"Bueno es saber que los vasos / nos sirven para beber; / lo malo es que no sabemos / para qué sirve la sed", escribe el poeta Antonio Machado en sus "Proverbios y Cantares". Si hemos sido hechos para el Autor y Señor de la vida, no es extraño que al prescindir de Él, no da esa sed para descubrir que solamente en Él podemos ser satisfechos. Eso le dice Jesús a la mujer que encuentra al lado del pozo en el cuarto capítulo de la Buena Noticia según Juan. Tras la sintonía de Ruta 66 por Nat King Cole, escuchamos una canción que hizo Elvis Presley para una película de ambiente desértico (Harum Scarum) con la pregunta de si nuestro amor no será quizás un espejismo (Mirage 1965). Stevie Wonder se plantea también en una de sus "Canciones sobre la clave de la vida" si se podrá "saciar toda nuestra sed" (If It´s Magic 1976). y el cantautor uruguayo Jorge Drexler se asombra en su último disco (Tinta y tiempo 2022) que "el corazón esté siempre sediento". La mujer samaritana que encuentra Jesús nos recuerda a Marilyn. José de Segovia piensa que le diría Él a ella, a la luz de su biografía y las palabras del Evangelio. Escuchamos escenas de la película de Simon Curtis sobre la "Semana con Marilyn" del británico Colin Clark, cuando ella se acababa de casar con el dramaturgo judío Arthur Miller e iba a Inglaterra para hacer una película con el actor shakesperiano Laurence Olivier. Los comentarios son sobre la banda sonora original de Conrad Pope. El cantante y rapero judío de "reggae" Matisyahu pone a veces música a textos bíblicos como el Salmo 63, para hablar de esa sed de Dios (Tzama L´chol Nafshi 2004). La veterana banda mexicana de rock alternativo Cafe Tacvba busca ese "agua clara que sacie la sed que nos persigue" en 2007. Johnny Cash narra la historia literal del Evangelio en "¡Toma agua para beber!" (Have A Drink of Water). Y la popular cantante cristiana de "country" en los 90 nos habla a ritmo de pop de ese "Hambre y sed" (Hunger & Thirst) en 1993. Acabamos el programa con otra versión de la popular canción de Steve Taylor, "Jesús es para perdedores" (Jesus Is For Losers) de su álbum en vivo de 1995. En ella, el hijo del pastor bautista, "enfant terrible" de la "música cristiana contemporánea", confiesa que se "arrastra por un desierto en que ruega al Señor que le lleve a un torrente de agua viva". Y esta fluye "por su Gracia de la sangre del cuerpo roto de Jesús a los píes de la cruz".

The Stars Shine in our review of six new Blu-rays from the Warner Archive. To begin, George Feltenstein takes us through the intricate process of restoring the 1940 Technicolor epic "Northwest Passage," starring Spencer Tracy, discussing the hurdles of working with nitrate negatives and the impressive results. This cinema classic from King Vidor brims with adventure and beautiful landscapes that look better than ever.Our reviews continue as we spotlight Clark Gable and Norma Shearer's unforgettable performances in the 1939 MGM classic "Idiot's Delight." George explains director Clarence Brown's anti-war messaging and details the inclusion of both the international and American endings to the film.Next, we review the 1965 musical "Harum Scarum" starring Elvis in a comedy set in the deserts of Arabia. Gorgeous sets filled with beautiful women plus Elvis' trademark rock'n'roll songs make this a pop hit for Elvis fans. Finally, we shine a light on three forgotten gems that deserve a second look. We start with the 1995 period drama "The Stars Fell on Henrietta" starring Robert Duvall in an unforgettable performance and supporting actors Aidan Quinn, Frances Fisher, and Brian Dennehy. Next, we highlight Sissy Spacek's powerful role in the 1985 film "Marie, A True Story." Directed Roger Donaldson, this film has a terrific script and a wonderful supporting cast that includes Jeff Daniels, Morgan Freeman, and Fred Thompson. And finally, there is the heartwarming 1994 Irish film "War of the Buttons," a gem of a family film that deserves a wider audience.Tune in for an episode brimming with film reviews, restoration insights, and a profound appreciation for cinematic history!

Ryan, Bec and Justin conclude their discussion on 1962's "Girls! Girls! Girls!" losing their minds just a little bit at the twists, turns and amount of songs about fishing in the back half of the movie, but have a ton of fun discussing such famous scenes as "Return to Sender," "Song of the Shrimp" and "The Walls Have Ears" as well as pondering the deleted sequence "I Don't Want To." Ryan has to bow out for Song of the Week, but Bec pushes forward with the movie songs theme, making a case for "Animal Instinct" from 1965 "Harum Scarum". On the other hand, Justin spotlights the less-familiar "Girl of Mine" from the 1973 Stax sessions - which came from the pens of British songwriters more known for writing for Tom Jones and Englebert Humperdinck; so much so that Englebert himself did a version of this country-flavored pop ballad before Elvis!

