Movie reviews forever. Seven 70's film to review, for you, today. We've got three greats, one really good, one good, one with a very problematic scene, and one crappy Disney film, that one of our crew has been conditioned by Disney to enjoy more than the other 2 who are less susceptible to the power of the D. That's it were done. Not really but seriously lets roll through them quick. (watermelon man 1970) summing these up today in one sentence each, this one's is. Godfrey Cambridge died way too young, but we can always see him here kicking this movies butt. (Sweet Sweetbacks bad ass song 1971) Another great example of trippy early 70's filmaking, and maybe have someone who's seen it work the remote and skip about 56 seconds of this thing. (Jeremy1973) a newly discovered gem for us that can be described in one word, beautiful. (Five on the black hand side 1973) Rad mother finds her extremely powerful voice and gives sexist asshat a last chance to be cool. (Hestor Street 1975) Kinda reminds a lil of the plot of the last movie, but further back in time, in black and white, and Carol Kane will kick your arse, with acting. (The seduction of Joe Tynan 1979) Title gets it right, also Streep, Alda's cool, but Flippin Streep. (The last flight of Noah's Ark) Not to jump the shark of an upcoming review, but this film is better than escape to witch mountain 2, wait is it? That upside down helicopter was in 2 right? Sorry this is more than one sentence. Thanks for listening friends.

Prof. Juni begins by clarifying that hoarding and other behavioral anomalies are considered psychiatrically pathological only if they interfere significantly with daily, relational, and vocational functioning. The commonalities of hoarding and addiction are outlined. Not letting go is described by Juni as due to anomalies in early childhood toilet training period. R. Kivelevitz argues that a history of poverty and deprivation may be sufficient to explain the excitement of object acquisition without resorting to arcane psychoanalytic principles. Besides pathological hoarding reactions, Juni argues that the hoarding mentality extends to difficulties dissolving friendships which have run their course and prevents adults from exploring new interpersonal horizons or to reassesses ideological or social commitments. Kivelevitz points out that the Covid isolation period has indeed prompted many to reexamine their relationships and values. Both discussants point to the usurping of true relationships by the proliferation of pseudo-friendships of social media. Using his own professional life as podcaster as a case in point, Kivelevitz explores the fine divide between professional and personal relationships which are subject to reevaluation in terms of meaningfulness and practical considerations. Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.

He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.

Ian and Pat look at one of the earliest and most controversial "body swap" movies: 1970's Watermelon Man! Melvin Van Peebles' cutting social satire finds Jeff Gerber, a racist white suburban dad played by Godfrey Cambridge, waking up one morning to discover that he's turned black.The guys examine the film's successes and shortfalls as a comedy; the context in which it was released versus how it holds up today; and the behind-the-scenes tensions that led to very ideologies competing for screen time.Also, Pat hatches a plan to be the first certified film critic to review Watermelon Man for Rotten Tomatoes!Note: This conversation was recorded several days before Coca-Cola's controversial "Be Less White" corporate training became headline news--which is why you won't see it discussed here. However, the questions of identity and culture that have arisen in the aftermath of that story are very relevant to Watermelon Man, and to Ian and Pat's commentary.Show Links:Watch the Watermelon Man trailer.Watch Watermelon Man on Amazon Prime (streaming FREE for members).Keep up with Pat at HollywoodChicago.com.Subscribe to, like, and comment on the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel!

We're back. We watched Melvin Van Peebles's hilarious and provocative racial satire, WATERMELON MAN (1970). Starring the great Godfrey Cambridge as an obnoxious insurance salesman who wakes up one morning to discover that his appearance has changed slightly. We discuss: Gamestop, Jimmy Kimmel being a Russian spy, why Inland Empire kinda sucks, "woke" capitalism, and comedy as a tool for subversion.

Meet Godfrey Cambridge, purveyor of smart standup comedy, insightful social commentator. and star of groundbreaking movies in this miniprogram. As always, find additional clips in the comments at laughtracksradio.com and thanks for sharing our shows.

