CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 3/29/21

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Thrills over here, laughs and music over there!

In late Summer 1939, mere weeks before World War II, an English teacher at a British finishing school for the daughters of Nazi families suddenly turns up dead, and his replacement determines to uncover the dark truth while maintaining his own secrets. Actor and co-writer Eddie Izzard zooms in to tell us about the semi-historical thriller SIX MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT.

Christopher Guest's 2003 on-point mockumentary A MIGHTY WIND covers the reunion of several 1960s folk music groups that gather for a TV concert to memorialize a deceased concert promoter who shepherded them to folk stardom. We dip into the extensive Celluloid Dreams archive for a sit-down with two of its hilarious stars, Jane Lynch and John Michael Higgins.

Plus, movie reviews including OPERATION VARSITY BLUES: THE COLLEGE ADMISSIONS SCANDAL [Netflix]; BAD TRIP [Netflix]; PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN [Universal Home Entertainment]; WONDER WOMAN 1984 [4K][Warner Home Video] and SOUL [HD][Buena Vista Home Entertainment].

CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 4/25/24

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: It's all in our heads! 

A manic experimental filmmaker (played by the writer and director of the film Philip Jozef Brubaker, who actually undergoes psychosis onscreen) summons a manifestation of Stanley Kubrick into his apartment to confront the famous filmmaker on the negative depiction of mental illness in his filmography. The two directors go on a feverish journey through Kubrick's oeuvre, as the master director is confronted for his negative portrayal of the burden of insanity. Characters from DR. STRANGELOVE, THE SHINING and FULL METAL JACKET are re-evaluated as Brubaker demands the recalcitrant Kubrick admit to his bias against the mentally ill. And it's a documentary! Philip Józef Brubaker discusses his unmistakably-titled HOW TO EXPLAIN YOUR MENTAL ILLNESS TO STANLEY KUBRICK. 

Then, "Screen Scene" movie reviews including ﻿HARD MILES [also VOD]; THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE; ABIGAIL; RIPLEY [Netflix] and HOW TO EXPLAIN YOUR MENTAL ILLNESS TO STANLEY KUBRICK.