Viva Pod Vegas returns with Harum Scarum, which seems (unfortunately) to be Elvis's cinematic career low. But if this is the low point... things really aren't so bad overall? It's one of the shortest movies we've had so far -- and still filled with padding -- and its backstory is filled with tonal confusion and creative burnout. We discuss all that as well as its incredible opening scene, its seeming refusal to explain its plot, and its cultural insensitivities. We wonder if they could have leaned into a full parody of Elvis movies, discuss how much James Bond influence can be found in Harum Scarum, and why Elvis keeps falling asleep to be awoken by a kiss. We talk about Elvis's sultry song to an 8-year-old girl and his singing via reflecting pool. Joey's hair blindness rears its ugly head. We look ahead to Frankie and Johnny (and other upcoming episodes).
The time has come, at last, for Viva Pod Vegas to get to (perhaps) Elvis Presley's weirdest movie title yet: Tickle Me. We talk about the misleading title (and the original [bad] title, too), read some emails, and make some Scooby Doo connections. We describe Tickle Me's almost inexplicable plot, explore its six (!) taglines and largely unknown cast, and wonder why *this* was the movie that Elvis won an award for. We talk about Elvis continually disrupting everything by singing songs, his duet with a horse, and his many (many) fights. We break down Elvis as a rodeo rider, a Deadwood-era performer, and a mind reader (?). Joey shares his issues with the way this movie plays out, while Mike has ideas on how to easily make it better. We explore the concept of "movie says so," discuss restarting Viva Pod Vegas after we wrap up its initial run, and predict Harum Scarum -- which we had way, way wrong.
Bec joins Justin for a very loose, silly, and not-remotely-serious discussion about some of our least favorite Elvis songs and performances. Not "the worst," just some of the ones that don't hit us in quite the same way they might hit everyone else. The subject is so spirited that there are both giggle fits and strong disagreements! For Song of the Week, Justin revisits one of the songs he featured on his very first "least favorite" list, and makes amends with "Golden Coins" from the "Harum Scarum" soundtrack. Bec, on the other hand, calls attention to an unironically passionate and thrilling 1970 vocal turn from Elvis on the very underrated "The Sound of Your Cry" and its session outtakes (coincidentally, both songs this week are from the SAME songwriters!!)

We're back with a brand new episode of Viva Pod Vegas, and we're talking all about Kissin' Cousins! (Hoo boy.) After briefly discussing how the movie passes Joey's one ask of Elvis movies, we share lots of Elvis news before Mike vamps about Joey's cats and then reads between the lines of the movie's taglines. We try to make sense of Kittyhawks, discuss why Elvis hated this movie, and wonder why it decides to begin in such a misleading way. We talk about the Elvis movie charm NOT working (for once!), what "kissin' cousins" means, and why this movie seems more pro-polygamy (and hornier) than his other movies. We look ahead to Harum Scarum, learn lessons from the titular song "Kissin' Cousins," and plan for the (long distant) future of the podcast. Also: Batgirl is back, girl.

For the first episode of 2022, Justin and Gurdip catch up on a month's worth of listener emails and messages, and dig into any topics that happen to come up, from Seattle landmarks remaining from the 1962 World's Fair to everyone's input on "It's Easy for You" and everything in between. Plus there's a brief & unexpected return of Trivia as Justin quizzes Gurdip on TCBCast's 2021 stats. For Song of the Week, Gurdip heads down into the bayou to "New Orleans," the bluesy King Creole soundtrack cut inspired by the city of its setting, while Justin charts a course to Lunarkand to shine a light on "Wisdom of the Ages," the song cut from Harum Scarum and gets existential about the sands of time running out ahead of our big 200th episode!

Murph's out of town this week (well, further out of town than usual). The rest of The Cru get a little... hare-brained in his absence. Stories run the gamut from crazy cat ladies to Joan of Arc, with a healthy does of Stepford disturbia for good measure. IF your podcast provider does not support chapters, you can skip to 1:33 for the banter; 11:03 for Krispy's story; 24:48 for WebEater's; and 36:35 for The Lotus'. From Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable: Harum Scarum. Giddy, hare-brained, or a person so constituted. The term perhaps comes from 'hare,' 'to harass,' and 'scare,' a form of 'stare,' with a possible additional allusion to the madness of a March hare.
