His next attempt is 1977’s TO KILL WITH INTRIGUE, an often baffling revenge film featuring Hsu Feng as a memorably sadistic villain who falls in love with Jackie’s Lei Shao-feng! There’s plenty of oth...

Episode 71 – JodoWOWsky Part 3 – The Holy Mountain (1973) 07.06.2021 2:26:30

RSS / iTunes / Spotify Nothing in your education or experience could prepare you for Alejandro Jodorowsky’s THE HOLY MOUNTAIN and on this episode of JodoWOWsky we’re going long on one of the strangest, most unique, most transformative films ever made. We start by discussing Jodorowsky’s career post-El Topo and the preparation for – and influences on – THE HOLY MOUNTAI...

CHECK IT OUT! This episode’s guest is...

Episode 68 – Forgotten Gems? – Central Station (1998) 17.05.2021 41:56

RSS / iTunes / Spotify After that last episode of FORGOTTEN GEMS? we were feeling a little down, so to pick up our spirits we decided to watch a film that is only PARTIALLY miserable: the Golden Bear winning Brazilian-French film CENTRAL STATION from 1998. Featuring death, despair, and – rather improbably – hope, it includes an incredible (and Academy Award nominated) performance from...

Episode 67 – Praising Kane – Annie Hall (1977) 10.05.2021 1:04:03

RSS / iTunes / Spotify Well, here’s something a bit different. We were both dreading having to talk about ANNIE HALL on the latest episode of PRAISING KANE (Liam even wanted to skip this episode entirely), so instead, we spend the first half of the episode talking about why we almost skipped it (yes, it’s because of Woody Allen), our frustrations with separating art from artist, and ho...

We talk about 80’s nostalgia, the film’s often-criticized third act,...

The first film takes a documentary approach to a real-life incident that took place in Milan, Italy in 1967 w...

Episode 61 – Whatever Happened to Vic Diaz? – Savage Sisters (1974) 29.03.2021 45:38

RSS / iTunes / Spotify Beware! They are still at large! On this episode of WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VIC DIAZ it’s 1974’s SAVAGE SISTERS, a wonderfully cartoonish (sorta) women-in-prison film full of outrageous humor, double crossing and – of course Vic Diaz as ONE EYE. Gloria Hendry, Cheri Caffaro and Rosanna Ortiz play the titular characters, with Sid Haig, Eddie Garcia and John Ash...

Episode 60 – Forgotten Gems? – Bye Bye Monkey (1978) 22.03.2021 48:00

RSS / iTunes / Spotify On this episode of FORGOTTEN GEMS? we’re looking at the winner of the 1978 Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize, Marco Ferreri’s BYE BYE MONKEY (aka CIAO MASCHIO) starring Gerard Depardieu!
