CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 3/6/25

THIS WEEK'S SHOW:  Two new to blu & one from the vault!

SEPTEMBER 5 recounts the Munich massacre: the terrorist attack which occurred during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Germany from the perspective of the ABC Sports crew and their coverage of the events as they were unfolding in real-time. Co-writer-director Tim Fehlbaum & actor John Magaro talk about their powerful docudrama.

Set in London, Mike Leigh's drama HARD TRUTHS follows the plight of a severely-depressed, hyper-sensitive middle-aged woman named Pansy and her relationship with her family: her perpetually-jovial sister Chantelle and her exasperated husband and son. We sit down with lead actor Marianne Jean-Baptiste and one of the best performances of 2024!  

From 2004:  Bumbling "user-friendly" candidate Dicky Pilager is in the midst of a Colorado gubernatorial campaign when-- surprise!-- a corpse turns up while filming an environmental political ad. A journalist-turned-detective does some digging and reveals complex connections to layers of corruption and family entanglements. Iconic indie writer/director John Sayles tells us about his comedy-drama SILVER CITY.  

Then, ALL-NEW "Screen Scene" movie reviews including ﻿LAST BREATH; ﻿RIFF RAFF; ﻿THE RULE OF JENNY PEN; ﻿RED ONE [4K][Warner Home Video] and DOCUMENTARY NOW: THE COMPLETE SERIES [Mill Creek Entertainment].

CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 3/13/25

THIS WEEK'S SHOW:  Things aren't looking bright!

It's been a while since we've had a new rock opera, and O'DESSA gives us a title character who, armed with a magic guitar, travels to a dystopian city ruled by a tyrannical game show host to fulfill an old prophecy. While there, she falls hard for her true love, but the infatuation soon turns into a rescue mission. Writer/director Geremy Jasper (PATTI CAKE$) zooms in to elucidate on his hero's journey.

From 2020:  In 1945, soon after atomic bombs exploded over Japan, two Hollywood studios were preparing big-budget films about the invention and use of that revolutionary new weapon. It was MGM that released THE BEGINNING OR THE END, a sort-of docudrama which covered the events leading from the U.S.'s initial reaction to the Nazis' own work to the project's terrible culmination at Hiroshima.  With his book, THE BEGINNING OR THE END: HOW HOLLYWOOD-- AND AMERICA-- LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB, author (and our sole guest) Greg Mitchell dives deep into studio meeting rooms, laboratories and military camps to tell the real story behind the celluloid one, detailing how what studio chief Louis B. Mayer called a "most important story" turned into a watered-down, stagey piece of Hollywood propaganda. 

Then, ALL-NEW "Screen Scene" movie reviews including ﻿﻿MICKEY 17; THERE'S STILL TOMORROW; IN THE LOST LANDS; SEVEN VEILS; THERE IS ANOTHER WAY; ﻿THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP: A LOONEY TUNES MOVIE and NOVOCAINE.
