CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 4/6/23 - EXTENDED EDITION!

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Light and dark. 

Judy, a struggling New York drag queen, finds her life thrown into chaos when her BFF and stage partner Chrissy decides to move to Philadelphia with her boyfriend. The ensuing high drama fills out the new comedy CHRISSY JUDY and zooming in with us is its writer/director and lead actor Todd Flaherty. 

DELIVER US FROM EVIL shines a light into the dark closet of Father Oliver O'Grady, a Catholic priest sexually abused hundreds of minors in Central California in the 1970s, as well as training a spotlight on the institution of the Catholic church itself. We go back to 2006 for a talk with writer/director Amy Berg. 

Plus, "Screen Scene" movie reviews (theatrical unless noted) including A THOUSAND AND ONE; LIVING WITH CHUCKY [Screambox]; PAINT; HOW TO BLOW UP A PIPELINE; RIDE ON; CHRISSY JUDY [also VOD 4/11]; THE MALTESE FALCON [4K][Warner Home Entertainment]; REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE [4K][Warner Home Entertainment]; COOL HAND LUKE [4K][Warner Home Entertainment]; STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION 4-MOVIE COLLECTION [4K][Paramount Home Video]; MISSING [Sony Pictures Home Entertainment]; PLANE [Lionsgate Home Video]; SERIOUSLY RED [Lionsgate Home Video]; GORGEOUS (1999) [88 Films]; IF I WERE KING (1938) [Kino Lorber Studio Classics] and ﻿﻿THE BLISS OF MRS.

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].
