Once more I'm inflicting weird and wonderful music upon you. Singing actors, spooky women, groovy audio wall to wall. Enjoy.

Three comedies this time around. Blake Edwards' S.O.B. (yes, the one where Julie Andrews' boobs have a cameo role and Robert Vaughn wears women's undies), Airplane! known in the antipodes as Flying High and the classic golfing comedy Caddyshack. (I'm deliberately ignoring the sequels to the latter two movies). Nothing serious for #34 but just a few chuckles and a look at how a dramatic B-Movie like Zero Hour! can be transformed into a really silly comedy.

This time I'll be looking at three of Orson Welles' later films. The multi-formed multi-version Confidential Report/ Mr Arkadin, the film noir classic Touch of Evil and Welles' last and most playfully joyous film - F For Fake. The Lives Of Harry Lime Radio Shows- From Archive.org

This time around, I'm looking at Japanese crime movies. Sonny Chiba's inimitable Streetfighter series, Hanzo The Razor where a Japanese cop with unusual methods is explored in detail and take a quick swim in a sea of weirdness with Seijun Suzuki's Tokyo Drifter and Branded To Kill.

This time around, I'll be suggesting movies to watch with children.
Not necessarily childrens' films but movies that might generate a passion for cinema in the minds of the young, so they don't grow up to say things like "Rob Schneider Is A Genius" or "I don't like black and white movies, I can't get into them" or other things that would make people doubt the integrity of their genetic structure. I offer this as a public service to the children of the world.*
*Tongue in cheek, of course

Okay I'm going out on a limb this time, looking at three of the most popular Paleo-Cinematic movies of all time and trying to think of something original to say about them. Orson Welles' Citizen Kane, Michael Curtiz's Casablanca and Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita. Also, don't forget to vote for Paleo-Cinema over at Podcast Alley.

Okay, in this pre-Easter season we look at three movies about making a deal with the Devil. First off, a baseball fan with a mid-life crisis cuts a contract with Ray Walston in Damn Yankees - only to have Gwen Verdon thrown at him. (They're thinking about remaking this with Jake Gyllenhaal in the Tab Hunter role and Jim Carrey in the Ray Walston one). Next we look at the comedy classic, Bedazzled (and if you don't like this movie, you fill me with inertia) and move on to Brian De Palma's rock and roll iteration of Faust, The Phantom of the Opera and The Picture of Dorian Gray, 1974's Phantom of the Paradise.
