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.

CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 11/14/24

THIS WEEK'S SHOW:  

From 1999: In Tim Burton’s suspenseful and sweeping tale SLEEPY HOLLOW, Johnny Depp stars as Ichabod Crane, an eccentric and earnest constable with an avant-garde approach to solving crime. Ichabod’s investigative ways are put to the test when his superiors send him to the small village of Sleepy Hollow to probe a string of murders, allegedly committed by a HEADLESS HORSEMAN! 2024 marks the 25th anniversary of the film, so, we dust off our sit-down with actor Johnny Depp!  

KNEECAP is the real-life story of three directionless young men from West Belfast who form a rap group (dubbed KNEECAP) and become unlikely figureheads for the civil rights movement to save the Irish language. In this fiercely original sex, drugs and hip-hop biopic, KNEECAP play themselves, laying down a global rallying cry for the defense of native cultures. We sit down with rappers/actors Móglaí Bap (Naoise) & DJ "JJ" Próvai and director Rich Peppiatt.

CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 12/5/24

THIS WEEK'S SHOW:  When real life gives way to something else..

Remember Y2K-- the event that wasn't? In 1999, programmers across the globe scrambled to update systems to avoid a mass crash when clocks hit the new millennium. In the retro-teen comedy-with-horror Y2K, two nobodies crash a big NYE party and... things don't go the way they did in reality! With us are first-time director Kyle Mooney (SNL; BRIGSBY BEAR) and producer Evan Winter-- both also co-writers.

From 2020: Based on Peter Carey's novel, the almost-assuredly-true tale of one of Australia's most notorious figures is spun in TRUE HISTORY OF THE KELLY GANG, a fictionalized account of the famed 19th century Australian Bush Ranger/bandit Ned Kelly. With his new film THE ORDER in theaters, we return Down Under for our 2020 chat with director Justin Kurzel (MACBETH; ASSASSIN'S CREED).  

Plus, "Screen Scene" movie reviews (in theaters, if not specified) including ﻿﻿﻿MOANA 2; MARIA; NUTCRACKERS [Hulu]; ﻿Music Box: YACHT ROCK: A DOCKUMENTARY [Max]; ﻿NIGHTBITCH; QUEER; GET AWAY; FLOW; THE ORDER; ﻿WATCHMEN: Chapter II [4K][Warner Home Entertainment] and ﻿PULP FICTION Limited Edition Collector's Set [4K] [Paramount Home Video].

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: It's the past! It's the future!

In February of 1972, John Lennon and Yoko Ono were invited to co-host the syndicated daytime The Mike Douglas Show for an entire week, with them selecting all the guests and bringing the counterculture to an entirely new audience. DAYTIME REVOLUTION gleans highlights of that week and peppers them with newly-recorded recollections from some of those shows' participants. We join up with director Erik Nelson (DIARY OF A GRIZZLY MAN; A GRAY STATE).

New to Blu-ray: SLINGSHOT follows an elite trio of astronauts aboard a years-long, possibly compromised mission to Saturn's moon Titan. As the team gears up for a highly dangerous "slingshot" maneuver that will either catapult them to Titan or into deep space, it becomes increasingly difficult for one astronaut to maintain his grip on reality. Zooming in to elucidate on all this space madness is director Mikael Håfström.

Plus, "Screen Scene" movie reviews (in theaters, if not specified) including ﻿﻿﻿DAY OF THE FIGHT; THE END; THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM; ﻿OH, CANADA; THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG; FRANK CAPRA AT COLUMBIA Limited Edition [4K] [Sony Pictures Home Entertainment] and ﻿JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX [4K] [Warner Home Entertainment].

THIS WEEK'S SHOW:  Ghosts of Christmas movies past!

From 2003:  You know him from our intermission entertainment: the late author/ Hollywood tour guide Stephen Schochet's short Hollywood Stories. In 2003, Stephen hung with us a bit longer, sharing anecdotes related to his some iconic Christmas movies. 'Tis the season for the HOLLYWOOD STORIES: XMAS MOVIES EDITION!  

From 2010:  A holiday mainstay got wildly reinvented via a radical new big-screen take on the classic THE NUTCRACKER. Originally designed for 3-D, it trades the dream scenario for a journey into another dimension with oversized humanoid toys. Joining us was director Andrey Konchalovskiy (RUNAWAY TRAIN).
