CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 11/2/23 

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: 3 films, 4 conversations. 

RADICAL dramatizes the true story of an elementary school in a Mexican border town where violence and corruption are all the kids know. Into this world comes a teacher with big new ideas for elevating some of the country's worst-performing students. We Zoom in with actor Eugenio Derbez & producer-co-writer Joshua Davis. 

Both a comedic thriller and a satirical indictment of the contemporary art market, THE KILL ROOM finds a struggling art gallery owner teaming with a hit man/money-launderer whose kills become mistaken for avant-garde art. Joining us to further the commentary is director Nicol Paone (FRIENDSGIVING). 

Media coverage from North Korea typically sanitizes ugly truths about the dictatorship of Kim Jong-Un and his regime's oppression of the country's people. BEYOND UTOPIA documents several families determined to escape and the myriad challenges and dangers in doing so. With us are producers Rachel Cohen & Sue Mi Terry. 

"Screen Scene" movie reviews return next week!

CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 6/20/24

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: A lighter look at scams and racism-- with Oscar winners! 

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! 

From 2023: When a frustrated novelist, pushing back on the establishment profiting from "Black" entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes, writes his own outrageous "Black" story as a joke (and under a pseudonym). But when it gets published and praised as brilliant, he struggles with whether or not to come clean. Co-writer Cord Jefferson (WATCHMEN) discusses his satirical directorial debut AMERICAN FICTION-- multiple Academy Award nominee and winner, now on blu-ray! 

Plus, "Screen Scene" movie reviews (in theaters, if not specified) including ﻿﻿INSIDE OUT 2; FIREBRAND; TUESDAY; ﻿THELMA; ﻿﻿CHINATOWN [4K][Paramount Home Video]; ﻿SUPERMAN & LOIS: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON [Warner Home Entertainment]; THE LAST STOP IN YUMA COUNTY [Well Go USA]; SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE DEADLY NECKLACE (1962) [Severin Films Video] and ﻿(SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE'S) SHERLOCK HOLMES [1968] [Severin Films Video].