Just another Tuesday to help us get by the week, and with Scooby Doo by our side i gather things can't get any better than that.

First up this week is a farewell to the heartbeat of the TCB Band: the incomparable Ronnie Tutt, who passed away this week. Then, inspired by TCBCast Patreon supporters' recent topic suggestion covering The Milton Berle Show, Justin & Gurdip head right into Elvis' next TV appearance on The Steve Allen Show on July 1, 1956 (as well as briefly touch on his appearance on Hy Gardner Calling later that night.) In suit and tails, singing to a basset hound and later as "Tumbleweed Presley," the guys mull over whether it was really as bad as people have made it out to be in the intervening decades, including Elvis himself. Then, for Song of the Week, Justin spotlights the highly overlooked "There Is No God But God" which was sourced from Ink Spots lead singer Bill Kenny. Gurdip, beyond all sense and reason, tries to make a case for "Hey Little Girl" from Harum Scarum. Justin tries harder than the song deserves to give it a fair reading based on his knowledge of how Elvis's films were constructed but still comes up short, despite Gurdip's insistence on liking it. Featured Songs of the Week: Justin: There Is No God But God Gurdip: Hey Little Girl
It's the one you've all been waiting for I'm sure. Even most die-hard fans will agree that this is pretty much rock bottom, cinematically, for Elvis. We agree. At least we can put it behind us. Given that we've got yet another movie appropriating a culture, Morgan gets to talkin' about orientalism. Matt discusses the crucial difference between a good bad movie and a movie that's just bad. Also there's a sizeable tangent where we discuss The Thin Man film series and Dashiell Hammett as a writer.

Where your heroes try to redeem Harum Scarum from 1965!
We're going to drop the third person pretense for this episode description. This week, we're review "Elvis From Outer Space," which is dropping on digital distribution platforms like Amazon and Apple on July 7, 2020. We were very graciously granted access to a pre-release screener by the distribution company. If you want, you can check the film out as it launches the same day this podcast is released. As you will hear in this episode, we had very strong reactions to the film. First, we uncover that the film is a new version of an older film that had already been released a decade ago. Then, as we dig into the movie itself, I (Justin) am left speechless and offended. Gurdip is exasperated by the plot. This may actually be the worst Elvis-related movie we've ever watched. However, we take time to give credit where it's due to certain performers and aspects of the film, and to credit the filmmakers for the accomplishment of having made the film at all. We know getting an independently-produced film made is both hard, and personal. We sincerely thank the distribution company for the opportunity to view and review the film and genuinely wish everyone associated with the film the best of luck on their future endeavors. For Song of the Week, Justin wants to forget about this space-themed movie, so he picks "Let's Forget About the Stars" from 1968. Gurdip, on the other hand, goes all in on the theme of "Bad Elvis Movie" and highlights Elvis' performance of "So Close Yet So Far" from the 1965 film "Harum Scarum"... which in retrospect is quite an objectively enjoyable viewing experience.
The gang attempts to visit Niagara falls, but end up spending the night in a haunted sanitarium in... CANADA AHHHHHH
In this thrilling conclusion to the review of Harum Scarum, Justin loses it to "Golden Coins," discuss the aftermath of the film's release, and the TCBCast team finally answers whether they think this is Elvis' Worst Movie. (Spoiler: You might be surprised!) For Song of the Week, guest host Ryan Droste picks a near-miss Springsteen song that could have been an Elvis classic, Gurdip tackles a country-rock hit from '61 and Justin closes the episode highlighting one of Elvis' biggest post-50s rockers. Featured Songs of the Week: Gurdip: Little Sister Justin: (You're the) Devil in Disguise Ryan: Fire (Bruce Springsteen/Pointer Sisters)
As most people know, in 1965, famous movie star-singer Johnny Tyrone was kidnapped while visiting the Middle Eastern country of Lunarkand before mysteriously arriving safely back in the United States a few days later. But very few people know the true story of what actually happened on that trip. Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act (and MGM), TCBCast has uncovered an amazing true tale of espionage, adventure, romance, political intrigue and attempted assassinations, all covered up by the government for over 50 years. Show regular Ryan Droste joins us for this historic episode of TCBCast.
This week four teens and their dog try their best to leave the Great White North to return to the Land of the Free, Home of the Brave. Their adventures are recapped by an American and a Canadian who embody the truth that, regardless of nation, you can't put a tariff on friendship. Having just wished a happy birthday to the country north of the 49th Parallel, there are just two short days from the release of this episode until the latter's. After that's passed, all you can really do is live your best life. Ain't no birthdays, least that's what you're dressed like.