David F. Walker (writer of "Shaft" and "Luke Cage" comics, and graphic novels on Frederick Douglas and The Black Panther Party) picks some Black films that matter to provide context for today's protests. We discuss the controversial 1973 film "The Spook Who Sat By The Door" that United Artists pulled from release; Melvin Van Peebles' "The Watermelon Man" in which Godfrey Cambridge plays a white man who wakes up Black one morning; "Cornbread, Earl and Me" about an innocent Black kid shot dead by police; and more. We explore why these films are still relevant and how that provide insight into race in America. WARNING: Contains explicit language and language that may be offensive.

A psychonaut revamp the 1958 original, BTB features “Charlie X” from STAR TREK battling the title slime as it threatens (among others) Godfrey Cambridge, Cindy Williams, Gerrit Graham, Burgess Meredith, Dick Van Patten, and Hagman himself amidst a trippy Mort Garson synth score and shockingly good visual effects.

It's Thursday, and time for another of theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck's weekly reviews of the Maryland stage. Today, she talks with Tom about Purlie, the 1970 Broadway musical hit that's getting a spirited revival at Arena Players, the oldest continually performing and historically African-American theater community in Baltimore. Set in the segregated, Jim Crow-era American South, Purlie tells the story of a charismatic traveling preacher named Purlie Victorious Judson, who returns to his small Georgia town in the hope of saving Big Bethel, the community's church, and free the indentured black cotton pickers who work on oppressive Ol' Cap'n Cotchipee's plantation. Purlie - which earned five Tony Awards, including for Best Musical, credits its book to veteran stage and screen actor Ossie Davis, Philip Rose and Peter Udell, with lyrics by Udell and music by Gary Geld. The musical was based closely on Davis's 1961 Broadway play, Purlie Victorious, which was adapted in 1963 into the film Gone Are the Days! The movie version featured many of the play's Broadway cast, including Davis, Ruby Dee, Alan Alda, Beah Richards, Godfrey Cambridge, and Sorrell Booke. Directed at Arena Players by Troy Burton, with musical direction by Tevin Brown, Purlie stars Antoine Williams in the title role, along with Stacey Saunders as Lutiebelle and Katrina Jones as Missy. The cast also includes Nate Couser, Xander Golden, Wanda Tyler, Lisa Wooten, Zolita Lester and Michael Barrett. Purlie continues through Sunday, March 1 at Arena Players Baltimore, located at 801 McCulloh St., Baltimore, Maryland 21201. Click here for ticket and location info. [Near the end of today's live theater review, news broke of the sentencing of former Baltimore mayor Catherine Pugh. As he'd promised throughout the hour, Tom brought WYPR's courthouse reporter Emily Sullivan immediately on the line for a live update. We've left the audio of Emily's debriefer in place, beginning at 7:32 into the segment.]

The biting satire of 1970s WATERMELON MAN and the captivating lead performances of Godfrey Cambridge and Estelle Parsons cannot be denied. The direction of Melvin Van Peeples, however, is once again a bone of contention on the Mission. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Chris is joined by OughtFiveFilm's Mike Wallace to kick off Blaxploitation Month with a look at a film that more than just a blaxploitation film: Cotton Comes to Harlem. The film stars Godfrey Cambridge and Raymond St. Jacques as Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson, two black cops who are tasked with retrieving $87,000 that was conned out of the good folks in Harlem. It's a blaxploitation film in the vein of The French Connection and other '70s crime films and stands on its own as such.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

Watermelon Man turned out to be a better film than expected. Still with a message that unfortunately still resonates to this very day. A recommended viewing.

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew discuss the 1970 comedy-drama film, Watermelon Man, directed by Melvin Van Peebles and starring Godfrey Cambridge and Estelle Parsons. The story of an unlikeable (by everyone) white man named Jeff Gerber who wakes up one day as a Black man in the 1970s. Challenging notions of white liberalism, disparity, and pushing the envelope of racial comedy in its time, Watermelon Man pulls no punches. More than simply a morality tale, Van Peebles takes a stab at the heart of what it means to be a man of color during that time.

Then Andy interviews Manny Roth, who ran the famous Cafe Wha? in New York City, presenting up-and-coming entertainers like Bob Dylan, Bill Cosby, Peter, Paul & Mary, Richard Pryor, Jimi Hendrix and many others. Manny tells us about his childhood in Indiana, his stint as a flyer and as a USO show coordinator in WWII, and then about his arrival in Greenwich Village and the start of his cafe and night club empire.
