CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 3/30/23 - EXTENDED EDITION!

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Putting it on-- again! 

Before there was HONOR AMONG THIEVES, there was the original big-screen DUNGEONS & DRAGONS! Co-written by D&D creator E. Gary Gygax, the 2000 outing features two young thieves who unwittingly aid a benevolent Empress to acquire a powerful rod against copious evil forces. Lead actor Justin Whalin (SERIAL MOM) spoke with us about D&D, being Jimmy Olsen, encountering Chucky and getting hip to John Waters.

The early days of Hollywood, rife with decadence and depravity, took a hard turn when the silent era gave way to sound, creating new stars and effectively ending others. BABYLON-- now on Blu-ray-- focuses on three ambitious characters as they rise and fall, and we sit down with two of the three leads, actors Margot Robbie and Diego Calva.

Plus, "Screen Scene" movie reviews (theatrical unless noted) including JOHN WICK: CHAPTER FOUR; THE LOST KING; ﻿DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES; TORI AND LOKITA; TETRIS [Apple TV+]; SPACE ODDITY [also VOD 3/31]; SUMMONING SYLVIA [also VOD 4/7]; ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT [4K][MPI Media Group]; BATMAN: THE DOOM THAT CAME TO GOTHAM [4K][Warner Home Entertainment]; ﻿MARATHON MAN [4K][Kino Lorber Studio Classics] and ﻿﻿MARCO POLO (1962) [Kino Lorber Studio Classics].

CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 6/13/24

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Two conversations from 2009. 
  
Their music has been known and loved by people of all generations, all over Earth, and even casual fans know their name. The Sherman Brothers have crafted countless songs for nearly all of Walt Disney's iconic classic movies, from MARY POPPINS to THE JUNGLE BOOK and from the infamous "It's a Small World" to non-Disney properties like CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG. In 2009, we were audience to one of the greats of musical cinema, Richard M. Sherman for the documentary THE BOYS: THE SHERMAN BROTHERS' STORY. Plus live music! 

Inspired by a true story, ME & ORSON WELLES dramatizes how a young aspiring thespian in 1937 meets Orson Welles on a day trip to New York City and gets a lucky shot at starring in the mercurial director's upcoming stage production of JULIUS CAESAR. Once in the company and exposed to Welles' demanding proclivities, the young actor must decide if the venture is worth the cost. With his new film HIT MAN in theaters, we revisit our chat with director Richard Linklater and as Orson Welles, Christian McKay. 

Plus, "Screen Scene" movie reviews (in theaters, if not specified) including ﻿QUEER PLANET [Peacock]; BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE; ﻿THE WATCHERS; ROBOT DREAMS; ﻿TREASURE; ﻿GODZILLA x KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE [4K][Warner Home Entertainment]; ﻿ARTHUR THE KING [Lionsgate Home Video] and 10 CAPITANO [Cohen Media Group].