More Bad Apples - Goin' Coconuts Season 1 Episode 7 There's only one immediate comparison: remember the eager anticipation, the excitement of the wait leading up to the release of STAR WARS, EPISODE 1: THE PHANTOM MENACE? And then the crushing disappointment, the almost-embarrassment you felt when you actually saw THE PHANTOM MENACE? The movie was so bad it made you question your love for everything that came before (even THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK); the hurt that was felt after seeing THE PHANTOM MENACE even made you wonder "Why the hell did I give a pass to those teddy bears in THE RETURN OF THE JEDI?"). So, now, it is with GOIN' COCONUTS. Join VHS Rewind as Chris & Mark express their shock and dismay (yes, shock & dismay!) at the results of Donny & Marie's one and only (!) foray in major motion pictures. On this episode of VHS Rewind, Chris & Mark will explain with utter sadness why GOIN' COCONUTS fails to rise to the level of even the worst Elvis Presley vehicle (its not even as good as HARUM SCARUM, and that's saying something), and also why the filmmakers behind GOIN' COCONUTS are not even as talented as those filmmakers responsible for even the worst porn film (the cinematography of GOIN' COCONUTS is not even as good as the cinematography in the Misty Mundae-starring LORD OF THE G-STRINGS and that's saying something!). We hope you will give a listen to this episode of VHS Rewind and, if you, dear listener, have seen GOIN' COCONUTS, we hope you will send us your opinions on the movie as VHS Rewind would love to hear from you all...
Last season we ended the show watching Revenge of the Ninja (http://revengeofthe.ninja/) where guest Arden chose a random page number from Videohound’s Complete Guide to Cult Flicks & Trash Pics. The idea was that we would watch a film from the page he chose. What luck! On that page was Weird Al Yankovic’s UHF Where can you watch this film? And for once we recommend it. Buy the Blu-ray 25th Anniversary edition. Stream it on - Amazon iTunes Coincidentally, there probably aren’t any UHF stations where you can watch UHF. Check your local listings! This episode we’re joined by Sally from Sallyannk.com. During the episode she talks about the upcoming One Spark competition. As of posting this show we know she placed 9th in her category! Chris appeals to Cracker Jack to sponsor the show. UHF had heavy competition in 1989. We decided that Weird Al needs one of Sally’s beanies. It’s a good price, get one for yourself! Paul’s first cassette ever? Alapalooza. The film has an amazing story when it comes to its video release. Check out the “Legacy” section of the Wikipedia entry. Supposedly the movie was loosely based on The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, a Danny Kaye film based on a short story. Ben Stiler stars in the remake. You do not have permission to use a real oscar in your silly film! So here’s a bashful, gold statue. Everyone needs a Nash Metropolitan. The undisputed king of sandwiches. Weird Al builds a mountain of mashed potatoes a la Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Is that the Inspector Gadget villain again? Victoria Jackson shows up in the film. She sticks to her lines and thankfully doesn’t accuse Obama of being a communist. Crispin Glover was offered the role of the janitor, but turned it down. They also tried to get Christopher Llyod. Michael Richards from Seinfeld is crazy young and one of the best parts of the film, the janitor. Chris thinks Fran Drescher looks like a Swatch watch in her dress. It’s a Film Frown alum! Billy Barty is the camera man at the station. We saw him in Harum Scarum. One of the great surrealist comedians, Emo Philips has a hilarious bit in the film. The Spatula City commercial entertains us all. The movie says it’s time to show a Weird Al video. Beverly Hillbillies. Chris loves Weird Al’s take on Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner. Wheel of Fish? No you don’t get a clip because we’ve already spoiled enough in these notes. Trinidad Silva is amazing in this film. His character has an “animal kingdom” TV show on the public access station Al manages. Unfortunately, he died in a car accident before shooting ended and the film is dedicated to him. “You get a drink from the fire hose!” That’s the iconic line and scene from this movie. Where does the “We don’t need no stinkin’ badges!” line come from? The book The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and its 1948 film. Weird Al parodies The Geraldo Rivera Show. In the TV station there’s a Thing With Two Heads poster. The bizarre but lovable bum in the film was played by Vance Colvig Jr.. He was one of the first Bozo the Clowns. Of course there has to be a Rambo parody. Anthony Geary from General Hospital plays Philo, named after inventor Philo Farnsworth. Weird Al’s character is named George Newman in a nod to Alfred E. Neuman the mascot of Mad magazine. Sally wants more Weird Al movies. We found these interviews he did for the Nerdist network. Where’s the commentary in streaming? If you’re interested you can