CELLULOID DREAMS 2/29/24

THIS WEEK'S SHOW:  Sexy silliness and a few bonus inches-- er, MINUTES! 

Ethan Coen's first film as solo director, DRIVE-AWAY DOLLS tells of two lesbian best friends who decide to escape their lives via a road trip to Tallahassee. Unwittingly, their rental car is carrying some shady cargo and pursued by a pair of killer goons. We sit down among historical sex toys (really!) with DRIVE-AWAY DOLLS' three leading ladies, Beanie Feldstein, Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan to discuss the lesbian dramedy and... plaster casting. 

AND (since we were already there), we meet up with Dr. Carol Queen, Good Vibrations Staff Sexologist, Historian and Curator of the Antique Vibrator Museum for a lively chat covering sexual repression, female orgasm, the origin of the word "hysteria" and-- of all things!-- the history and development of the vibrator.

CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 10/17/24

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Scares (and a few laughs) from the archive! 

When a sheltered teen is subject to merciless torment at school and righteous condemnation from her zealot mother, she discovers she has developed latent-- and terrifying-- powers of telekinesis. Pushed too far, her revenge is both inevitable and ultimate. Director Kimberly Peirce (BOYS DON'T CRY) talks about the 2013 incarnation of CARRIE. [from 2013]

An unassuming, reclusive family with deep ancestral customs finds their quiet existence threatened when their small town is hit by an unrelenting downpour. A tragedy provides the catalyst to bring the family's dark secret into the light. The film is WE ARE WHAT WE ARE, and joining us is co-writer/director Jim Mickle (STAKE LAND). [from 2013] 

In a small town, actor Bruce Campbell, mistaken for his EVIL DEAD character Ash, is recruited to fight a real demon that's been accidentally disturbed. On this show, our conversation is with the real actor-DIRECTOR Bruce Campbell, who talks about his heightened cinematic doppelganger, the Hollywood game, celebrity and good old acting... oh-- and this movie: MY NAME IS BRUCE! [from 2008]

CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW --11/7/24

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Two new to Blu (-ray)!

Thelma is a 93-year-old woman who, one day, gets telephone-scammed by someone pretending to be her grandson in need of $10,000-- and there's no way she's gonna take that nonsense lying down! Similarly-aged Oscar-winning actor June Squibb chats with us about becoming an unlikely action star, and writer/director Josh Margolin also fills us in on THELMA-- incredibly, based on a real person!  

Set in 2008 during the last month of summer before high school begins, DIDI shows us an impressionable 13-year-old Taiwanese-American boy navigating the awkward, unknown landscape of teenhood, with the added toxic aspects of male peers and racism. Writer/director Sean Wang and Oscar nominee Joan Chen discuss the drama and cringe comedy of post-adolescent life in the semi-autobiographical DIDI.  

Plus, "Screen Scene" movie reviews (in theaters, if not specified) including ﻿ANORA; JUROR #2; HERE; ABSOLUTION; HERETIC; SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE; THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER; MERCHANT IVORY [VOD]; COLUMBIA CLASSICS COLLECTION Volume 5 [4K][Sony Pictures Home Entertainment] and TRAP [4K][Warner Home Entertainment].
