Oooh! We got a grimy one for ya today. We dive right into the dirt with famed auteur Sam Peckinpah's minor (but still fascinating) work: Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia. Warren Oates leads a quirky cast populated by Mexican sex workers and suspiciously corporate hitmen in this tale of sexual jealousy, work, and morality and we just have a ball talking about it! Topics include: the hosts views on violent cinema, the strange life of “the world's most interesting man” and Peckinpah's friendship with Pauline Kael.

This week, thanks to a Ko-Fi donation from one our listeners, we're talking about Sam Peckinpah's 1978 film CONVOY! Starring Kris Kristofferson, Ali MacGraw, Burt Young, Ernest Borgnine, and more, it was one of Peckinpah's last films and his biggest box office hit - but does it hold up?

El episodio de esta semana tiene un claro protagonista, el director Sam Peckinpah. Este 21 de febrero se ha celebrado el centenario de esterealizador de filmografía no muy larga pero que ha influido decisivamente en muchos cineastas, desde Martin Scorsese a Quentin Tarantino, pasando por John Woo. Además, Jack Bourbon ha elegido analizar esta semana en su sección dedicada al cine del Oeste la que muchos consideran la mejor película de Peckinpah: “Grupo salvaje” un film extremadamente violento y profundamente poético. Del lado nacional tenemos al compositor cinematográfico Arturo Cardelús con el que ha charlado esta semana Elio Castro y también un o de los grandes clásicos del cine español de los años 50: “Marcelino, pan y vino” de cuyo estreno se cumplen 70 años.

In both cases, the resulting film was a commercial disappointment and a critical disaster. What went wrong? Who's fault was it? Do these maligned movies deserve reappraisal?In tribute to the legendary Sam Peckinpah's 100th birthday and the recent passing of the great David Lynch, the Pink Smoke has recruited artist David Lambert and filmmaker Martin Kessler to revisit these two films. Lambert takes us through the history of Peckinpah's 1965 debacle Major Dundee, including how star Charlton Heston almost murdered his hellfire director, while Kessler walks us through the production of 1984's infamously derided adaptation of Dune.  Exclusive "Major Dune-dee" art by David Lambert.

durée : 01:30:02 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Philippe Garbit - Dans "La horde sauvage", Sam Peckinpah actualise et repense les codes du western. Ce film d'action est marqué par sa personnalité, et ses choix de prise de vue et de montage qui intellectualisent la violence, en résonance avec l'époque troublée de sa sortie en 1969. Ciné-club revient sur ce film. - réalisation : Virginie Mourthé - invités : Gérard Camy Professeur et historien du cinéma; Philippe Rouyer Critique et historien de cinéma à la revue Positif; François Causse Co-directeur de la filmothèque du Quartier Latin; Denis Mellier

On this episode of Drive-In Double Feature Podcast, Nathan and Ryan dive into the 1978 action-packed road classic, Convoy! Directed by Sam Peckinpah and inspired by C.W. McCall's hit country song, this cult film rolls out a story of truckers fighting against corrupt law enforcement in a wild convoy across the Southwest. They discuss the cultural impact of the CB radio craze, the rebellious spirit of '70s cinema, and Peckinpah's unique take on the trucker lifestyle. Join us as we explore why Convoy became a quintessential American road movie, its memorable action sequences, and its enduring legacy among fans of both trucking and B-movie action.

