Podcast appearances and mentions of andrew leavold

Film historian Samm Deighan and cult cinema expert Andrew Leavold join Mike to shine a light on Jean-Pierre Melville's Two Men in Manhattan (1959). Often overshadowed by his better-known crime films, this moody noir follows a journalist and a photographer as they comb the streets of New York in search of a missing French diplomat. The trio digs into Melville's fascination with American style, the film's ethically murky characters, and how it fits within the director's larger body of work. They also explore the tension between documentary realism and stylized noir, and why Two Men in Manhattan deserves a second look. Author Ginette Vincendeau (Jean-Pierre Melville: An American in Paris), discusses this unique entry in Melville's filmography. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.

First she mates… then she terminates. Then we talk about it! Maybe you can't say LADY TERMINATOR is more than the sum of its parts (problematic depictions of women, poor editing, and a sometimes shot-for-shot ripoff of THE TERMINATOR (1984)), but it absolutely doesn't need to be. Blending Indonesian folklore with ‘80s action tropes and a healthy dose of exploitation, it's roughly about the curse of 100 generations coming to roost in the innocent young. But it's so much a product of its time and place that you couldn't imitate it if you wanted to – it's too earnestly ridiculous, too confidently strange to repeat. We loved it.

No-one in Australia can go to a pub right now but Andrew Leavold is still hell bent on making a film called PUB.The film which is in production is about St Kilda artist, satirist, and musician Fred Negro (real name).It's also about the changing face of that Melbourne suburb and the Australian music scene.Andrew called into the show and we found out all about the film which is currently the subject of a crowd funding campaign.This film can give us a hope for the future. One day the pubs and live music venues will open again and we'll be able to watch PUB in a cinema somewhere."For me it’s a character study of a neglected, misunderstood and under-appreciated Aussie character who has never received his dues (not to mention a very old mate of mine, so I know EXACTLY the right stories to tell).It’s also a love letter to St Kilda itself, former bohemian haunt and Mecca of Musical Excess, now tarted up and gentrified to the point where those pockets of grunge that gave St Kilda its disreputable character, its very essence of being, exist as tiny pockets of True Believers. In a very real sense, Fred Negro is like a Davy Crockett and the bars he and his keepers of the Rock’n’Roll flame fiercely protect are the Alamo, surrounded by “Mexicans” in $100,000 sports cars and Gucci suits."
