Ep 37Best English Language Foreign Film: The Ruling Class

E

This is the second film by Peter Medak we've reviewed for the podcast, and this blows the other one out of the water. An upper class aristocrat inherits his family's peerage, despite having schizophrenia. A completely unchained Peter O'Toole lights up the screen and fills every frame with insanity.Theme Music "A Movie I'd Like to See" by Al Harley.

Ep 36Angry in a Good Way: Promising Young Woman

E

This film's title references from the infamous Brock Turner case - the Stanford University student who raped and assaulted an unconscious female student behind a dumpster at a fraternity party. Much was made at the time of Turner's promising future as a swimmer. As his father said in a much publicized court letter, why should his son's life be "deeply altered" for "20 minutes of action"?This film poses the question: Why are we willing to sacrifice promising young women for promising young men?Theme Music "A Movie I'd Like to See" by Al Harley.

Ep 34Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes: The Little Foxes

E

When THE LITTLE FOXES premiered in 1941, over 22,000 people attended it on the first day - smashing all box office records before it.

Ep 32All Those Peens: Zola

A film about the power women yield, and how it can be hijacked. We adored this Janicza Bravo feature for it's juicy tension and off-beat humor.

Ep 26Soft Pale Child: Office Killer

E

Office Killer (1997): A mousy office worker kills off her coworkers. You'd think that would be a feel-good romp, but instead it's a drab and lifeless drag - and a total waste of Carol Kane.

The 2014 feature was directed by Ana Lily Amirpour, whose work has been compared to Jim Jarmusch, Robert Rodriguez, and David Lynch.

E

Clifford tells the story of a 10-year-old boy (played by a 40-year-old Martin Short) who stays with his uncle Martin (Charles Grodin) while his parents are on a business trip in Honolulu. It was a critical and commercial flop - Roger Ebert reported "in a screening of some 150 people, two people laughed, once apiece."We dedicate this episode the memory of the late great Charles Grodin.
