a wee warning for you, the first part of this podcast we had some technical difficulties where Bradley was unavailable for about 15 minutes while he was working on some connectivity issues, we decided to leave that portion intact, we thought it was worthwhile :-) This is an all-new format we are experimenting with, where we will pull a topic (director, country, year, genre, etc.) and ask each guest to come up with one title that we all watch. This episode we ask our guests John Cribbs and Christopher Funderburg of the great 'The Pink Smoke' website and podcast to give us one title from Japan, Dan and Bradley also join in with a selection of their own.

For Clint Eastwood's 90th birthday, hosts Christopher Funderburg and John Cribbs have each selected one of the actor/director's films to discuss. This Eastwood Double Feature looks at Don Siegel's The Beguiled and Eastwood's own Unforgiven, a pair of films that illustrate why the star-auteur achieved his iconic status while remaining hard to pin down as an artist. The intense hothouse sexual politics of The Beguiled and the irony-soaked destruction (and rebuilding) of myths found in Unforgiven serve as a jumping off point to exploring Eastwood's cinematic legacy, philosophies and elusive politics. It's an unflinching discussion of one of cinema's most towering, embattled, and controversial figures. The Pink Smoke site:

The Pink Smoke welcomes back fan favorite John Arminio for a companion episode to our epic 100 Years of Spy Movies two-parter from last year to discuss the 2018 mini-series The Little Drummer Girl, starring Florence Pugh and Michael Shannon, directed by Park Chan-wook. Adapted from the 1983 novel by John le Carré, it is like most of the famed author's work a taut and intricate web of postwar intrigue and espionage. Set in 1979, it follows the recruitment of an English actress by a seasoned Mossad spymaster to infiltrate a Palestinian bomb-maker's network in order to prevent a potential terrorist attack on London. John himself has recruited his father, Captain Tom Arminio USN Retired, to join host John Cribbs in crossing into the treacherous world of le Carré where morality, identity and personal values are routinely compromised. They discuss the relevance of this 40-year-old story, the culpability of those who choose not to take sides in international conflicts, and the fate of characters who suffer moral injury: having perpetrated, failed to prevent, or witnessed events that contradict deeply held moral beliefs. They also make fun of Diane Keaton's haircut from the little-loved 1984 film adaptation. link to the War Peace and Justice Project https://www.warpeacejustice.org/ Support our Patreon: www.patreon.com/thepinksmoke The Pink Smoke site: www.thepinksmoke.com The Pink Smoke on X: twitter.com/thepinksmoke Intro music: Unleash the Bastards / “Tea for Two” Outro music: Marcus Pinn / “Vegas"

All episodes are made available to Patreon subscribers, the most tender and sensitive of all audiences, one week before their general release. https://www.patreon.com/thepinksmoke We're joined by the great David Lambert to discuss one of the greatest Western subgenres, stories of cattle drives and the swarthy, sweaty men who oversee them! It's an overlooked subgenre despite the fact that from Red River to Lonesome Dove, some of the defining films of the Western genre are about the grueling world of cattle-men. When it comes epic Westerns about terse, determined men pushing themselves to the limit under the biggest skies imaginable, there's few subgenres as likely to deliver. Join hosts Christopher Funderburg and John Cribbs for a lively, comprehensive conversation that sets out to do justice to the suprising breadth of work found in "le cinema de cattle drive," as the French call it. And as always, there's no better guest with whom to discuss Westerns than the bottomlessly knowledgeable Mr. Lambert! This is an incredibly fun journey spanning decades of saddle adventures which make up the western equivalent of the road movie. Questions asked along the way include: Is cattle driving exclusive to men? Who would be your preferred trail boss: Monomaniacal John Wayne from Red River? Reformed gunman Billy Green Bush of The Culpepper Cattle Co.? Tough but fair Glenn Ford in Cowboy? Should anyone under any circumstance have to experience 1951's Vengeance Valley? Join us as we blaze this trail - keep your eyes open for rustlers and we'll meet you back at the chuckwagon.

We close out our first (of 3!!) Planet of the Apes miniseries by tackling an uncomfortable hefty behemoth of a Tertiary Tome: Death of the Planet of the Apes. Clocking in at 450 pages, this touts itself as the story of Col. Taylor's final days, but what it doesn't tell you is that there are 30 other plots. Book is all over the place.

