CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 12/5/24

THIS WEEK'S SHOW:  When real life gives way to something else..

Remember Y2K-- the event that wasn't? In 1999, programmers across the globe scrambled to update systems to avoid a mass crash when clocks hit the new millennium. In the retro-teen comedy-with-horror Y2K, two nobodies crash a big NYE party and... things don't go the way they did in reality! With us are first-time director Kyle Mooney (SNL; BRIGSBY BEAR) and producer Evan Winter-- both also co-writers.

From 2020: Based on Peter Carey's novel, the almost-assuredly-true tale of one of Australia's most notorious figures is spun in TRUE HISTORY OF THE KELLY GANG, a fictionalized account of the famed 19th century Australian Bush Ranger/bandit Ned Kelly. With his new film THE ORDER in theaters, we return Down Under for our 2020 chat with director Justin Kurzel (MACBETH; ASSASSIN'S CREED).  

Plus, "Screen Scene" movie reviews (in theaters, if not specified) including ﻿﻿﻿MOANA 2; MARIA; NUTCRACKERS [Hulu]; ﻿Music Box: YACHT ROCK: A DOCKUMENTARY [Max]; ﻿NIGHTBITCH; QUEER; GET AWAY; FLOW; THE ORDER; ﻿WATCHMEN: Chapter II [4K][Warner Home Entertainment] and ﻿PULP FICTION Limited Edition Collector's Set [4K] [Paramount Home Video].
