For the better part of the last 20 years covering film festivals, I used to do a preview piece for eFilmCritic about South by Southwest called “10 Films To See.” Now that the site is no more I am bringing it to the Movie Madness podcast and offering those attending my suggestions to get on their schedule. They include a number of terrific documentaries about television and music, films where women take control, scary (and hopeful) films about technology and THE horror film to see where one of our great character actors gets to take center stage. Literally. But if you are attending Austin, all of these films should be highlighted on your schedule. And if you are not, be on the lookout for them in the future.
Ian welcomes back Erik Childress of the Movie Madness Podcast for a look at Career Opportunities, which turns 30 this year.The comedy stars Frank Whaley as Jim Dodge, an aimless small-town liar who lands a third-shift job at Target. When he's locked inside with the girl of his dreams (Josie, played by Jennifer Connelly), heartfelt hijinks ensue. Then murderers show up...This lesser-known and underappreciated John Hughes comedy is definitely a mixed bag, and Ian and Erik tackle it head-on. From a choppy final cut that prompted Hughes to (unsuccessfully) request that his name be removed from the picture; to a marketing strategy that undercut Connelly's character in favor of sex appeal; and a tone that wavered between romantic comedy, abuse drama, and crime caper, the guys take an unflinching look at the good, the bad, and the bizarre.Also, Erik talks about recording his first official audio commentary for Kino Lorber's brand-new Career Opportunities Blu-ray!Show Links:Watch the Career Opportunities trailer.KOrder Kino Lorber's new Career Opportunities Blu-ray.Read Erik's film criticism at eFilmCritic.Listen to Erik's Movie Madness Podcast on the Now Playing Network.Learn more about the Chicago Critics Film Festival, which returns to the historic Music Box Theatre in November.Subscribe to, like, and comment on the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel!
