    54 - צ'ארלי ווריק | Charley Varrick | ד"ר שמוליק דובדבני

    54 - צ'ארלי ווריק | Charley Varrick | ד"ר שמוליק דובדבני
    אחרון העצמאיים הוא המוטו של שודד הבנקים המיומן והמזדקן צ'ארלי ווריק. זהו מוטו שגם הולם - ולא במקרה - את דון סיגל הבמאי האגדי של הסרט. לא ניתן לטעות בסוג הגיבורים שממלאים את הפילמוגרפיה הענפה של סיגל - גיבור שהוא בדרך כלל הגבר שבגברים, אינדיבידואליסט קיצוני וציני עשוי ללא חת שאינו מוצא את מקומו בחברה ולא סומך על אף אחד מלבד עצמו. אך בו זמנית גיבוריו תמיד ניצבים בפני איום ושבר קיומי פנימי וחיצוני שמעמת אותם הן עם חרדות מודחקות היטב והן עם ערכיהם החקוקים בברזל שמועמדים למבחנים לא פשוטים. וכל אלו מעורבים כמובן עם העשייה הקולנועית הקינטית, מלאת האדרנלין והאקשן המשובח. לצורך הדיון על סיגל חוזר אלינו חברנו יקיר הפודקאסט הד"ר שמוליק דובדבני, או מבקר הקולנוע של YNET בשבילכם וגם מורה יקר ואהוב בשבילנו (וכנראה שגם עבור כמה וכמה מהמאזינות והמאזינים). גילי לצערנו לא הרגישה טוב, ואנחנו מקווים ששני מילא את מקומה בצורה ראויה (אם לא נשמח לתלונות רשמיות בפרטי!). בואו לשמוע אותם מדברים על במאי ששניהם אוהבים מאוד, ועל דמותו של צ'ארלי ווריק ומדוע הוא בעצם מעין קינה מלנכולית ומשעשעת כאחד לסוג של גיבורים בקולנוע האמריקאי שכבר לא ישובו יותר. עריכת סאונד: אמיר גלמן

    Communicating Fears in Film, The Return!: "They Live" and "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"

    Communicating Fears in Film, The Return!: "They Live" and "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"

    October is upon us! With scary movie season under way we're returning to our "Communicating Fears in Film" theme all month long. To kick off our specialty programming this spooky season, host Garret Castleberry is joined by Scott McMurry to dissect a pair of science fiction horror films that strike at fears relating to identity and duplicity. In the spirit of last year's "The Thing from Another World/The Thing" double-feature, Special Topics  revels in dualisms featuring the work of director John Carpenter. Garret and Scott first introduce Carpenter's cult film They Live (1988) before winding back the "Invasion movie" clock to assess the film's relationship to Don Siegel's 1956 classic, Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The dialogic duo resurrect their "Communicating Fears in Film" methodology, including presence versus absence, imitation versus innovation, and the centrality of understanding cultural context, before introducing their newest layer of analytic discourse, filmic echoes.

    Hosts: Garret Castleberry, Scott McMurry

    Producers: Garret Castleberry, Will McMurry (Audio Engineer), Alli Garner (Cover Art), Austin Foster (Music)

    Escape from Alcatraz

    Escape from Alcatraz

    Ryan got very excited when a Don Siegel film he watched had a fairly evident full-frontal moment in the first 7 minutes of the film. His love of 50's, 60's and 70's American cinema cannot be understated as this "historically" focused episode tracks the interesting facts about Alcatraz Prison and the true story this film follows. 

    Yeah, we've done something a bit different here, covering the 1979 action-adventure movie ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ, starring male archetype Clint Eastwood and host of other classic character actors of the time. We recently went to San Fransisco and visited the island so watching the film with actual geographical knowledge and a sense of the conditions of the prison really set a sense eeriness and familiarity we weren't expecting. I mean, this episode could easily be an advertisement for how cool and interesting that place is so sit back, enjoy our holiday snaps and videos and watch Clint stuff a bar of soap down a man's throat for only wanting his puddin'. 

    (In Clint voice) "How about you show me what you got?"

    A Book Review of Quentin Tarantino's "Cinema Speculation"

    A Book Review of Quentin Tarantino's "Cinema Speculation"
    Quentin Tarantino wrote a book! I read it and talked about it for a half an hour. Mostly off the dome but I had some notes and stuff. Remind me to write more but I just recorded the podcast. It's a half hour of me talking by myself. Give me a break! Hahaha update I consistently get the title wrong. It's cinema speculation not speculations. There's only one speculation. It's singular. My bad. So the book is Cinema Speculation and here's.a link to buy it (https://bookshop.org/p/books/cinema-speculation-quentin-tarantino/18273113?ean=9780063112582) in case that's something that appeals to you. Also, I say book a couple times when I mean movie and vice versa. A little embarassing but I'm not going to re-record the whole thing because of that. I think I set myself up for a fall by critiquing someone else for sloppiness. So let this be a lesson about pointing fingers. Or don't. Who cares. Also, the factual error I allude to but forget to flesh out is that he calls Brian De Palma's Obsession a flop but it actually made $4 million, which was healthy box office for the time. But after my blunder with the pluralization of the title, who am I to judge? Glass-house living motherfucker. LOL.
