CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 7/6/23 

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Overcoming. 

A young mother of two, expecting her third, is on a mission to regain custody of her kids from the state and finds support from her Bay Area community in the drama EARTH MAMA, based on the documentary short THE HEART STILL HUMS. With us are writer/director Savanah Leaf, turning her short into a feature film and lead actor Tia Nomore. 

Based on the memoir, CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME? is the sometimes-comic tale of celebrity biographer Lee Israel and her turn to deception for profit. Richard E. Grant (currently on-screen in THE LESSON) plays Lee's partner-in-crime and tells us all about it (and maybe a few words about POSH NOSH!) in this interview from 2018. 

Plus, "Screen Scene" movie reviews (theaters or VOD if not specified) including MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE: DEAD RECKONING, PART ONE; ROCK HUDSON: ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWED; RUBY GILLMAN, TEENAGE KRAKEN; EVERY BODY; EARTH MAMA; THE LEAGUE and AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER (3-D) [Disney Home Video].

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].
