Paleo-Cinema Podcast

Summary: A great podcast about movies before 1980, crime, exploitation, classics, science fiction, exploitation and other genres. I look at movies trying to understand what makes them tick, where they come from and to do cinematic archaeology on film.

 Paleo-Cinema Podcast # 39 Frankenheimer’s Paranoia Trilogy | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 59:40

For Podcast 39 I look at what has been called John Frankenheimer's Paranoia Trilogy, the 1962 film, The Manchurian Candidate, 1964's Seven Days In May and 1966's Seconds. All of the speak to the fears of the time and all have influenced the plots of many subsequent lesser movies. Oddly enough, the zeitgeist fears of the 1960s resemble many of the zeitgeist fears of the Noughties. That's part of the fun of watching old movies: seeing our own lives and times foreshadowed in them.

 Paleo-Cinema Podcast #38 Ozploitation Galore! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 50:07

London to a brick, the best explanation of Ozploitation cinema this side of the black stump or at least the end of the local tram line. Fuck me dead! in the immortal words of Rod Taylor in "Welcome to Woop Woop". Vote for Paleo-CInema under Movies and TV at Podcast Alley and send your comments by mp3 or email to kultguru@gmail.com.

 Paleo-Cinema Podcast #37 Pimps, Hairdressers and Chainsaws. | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 51:55

This time around, people, it's the 2nd Anniversary Paleo-Cinema full of pimps, hairdressers, insecure mofos and the relative merits of chainsaws versus machetes. I look at Rudy Ray Moore's odd, iconoclastic and archetypally 1970s pimp film Dolemite, its' sequel, The Human Tornado and the black version of a Warren Beatty film which is much better than the original, Black Shampoo. So put on your platform soles, your fake zebra skin greatcoat and get a couple of your working ladies together and enjoy the studtastic pimperific Paleo-Cinema 37.

 Paleo-Cinema Podcast 36 Pilgrims, Magic Sound and The High Price of Immortality | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 46:44

For Podcast 36 I take a look at the Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger WW2 movie A Canterbury Tale from 1944, Jerzy Skolimowski's 1978 creepy supernatural movie The Shout and a lesser known 1973 British Horror film which should become recognised as a proto-steampunk classic, The Asphyx.

 Paleo-Cinema 35 We Deserve Better Science Fiction Films | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 45:15

This time, I'm on a rant, people. I fulminate, pontificate and ratiocinate about movies once more.  Summer (or for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere) Winter Blockbusters have pissed me off mightily, so I'm looking back at a few classic SF films and try to analyse why they work and modern Science Fiction films don't

 Paleo-Cinema Podcast Special 2 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 41:26

Once more I'm inflicting weird and wonderful music upon you. Singing actors, spooky women, groovy audio wall to wall. Enjoy.

 Paleo-Cinema Podcast 34 Don’t Call Me Shirley. | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 48:39

Three comedies this time around. Blake Edwards' S.O.B. (yes, the one where Julie Andrews' boobs have a cameo role and Robert Vaughn wears women's undies), Airplane! known in the antipodes as Flying High and the classic golfing comedy Caddyshack. (I'm deliberately ignoring the sequels to the latter two movies). Nothing serious for #34 but just a few chuckles and a look at how a dramatic B-Movie like Zero Hour! can be transformed into a really silly comedy.

 Paleo-Cinema Podcast 33 - The Later Career of Orson Welles | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 52:00

This time I'll be looking at three of Orson Welles' later films. The multi-formed multi-version Confidential Report/ Mr Arkadin, the film noir classic Touch of Evil and Welles' last and most playfully joyous film - F For Fake. The Lives Of Harry Lime Radio Shows- From Archive.org

 Paleo-Cinema Podcast 32 Sick Japanese Puppies. | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 55:12

This time around, I'm looking at Japanese crime movies. Sonny Chiba's inimitable Streetfighter series, Hanzo The Razor where a Japanese cop with unusual methods is explored in detail and take a quick swim in a sea of weirdness with Seijun Suzuki's Tokyo Drifter and Branded To Kill.

 Paleo-Cinema Podcast 31 Kidsafe Movies | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 54:28

This time around, I'll be suggesting movies to watch with children. Not necessarily childrens' films but movies that might generate a passion for cinema in the minds of the young, so they don't grow up to say things like "Rob Schneider Is A Genius" or "I don't like black and white movies, I can't get into them" or other things that would make people doubt the integrity of their genetic structure. I offer this as a public service to the children of the world.* *Tongue in cheek, of course

 Paleo-cinema Podcast Number 30 - The Big Three Movies | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 60:12

Okay I'm going out on a limb this time, looking at three of the most popular Paleo-Cinematic movies of all time and trying to think of something original to say about them. Orson Welles' Citizen Kane, Michael Curtiz's Casablanca and Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita. Also, don't forget to vote for Paleo-Cinema over at Podcast Alley.

 Paleo-cinema Podcast Special Episode #1 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 33:44

In this 'cast I'm doing something different. A mixtape of sorts where I share some of my favourite movie music. Not much else to say, but enjoy it :-) Back to a full podcast next week. Terry

 Paleo-Cinema Podcast #28 Dealing With The Devil | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Okay, in this pre-Easter season we look at three movies about making a deal with the Devil. First off, a baseball fan with a mid-life crisis cuts a contract with Ray Walston in Damn Yankees - only to have Gwen Verdon thrown at him. (They're thinking about remaking this with Jake Gyllenhaal in the Tab Hunter role and Jim Carrey in the Ray Walston one). Next we look at the comedy classic, Bedazzled (and if you don't like this movie, you fill me with inertia) and move on to Brian De Palma's rock and roll iteration of Faust, The Phantom of the Opera and The Picture of Dorian Gray, 1974's Phantom of the Paradise.

 Paleo-cinema Podcast #26 Road House Singers, Gigolos in Cuzco and A Love Story Between Two Shits. | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 45:10

This time around we have one movie from the 40s, one from the 50s and one from the 60s. To start with, Road House (1948), then Secret of the Incas from 1954 and The Thomas Crown Affair (1968).

 Paleo-Cinema Podcast 25 - The Eurospy Agenda | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 52:15

This time around, I take a look at Eurospy movies - European espionage movies from the 1960s which range from absurd comedies to dark and deadly thrillers, so put on your tux, mix martinis, load your Walther PPK and enjoy! A Link To A Gallery Of Eurospy Movie posters on David J. Deal's site
