4/22/21 -- THIS WEEK'S CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW: A legend and a fairy tale.

One of the great American directors of stage and screen is the subject of the new book MIKE NICHOLS: A LIFE. His career took him from improv comedy with his partner Elaine May to helming stage productions of THE REAL THING, STREAMERS, HURLYBURLY and DEATH AND THE MAIDEN. But, it's his films that will live on-- all acclaimed and all essential in some way, from WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?, CATCH-22 and THE GRADUATE to THE DAY OF THE DOLPHIN, SILKWOOD, POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE, THE BIRDCAGE and beyond, including the epic cinematic incarnation of ANGELS IN AMERICA. We talk with the author of MIKE NICHOLS: A LIFE, Mark Harris.

From 2020: WENDY is a fresh spin on the time-worn tale of Peter Pan, putting her front and center in a story about the joy, emotion and adventure of youth and the deadly peril of growing up. It imagines Peter and the Lost Boys in a modern setting, on an island where aging and time have come unglued. Joining us to talk about WENDY (now on home video) are co-screenwriter/director Benh Zeitlin (BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD) and lead actor Devin France.

Plus: "Screen Scene" movie reviews (VOD if not specified) including TOGETHER TOGETHER; ANOTHER GAY MOVIE: DIRECTOR'S CUT; SHADOW IN THE CLOUD [Vertical Entertainment] and BARB & STAR GO TO VISTA DEL MAR [Lionsgate Home Video].

CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 5/16/24

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: 

Five women head out on a hiking retreat in a remote Australian forest, but only four emerge on the other side, each with a different story. Missing is an independent whistle blower, and two Federal agents set out to learn what really happened. FORCE OF NATURE: THE DRY 2 trades its predecessor's desert heat for green mountains, but our guests, actor Eric Bana [HULK; TROY] and director/co-writer Robert Connolly are nice and cozy! 

A brainy dog and his adopted boy travel through time to fix an accidental rift and save the future! Look out-- Jay Ward's classic cartoon MR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN gets a digital update at the hands of our guests, director Rob Minkoff [THE LION KING] and producers Alex Schwartz, Denise Nolan Cascino & Tiffany Ward-- from 2014!
