Paleo-Cinema Podcast #74 Cast A Deadly Odd Man Out

For numero setenta y cuatro, I look at the 1991 HBO Fantasy Film Noir, Cast A Deadly Spell starring Fred Ward, Julianne Moore and Clancy Brown, then going from gumshoes and witchcraft to the mean streets of Northern Ireland we segue to Carol Reed's 1947 Anglo-Irish film noir, Odd Man Out starring James Mason, Cyril Cusack and Dan O'Herlihy.

Paleo-Cinema Podcast 68 - Pépé, Paris And The Casbah

This time around, one film only which influenced Casablanca, The Third Man and the most romantic character Warner Brothers ever produced. The 1936 (or 1937 depending on the reference book) French romantic drama, Pépé le moko starring Jean Gabin. I also talk about books, floods, drunken actors, The Golden Globes scandal and other things that come up in the voicemails. Enjoy!

Paleo-Cinema Podcast 67 - Seven Days To Innocence

For Paleo-Cinema 67 I have a couple of pleasurable flicks to tell you about. Firstly, a very early film (possibly the first) about nuclear terrorism, the 1950 Boulting Brothers thriller Seven Days To Noon starring Paleo-Cinema favourite, Andre Morell, then up to 1972 for a gritty, forgotten spy movie Innocent Bystanders starring Stanley Baker, Donald Pleasance and Geraldine Chaplin.

 In honour of Aussiecon 4 - the 2010 World Science Fiction convention, this time we're looking at three science fiction movies from the 1950s, 60s and 70s, starting with the 1958 classic, The Fly starring Vincent Price, Herbert Marshall and David Hedison, then moving into the 1965 grooviness of La Decima Vittima, a.k.a. The Tenth Victim starring Marcello Mastroianni and Ursula Andress and into 1973's The Final Programme based on a novel by Michael Moorcock starring Jon Finch, Jenny Runacre and Derrick O'Connor.

Paleo-Cinema Podcast 51 - Tunnels, Secret Nazis and Bad Ponies.

For this one I look at a British WW2 propaganda flick which doubles up as a guerilla warfare manual, Went The Day Well? from 1942 then back to 1935's retro-futuristic The Tunnel and way up to 1987 for David Mamet's movie directorial debut House Of Games.

Paleo-Cinema Podcast #39 Frankenheimer's Paranoia Trilogy. Brainwashing, Coups and Eternal Youth

For Podcast 39 I look at what has been called John Frankenheimer's Paranoia Trilogy, the 1962 film, The Manchurian Candidate, 1964's Seven Days In May and 1966's Seconds. All of the speak to the fears of the time and all have influenced the plots of many subsequent lesser movies. Oddly enough, the zeitgeist fears of the 1960s resemble many of the zeitgeist fears of the Noughties. That's part of the fun of watching old movies: seeing our own lives and times foreshadowed in them.

Paleo-Cinema Podcast 36 - Pilgrims, Magic Sound and The High Price of Immortality

For Podcast 36 I take a look at the Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger WW2 movie A Canterbury Tale from 1944, Jerzy Skolimowski's 1978 creepy supernatural movie The Shout and a lesser known 1973 British Horror film which should become recognised as a proto-steampunk classic, The Asphyx.

Paleo-Cinema Music Podcast #2 Is Coming

Hi freaks and groovers.

This weekend I'll be recording and uploading the second movie/tv music podcast. A few months ago as you'll recall, I threw together some cool paleo-cinematic film tracks that I liked. The response was warm and positive, so I've got together a whole bunch more and they'll be put together with some explanatory narration for your delectation. The regular 'cast will still be up the following week. Consider this one an interstitial treat.

Paleo-Cinema Podcast #34 Don't Call Me Shirley And Julie Andrews' Boobs

Three comedies this time around. Blake Edwards' S.O.B. (yes, the one where Julie Andrews' boobs have a cameo role and Robert Vaughn wears women's undies), Airplane! known in the antipodes as Flying High and the classic golfing comedy Caddyshack. (I'm deliberately ignoring the sequels to the latter two movies). Nothing serious for #34 but just a few chuckles and a look at how a dramatic B-Movie like Zero Hour! can be transformed into a really silly comedy.

Paleo-Cinema Podcast #31 - Child Safe Movies

This time around, I'll be suggesting movies to watch with children.

Not necessarily childrens' films but movies that might generate a passion for cinema in the minds of the young, so they don't grow up to say things like "Rob Schneider Is A Genius" or "I don't like black and white movies, I can't get into them" or other things that would make people doubt the integrity of their genetic structure. I offer this as a public service to the children of the world.*



*Tongue in cheek, of course

Next Week's Paleo-Cinema Podcast

Hi people.

Next week I'm following a suggestion made by my friend Danny Oz and looking at a recommended viewing list of paleo-cinematic movies for children. Not kids films per se, but quality movies that are accessible to children and which will lead them toward a life of appreciating all kinds of movies. Throw me your suggestions if you like and I'll put them into the recipe.

Paleo-Cinema Podcast #28 Making Deals With The Devil - Faust x 3

Okay, in this pre-Easter season we look at three movies about making a deal with the Devil. First off, a baseball fan with a mid-life crisis cuts a contract with Ray Walston in Damn Yankees - only to have Gwen Verdon thrown at him. (They're thinking about remaking this with Jake Gyllenhaal in the Tab Hunter role and Jim Carrey in the Ray Walston one.)

Next we look at the comedy classic, Bedazzled (and if you don't like this movie, you fill me with inertia) and move on to Brian De Palma's rock and roll iteration of Faust, The Phantom of the Opera and The Picture of Dorian Gray, 1974's Phantom of the Paradise.

Paleo-Cinema Podcast #27 Damned Children.

This time I take a look at three movies about lethal children from the early 1960s. The first is Village of the Damned, starring George Sanders and Barbara Shelley. The second is the sequel cum remake of it, Children of the Damned from 1963 starring Ian Hendry and Alan Badel and finally, an unrelated film: Joseph Losey's 1961 (released in 1963) Hammer film (These Are) The Damned. All have lethal children in them, all three take a different approach to the subject.

This time around I'll be looking at three more films. The often forgotten 1948 film noir Road House starring Ida Lupino, Richard Widmark and that old friend of Paleo-Cinema Cornel Wilde, Secret of the Incas starring Charlton Heston, Robert Young and Yma Sumac, and that great victory of style over substance, 1968's The Thomas Crown Affair starring Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway and Paul Burke.

Paleo-Cinema Podcast 25 - The Eurospy Agenda

This time around, I take a look at Eurospy movies - European espionage movies from the 1960s which range from absurd comedies to dark and deadly thrillers, so put on your tux, mix martinis, load your Walther PPK and enjoy!

Paleocinema Podcast 22 - Industrialised Vampires, Lost Civilizations and A Bad Movie About Movies

In this podcast we first look at THIRST, the 1979 Ozploitation vampire movie starring Chantal Contouri, David Hemmings, Henry Silva, Shirley Cameron, Rod Mullinar and Max Phipps.

From there we wind back the clock forty four years and go to a lost kingdom (or should that be queendom?) in the Arctic with the 1935 version of H. Rider Haggard's SHE, starring Randolph Scott and Helen Gahaghan.

Then forward again two years to Frank Capra's three million dollar utopian epic, LOST HORIZON based on James Hilton's novel. This is the good version, not the one where Bobby Van tapdances into a lake to amuse small children.

And finally, THE OSCAR which was as far from winning the award it is named after as I am from winning Miss World. A bad movie, with features of interest.