find some commentary in films using VHX.tv to distribute digitally. David Cross’s new film Hits has an option to get bundled extras. Paul also mentions that iTunes has Extras available for some films as well. Sally choses another page from the cult movie book! Next season we have to watch Tower of London, Top Secret! or Touch of Evil. Stay tuned after the ending theme song - we do some bonus talk about Weird Al trivia and copyright, as well as catch up with Sally’s adventures in up-cycling / recycling / repurposing goods through hand (not mine) crafting. And a double-bonus track at the very end, Paul talks with his daughter Evie just before the show starts. Thanks for listening! And thanks for taking time to join us again, Sally! Up next, 1995’s Waterworld. Support Film Frown on Patreon
A production coordinator from Hollywood, Jil Szewski talks to Paul and Chris about working shows, unions, the long hours, and practical jokes on imdb. Chris has learned “What do you do?” is a bad question thanks to reading our last guest, Nicole Bélanger. Jil is currently working on Whose Line Is It, Anyway? (Content not available in Canada, peep this instead.) GVSU Alumni reunion for those cats interested. Experimental film featuring bug parts, Mothlight. You can probably find it on Youtube. Maya Deren’s rad experimental film, Meshes of the Afternoon. Again, you can probably find it on Youtube. Jil had the awkward task of finding Christmas decorations in the summer when she worked on A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas. We learn that web series are very big right now in Hollywood. Chris recommends Chef, but Jil who worked on the film, warns that it will make you very hungry. Paul is currently watching Arrow and The 100. Chris is watching Helix, Supernatural, 12 Monkeys and he’s waiting for Orphan Black and Silicon Valley to start up again. Jil went to the wrap party for season 2 of Silicon Valley where they showed a gag reel and she said it looks really good! Aren’t 5 stars better than 1? Michigan had a film incentive (you can read more about it here), but then it ended and now some folks are trying to get it going again. Jil’s fiance worked on HBO’s True Detective which is a very good show. Jil schools Chris & Paul on the various unions and the requirements to join. Chris admits his only understanding of Hollywood unions comes from Full Tilt Boogie. Resident bad movie lover Chris is sad when Jil reveals that her uncredited acting credit for Avalanche Sharks on imdb.com is a joke played on her by some friends. Jil loves Elvis! Chris wishes she was on the Harum Scarum episode of Film Frown to recommend some decent Elvis films. Thanks again to our guest Jil! Be sure to check out her current show, Whose Line Is It, Anyway? And thanks to you for listening. Support Montreal Sauce on Patreon
It’s time for the better half of the podcast! That’s right, Tina & Colette join their husbands to watch an Elvis picture! Where would bad movies be without bad musical numbers? Elvis is the king, but in Harum Scarum he could have been replaced by a wet blanket and no one would notice. This film lacks energy, not to mention acting, plot and choreography. Want to watch the film (at your own risk)? You can purchase it on YouTube. Otherwise it’s so bad that it isn’t currently available on Amazon, Netflix or iTunes. Check canistream.it to see if things have changed since this podcast was posted. Tina’s favorite musical is Phantom of the Opera, while Colette enjoys The Pirates of Penzance. Chris shares that he is not a musical fan unless in cartoon form. Paul enjoys Les Misérables, not to mention when TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer decide to do musical episodes. This season, Supernatural did a musical episode as well. As the old Eddie Murphy joke goes (NSFW), Elvis sings all his lines because he can’t act. Colette points out that if you look up harum scarum on Thesaurus.com, the words listed are a pretty good review of the film. 3 songs in the first 6 minutes of the film? YouTube can give you a sampling of the songs & their silly lyrics. Billy Barty has a mostly non-speaking role in the film. Very common in his early career. You’ll recognize him because he’s been in tons of stuff. One of our live listeners, hollow, “swears they’re just picking random numbers” in the script. A country unchanged for 2000 years, and yet they have Islamic holidays like Feast of Ramadan? In today’s world, Hey Little Girl seems creepy because he’s propositioning a 7yr old girl. Though, our parents assure us nobody would have thought this was inappropriate when this film came out in 1965. Paul spoils Scooby-Doo for all the listeners. The fight scenes are part parkour, part Zoidberg and part Urkel. Tina says this film was bad and would rather watch A Boy and His Dog again. Movies recommended this show, Singing in the Rain, Goonies, Zardoz and The History of Future Folk. Currently on the Netflix is The Machine. Always a pleasure to have Tina’s quick wit & Colette’s perceptive mind on the show. See you next season! Support Film Frown on Patreon
