CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 9/12/24

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Keyboards and drums keep the beat!

SEEKING MAVIS BEACON is a hybrid-documentary that blends myth and memory to uncover the truth behind an unsung hero in Black history-- a journey in search of the face behind an iconic computer program introduced in 1987: Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. We sit down with investigative writer/director Jazmin Jones.

In 2014, writer/director Damien Chazelle turned his love of jazz into the intense 3-time Oscar-winning drama WHIPLASH, about a young student drummer who is put through his paces and then some by a teacher who is more drill sergeant than instructor. WHIPLASH is getting a theatrical 4K re-release for its 10th anniversary this month, so we crack open the vault and revisit our first chat with Chazelle.

Plus, "Screen Scene" movie reviews (in theaters, if not specified) including ﻿BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE; ﻿THE FRONT ROOM; ﻿THE THICKET; LOVER OF MEN: THE UNTOLD HISTORY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN; THE CRITIC and ﻿BEFORE DAWN [Well Go USA].

We get to know the artist through her powerful canvases, following her ascent to international stardom in 1920s Paris to her move to the U.S. in 1940, fleeing the rise of fascism in Europe and then her revival in the current art market.

1/4/21 -- THIS WEEK'S CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW: We've got Soul -- sort of!

In animator Hayao Miyazaki's 2004 feature Howl's Moving Castle, a teenage girl, cursed by a witch into an old woman's body, finds herself aboard a traveling castle with a magician and a demon who is looking to make a deal. We sat down with Pixar's Pete Docter (the director of SOUL, who co-helmed the English language conversion) in this chat not heard since 2005! 

SOUL lead actor Jamie Foxx played real-life soul man Ray Charles in 2004's biopic RAY,, tracing the singer's life from age 7 through decades of stardom and struggles. RAY was directed by Taylor Hackford (AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN; CHUCK BERRY: HAIL! HAIL! ROCK 'N' ROLL) and is our second SOUL-connected interview from the vault!
