Paleo-cinema Podcast #20 - Music, Cars, Media and Politics.

In this podcast I check out the Monkees’ movie, partly written by Jack Nicholson, Head, a rev head car-based action flick that influenced Quentin Tarantino in a big way - Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry and a film from 1957 that has a lot to say about politics and the media right now, A Face In The Crowd.

In this podcast I talk about three manly adventure movies from the 60s and 70s. Charles Bronson’s hitman opus The Mechanic from 1972, and two films about survival in the savage regions of Africa - 1965’s Sands of the Kalahari and 1966’s classic The Naked Prey. I also complete the Alternative Magnificent 7.

Foreshadowing Podcast 18

The movies for the podcast this weekend are: Sands of the Kalahari (1965), The Naked Prey (1965) and The Mechanic (1972). It's going to be a two fisted blokey adventure movie podcast following on last podcast's emphasis on Audrey Hepburn in order to restore the balance of things.

Paleo-Cinema Podcast 17- Breakfast At Scarsdale.

In Podcast 17 I (with the assistance of a co-reviewer - Sal) look at one of the coolest thrillers of 1967, the Terence Young directed Wait Until Dark starring Audrey Hepburn and Alan Arkin.

And a proto-post modern look at Hollywood scriptwriting, alcoholism, stealing the Eiffel Tower, movie producers and why Frankenstein and My Fair Lady are the same thing, 1963's Paris When It Sizzles starring William Holden, Audrey Hepburn and Tony Curtis.


I also do a brief look at the movie Quentin Tarantino's about to remake, Inglorious Bastards.

Foreshadowing the Podcast

Riddle me this, Batman. Which character in a film was described by Stephen King as follows "... may be the greatest evocation of screen villainy ever, rivalling and perhaps surpassing Peter Lorre's in M." When you figure that out, you'll know what one of the movies I'll be talking about in Podcast 17 will be.

Chanson Des Jumelles - foreshadowing for the podcast

Les Demoiselles De Rochefort.

I'm going to talk about this movie in the podcast this weekend, but here's a preview of this weird and wonderful musical directed by Jacques Demy and with music by Michel Legrand. Chanson des Jumelles.





And an amateur lip-synch version of it too:

Alvin Has Been Banished

The Chipmunk Podcast Problem has been solved. Thanks to cerpts for pointing it out. Hopefully it's a non-recurring phenomenon. Now I'm off to watch both the 1946 and the 1964 version of Hemingway's "The Killers" which Umbrella Entertainment have just released locally.

Here it is, numero siete. In this 'cast, I look at the first of my own personal Magnificent Seven action heroes pre-1980, examine The Big Combo, a kick-arse film noir from the 1950s and as a guilty and naughty pleasure, examine the 1975 or 1976 porn version of Alice In Wonderland, then end with a brief spiel about the movies I've watched since the start of 2008.
