    Rollerball • The Next Reel

    Rollerball • The Next Reel

    “Game? This wasn’t meant to be a game. Never!”

    James Caan stars as Jonathan E., a legendary athlete in the brutal sport of Rollerball in Norman Jewison’s 1975 dystopian sci-fi thriller. With a screenplay by William Harrison based on his short story, Jewison intended the film as a critique of exploitative sports and their dehumanizing effects. However, audiences were enthralled by the violent future sport depicted. Rollerball entered a crowded field of 1970s dystopian sci-fi, alongside classics like A Clockwork Orange. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the 1976 Hugo Awards Best Dramatic Presentation Nominees series with a conversation about Rollerball.

    Here's a hint at what we talk about:

    We discuss Rollerball as an early example of dystopian sports cinema, designed to make a point about authoritative control. Though we find flaws, like some pacing issues, we agree that Rollerball was prescient in its corporate allegory. We also touch on the fascinating real-world attempts to turn the fictional sport of Rollerball into a reality.

    Here are a few other points in our discussion:

    • The minimalist performance of a subdued James Caan – does it work?
    • John Houseman as the chilling corporate overlord
    • Appreciation for the practical stunt work (and that they recognized it in the credits!)
    • How audiences often miss the point of satirical films
    • The abysmal 2002 remake

    In the end, we find Rollerball an imperfect but thought-provoking 1970s sci-fi film. Despite its uneven pacing, we have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in. The Next Reel – when the movie ends, our conversation begins!

    Before You Go: A Friendly Call with Film Critic Kathleen Carroll

    Before You Go: A Friendly Call with Film Critic Kathleen Carroll

    For our Season 1 finale, we honor the words that often end our show: "Might be time to pick up the phone. There's no time like the present! What a gift." 

    Before You Go co-hosts Nicole Franklin and Bryant Monteilh introduce this episode with the delightful and colorful reviews of Kathleen Carroll as remembered in her book My Life in the Dark. Kathleen is a retired film critic from the New York Daily News who made so many industry friends and connections she decided to bring Hollywood to her hometown of Lake Placid, New York by co-founding the Lake Placid Film Forum.  Nicole's time with Kathleen helped guide her career as an award-winning filmmaker as she took many cues from Kathleen's love of film and networking with legends behind the scenes.  

    We hope this episode reminds everyone that reminiscing with friends could be the most relaxing and rejuvenating part of the day. Thank you for listening to our storytelling series. See you in Season 2!

    Episode 27: Fiddler on the roof (1971)

    Episode 27: Fiddler on the roof (1971)

    "Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as a fiddler on the roof", siger mælkemanden Tevye, der med mange udfordringer forsøger at holde sammen på tilværelsen i det lille jødiske samfund i landsbyen Anatevka.

    Musicalen "Fiddler on the roof" (1971) er instrueret af Norman Jewison med musik af Jerry Bock. Den er baseret på en række fortællinger udgivet i 1894 af den jiddische forfatter Sholem Aleichem. Det er den 27. film på Thomas og Mortens liste over de 100 bedste film.

    Mælkemanden Tevye (Chaim Topol) bor med sin kone Golde (Norma Crane) og deres fem døtre i landsbyen Anatevka, en typisk shtetl i Ukraine. Vi er i begyndelsen af 1900-tallet, hvor antisemitisme og pogromer florerer side om side med den gryende socialistiske revolutionære bevægelse. Tevyes største bekymringer er dog hans døtre, der gifter sig og forelsker sig uden hensyn til de jødiske traditioner.

    Thomas og Morten tager en snak om visdom, ægteskab og bruddet mellem det nye og det gamle.