In our new series we invite a different guest for each episode to choose a 1974 movie to talk about, ranging from giant blockbusters to minor cult curios and everything else in between. In this introductory episode, hosts Christopher Funderburg and John Cribbs discuss the idea behind the series and their relationship to movies from the year 1974. They go over the biggest films of the year: which were the most successful in terms of box office, critical success and long-ranging canonization? Why are these movies still relevant 50 years down the line?

The Pink Smoke brigade is back to discuss the movies of 2023. Hosts Martin Kessler, John Cribbs and Christopher Funderburg look back on a year replete with above-average horror films, new works from tenured auteurs and theoretical physicists battling it out at the box office with living dolls. The conversation naturally digs into their personal favorites, including two animated masterpieces, a kaiju showpiece, a surprising amount of mainstream and direct-to-streaming releases, and a new bona fide classic from Brazil.

Support our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thepinksmoke Hosts Christopher Funderburg & John Cribbs are joined by filmmaker & pulp paperback aficionado Steven Sheil to discuss semi-legendary, semi-forgotten crime fiction author Charles K. Williams. The group looks at a pair of nautical thrillers, Aground & its sequel Dead Calm (most famously adapted into the Billy Zane/Sam Neil classic (& also unsuccessfully adapted in yet another Orson Welles production debacle.)) Following the story of a no-nonsense charter boat captain & the charming, irrepressible widow he falls for, the aesthetic/philosophical difference between the books represents the shift happening in pulp crime in fiction of the era: the move from classic hardboiled, masculine stories to psychological thrillers concerned with the inner lives of criminals. It's a fantastic conversation about one of the most successful crime writers of his era, an author undeserving of his slow fade into obscurity.

All episodes are made available to Patreon subscribers, the most tender and violent of all audiences, one week before their general release. {www.patreon.com/thepinksmoke} Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven often comes up in conversation about the greatest Westerns ever made, and even ones about the greatest films of the last 30 years. It served not only as a culmination of Clint's fabled career in cowboy movies but as an austere reflection on 100 years worth of Western cinema, and was lauded as the ultimate revisionist response to a genre that never tackled serious themes of violence and morality or presented a realistic portrait of life on the late 19th century American frontier. But was it really? The Pink Smoke welcomes back artist/historian David Lambert to expand upon the thoughts he presented in his epic Twitter thread examining the minutiae of its script, casting, authenticity, costuming, influences and actual place within the overall Western genre. Unforgiven is a great film, but do people even understand what it's trying to say? Lambert makes a strong case for reappraisal with hosts Christopher Funderburg and John Cribbs. David Lambert's Twitter/X thread that inspired the episode: https://twitter.com/DavidLambertArt/status/1556511206029946880?t=LgtylPHI5v2XdS5FhtDgeg&s=19 The Pink Smoke site: www.thepinksmoke.com David Lambert on X: twitter.com/DavidLambertArt The Pink Smoke on X: twitter.com/thepinksmoke

Support our Patreon: www.patreon.com/thepinksmoke Hosts Christopher Funderburg, John Cribbs & Martin Kessler are joined by legendary poster artist Tony Stella to discuss Jean-Jacques Annaud's 1981 masterpiece Quest for Fire. A personal favorite of both Kessler and Stella, this is one of the most enthusiastic & passionate conversations ever recorded for the podcast. Set 80,000 in the past, Annaud's film, despite being positioned as high-class awards bait in Europe, plays like a rollicking and funny adventure film with more in common with The Vikings or a classic Hollywood swashbuckler than a dour and serious look at humanity's beginning. But while the film is an expression of pure cinematic joy, it's also a serious and thoughtful look at the origins of civilization in terms of science, language, morality, humor & emotion. An exciting conversation about a knockout film!

