Was a pleasure to be joined by @jlalibs.bsky.social of @vinsyn.bsky.social on the pod this week, who showed us a 70s blaxploitation film by Ossie Davis I had never even heard of (Gordon's War) that is basically a Harlem men-on-a-mission vigilante-revenge Point Blank/The French Connection.

Thrilled to be joined by @willowcatelyn.bsky.social to talk about Prince's screen debut in the quasi-autobiographical rock opera/concert musical Purple Rain + his directorial debut Under the Cherry Moon, a strange post-modern pastiche of Old Hollywood rom-coms & European art films.

Someone (aka @theworstnun.bsky.social) finally had us talk about the movie where Guy Pearce & Robert Carlyle want to romantically cannibalize each other as part of a larger horror-western metaphor for America's insatiable manifest destiny greed. Also one of the best (and weirdest) movie scores ever.

Pretty hard to scrub the image of George Eastman tearing a fetus out of the womb & chowing down on it after.

Rewatched Army of Darkness last night. Raimi’s breathlessly manic kineticism should be exhausting even at 80m but man… the slapstick gags, cartoon mugging, stop-motion action craft and willingness to just move on from/blow up anything on screen on a dime. What a filmmaker.

The spooky season is about throwing on an Italian horror film and sitting through some misogynistic American guy driving around Rome doing bozo detective shit for like 95% of the runtime to get to the 5% of gruesome slasher kills you know are coming when the groovy baseline hits.
