visual effect

2015/02/26

This may seem like quite the combination, but here at the Wages of Cinema we like putting our movies together like a warped smoothie - in this case it's full of machismo, gay rights, and that classic screwball couple from the 1930's your mom (and Jack) loves) So here we have a block of more Myrna Loy & William Powell movies, Andrew watches The Dirty Dozen, Jack gets hooked up with another Vaughn/Millar comic book flick, and both hosts get into a discussion on Gus van Sant's Oscar-winning 2008 film

Bet you never heard this combination walk into a bar at once, eh? This week we have more movies of both new(ish) and classic varieties. We also start off the show addressing something we forgot to mention in our talk on the Lopez underground classic The Boy Next Door, and then get into the following: 1) Jupiter Ascending (6:00) 2) Snowpiercer (20:35) 3) Point Blank (1967) (38:40) 4) All About Eve (1950) (45;20) Clips from the first three films & trailers featured, also the 'Eve; score by Alfred

Jack and Andrew talk about their next couple of films from their respective lists (of movies to see over the year) and dig into classic 1930's Hollywood: for Andrew it's Lloyd Bacon and Busby Berkeley's 42nd Street and for Jack it's the Dashiell Hammett adaptation, The Thin Man.