Support our Patreon: www.patreon.com/thepinksmoke "Central County was a big, rangy county with mountains to the north and mountains to the south and a vast loneliness in between. The mountains were filled with trees and creeks. The loneliness was called the Dead Hills. They were thirty miles wide. There were thousands of hills out there: yellow and barren in the summer with lots of juniper brush in the draws and a few pine trees here and there, acting as if they had wandered away like stray sheep from the mountains and out into the Dead Hills and had gotten lost and had never been able to find their way back...poor trees..." The podcast heads west for this October's horror fiction episode, where they find a couple cowboy killers recruited from a brothel to vanquish a mischievous monster in an isolated mansion out in Eastern Oregon. Richard Brautigan's rugged, experimental, very funny The Hawkline Monster: A Gothic Western begins as a travelogue of turn-of-the-century frontier life and makes a drastic shift to the surreal when the two gunmen (who don't put any lace on their killings) reach their sinister assignment. Artist and American Western history expert David Lambert is on hand to offer his take on whether countercultural cult poet/novelist Brautigan passes muster as a western writer, or if Hawkline Monster is a xerox copy of an audacious literary achievement. Lambert talks with hosts Christopher Funderburg and John Cribbs about the unmistakable Brautigan-ness of the novel, how the book fares when it moves into much stranger territory in its second half, and the fascinating decades-spanning background of multiple failed movie adaptations.

All episodes are made available to Patreon subscribers one week before their general release. www.patreon.com/thepinksmoke The Pink Smoke dives headfirst into the world of American pulp magazines of the 30's & 40's with two tales of derring-do featuring adventurer/scientist/detective/explorer and superhero prototype Doc Savage. Known as the Bronze Man, Savage trots the globe with his fabulous five-man brain trust facing off against all manner of ostentatious villains and colorful henchmen. Doc was the hero of 213 stories from 1933 to 1949, popularized for a new generation when revived as paperbacks between 1964 and 1990. Hosts Christopher Funderburg, Martin Kessler and John Cribbs chose two of them to read and discuss: The Fortress of Solitude and The Devil Genghis, both written by Lester Dent under the by-line "Kenneth Robeson" and published in 1938. Featuring death rays, giant amazon women and one of the most diabolical supervillains ever created who'll stop at nothing short of total world domination, the stories were so filled with action and intrigue it made each host emit a low, mellow growl subconsciously, something like the trilling of a strange bird from the jungle.

What more can possibly be said about Dziga Vertov & Mikhail Kaufman's Man With a Movie Camera, one of the most studied, discussed and written-about films ever made? Is everybody sick of hearing how amazing it is? Perhaps it speaks to the film's timeless artistic energy and bold experimentation that there's always something to say about the camera techniques, radical editing and unique blending of avant-garde and documentary styles which come together using "no titles, no scenario, no actors, no sets" to create an "absolute language of cinema." To help get the best possible insight into this giant artwork, hosts Martin Kessler and John Cribbs welcome Jeremy Workman, a filmmaker who's taken inspiration from Vertov in everything from his award-winning film Lily Topples the World to his latest short documentary Deciding Vote. How has Workman trained his Kino-Eye to the subjects in front of his own movie camera? Is a one hour-long, nearly-100 year old Russian movie's impact so far-reaching that it continues to inspire modern art and filmmaking around the world?

1988 saw the release of two action movies that have become classics of the genre, both of which just happen to have been made by directors named "John" and feature heroes named "John." In a bit of shameless gimmickry, The Pink Smoke's John Cribbs has recruited fellow "John," frequent guest and action movie enthusiast John Arminio for a Patreon-exclusive dive into John McTiernan's Die Hard and John Carpenter's They Live. Cribbs and Arminio have spent hours on The Pink Smoke Podcast going through the James Bond series, but here they examine a more reluctant, blue collar, battle-damaged kind of hero: terrorist-taunting, barefooted, jet-lagged John McClane and alien-spotting, bespectacled, gum-chewing John Nada. Can our host "Johns" find enough common ground between these two iconic warriors to connect the movies beyond their likewise labelled lionhearts? The odds are against them...and that's just the way they like it. This special episode is exclusively available to Pink Smoke patreon subscribers, such as yourself.

PSP: Pulp Fictions covers the "Bond Novel That Never Was" - crime writer Donald Westlake's FOREVER AND A DEATH! Westlake is a favorite author of hosts Christopher Funderburg & John Cribbs so they're at full force in discussing this curious posthumously published work that on the surface seems to have nothing to do with 007.
