CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 6/6/24

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Non-violent conversation! 

Teenage campers explore a collapsed tower in the woods containing the rotting corpse of a killer. When one of them takes a locket off the body, its vengeful spirit is resurrected and summarily rips through all of them to reclaim it. IN A VIOLENT NATURE is an arthouse slasher throwback from the killer's POV and we talk with lead ensemble actors Ry Barrett & Andrea Pavlovic. 

A motherless newborn, a diary, an old assault and the Russian Mafia all play parts in EASTERN PROMISES, in which a man becomes enmeshed in a complicated and dangerous chain of events. We sit down with actor Viggo Mortensen (director/star/composer of THE DEAD DON'T HURT) and director David Cronenberg.  

Plus, "Screen Scene" movie reviews (in theaters, if not specified) including YOUNG WOMAN AND THE SEA; THE DEAD DON'T HURT; IN A VIOLENT NATURE [also on Shudder 6/14]; THE GREAT LILLIAN HALL [Max]; JIM HENSON: IDEA MAN [Disney+]; SOLO; KUNG FU PANDA 4 [4K][Universal Home Entertainment]; BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE [Paramount Home Video]; THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MAGICAL NEGROES [Universal Home Entertainment] and COMMON LAW WIFE & JENNIE, WIFE/CHILD [Film Masters].

"A Quiet Place: Day One" is the third film in the "A Quiet Place" franchise and finds "Pig" filmmaker Michael Sarnoski picking up directorial duties from franchise helmer John Krasinski. With the prequel setting the action in New York City on Day One of the Death Angels' arrival, Sarnoski takes us away from the family of the first two films and introduces us to new characters played by Academy Award-winner Lupita Nyong'o ("12 Years A Slave"), "Stranger Things" breakout star Joseph Quinn, and "Old's" Alex Wolff, with Djimon Hounsou reprising his role as Henri from "A Quiet Place Part II." Sarnoski was kind enough to return to the podcast and spend some time talking with us about his work on the film, which you can listen to below.