A (relatively) in-depth analysis of the 1973 album 'Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid' by Bob Dylan in (just under) fifteen minutes. In this episode I am in discussion with Dr. Andrew Webber.Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid is the twelfth studio album and first soundtrack album by Dylan, released by Columbia Records for the Sam Peckinpah film of the same name. Dylan himself appeared in the film as the character 'Alias'. The soundtrack consists mainly of instrumental music and was inspired by the movie itself. It also includes 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door', which became a trans-Atlantic Top 20 hit. The song was also covered by Eric Clapton and Guns N' Roses. After Peckinpah completed his own cut of the movie, MGM re-cut the film without his input, removing several significant scenes and re-shuffling most of Dylan's music in the process. Peckinpah's film was released to mixed reviews. Years later, critical re-evaluation of Peckinpah's film would lead many to regard it as one of his major works, a revisionist view aided by the restoration of Peckinpah's original cut in 1984.As with Peckinpah's movie upon release, Dylan's album was received unfavourably by most at the time. It has also since undergone critical re-evaluation. I hope you enjoy the podcast and do leave feedback if you like what you have heard.Mathew Woodall

On this trailblazing episode, reporter and historian Robert Nott drops by to discuss Sam Peckinpah's Ride the High Country. Robert is the author of several acclaimed books on Western film history, including The Films of Randolph Scott, Last of the Cowboy Heroes, The Films of Budd Boetticher, and Goin' Crazy with Sam Peckinpah and All Our Friends. His latest book is titled Ride the High Country, and it's the first book to focus exclusively on Peckinpah's poignant 1962 classic. Robert Nott's book, Ride the High Country, is published by the University of New Mexico Press, and is part of the Reel West series, edited by Andrew Patrick Nelson.

The guys kick off another round of retro reviews with one of Joe's favorites, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, a 1970s neo-western from Sam Peckinpah. The discussion evolves into an exploration of Peckinpah's entire oeuvre. Michael also talks about an older beloved western, Joe checks out an unseen Paul Schrader movie, and Jared recommends a recent indie film.

"Because there was once a god who walked the Earth named Warren Oates." - Richard Linklater Friendly, feisty, fresh, and so-very funny, Bright Wall/Dark Room staff writer & contributing editor Travis Woods is as passionate about film as he is endearingly supportive of all who love it. The host & creator of producer Blake Howard's podcast Increment Vice (which took a look at Paul Thomas Anderson's INHERENT VICE one scene at a time), Travis has also contributed physical media commentary tracks &/or video essays for a few of his favorite films of all time, including the recent Imprint Films release of BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA starring his favorite actor (& raison d'être), Mr. Warren Oates. Joining me to preach the gospel of Oates in his thoughtful, sometimes philosophical, & always entertaining laid-back style, my Pandemic Movie Club buddy & I go deep on the films TWO-LANE BLACKTOP, THE HIRED HAND, DILLINGER, COCKFIGHTER, & BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA. Likely just the first installment on Oates since we stuck with the first half of the '70s, fans of the actor will undoubtedly flip for this feature-length conversation on one of both serious cinephiles' & great filmmakers from Peckinpah to Malick's most beloved screen presences.

The writer Brian Abrams, author of the new book "You Talkin' to Me?”: The Definitive Guide to Iconic Movie Quotes, joins me from New York City to discuss Sam Peckinpah and his underrated 1972 rodeo drama Junior Bonner starring Steve McQueen and Joe Don Baker. Right after Peckinpah wrapped on his controversial Straw Dogs in England, he jumped into production on Junior Bonner, a small-stakes character study about an aging rodeo rider (McQueen) who returns to his hometown of Prescott, Arizona to compete for one more victory and to reconnect with his family, including his oafish brother, local real estate developer Curly (Baker) and his estranged parents (Robert Preston and Ida Lupino). It's also the story of the landscape of the American West giving way to the suburban sprawl and exploitation of the modern world, literally being bulldozed all around the Bonner family. As Junior's rodeo star father Ace asks: “If this world's all about winners, what's for the losers?” Dismissed in its day, and somewhat of an outlier in Peckinpah's run of action films in the 1970s, time has been kind to Junior Bonner, which can be appreciated now as a Hangout Movie, three days in the life of an aging rodeo star and a fading way of life, vividly brought to life by Peckinpah and his cast. Plus we discuss Brian's new book, which looks into the origins of hundreds of classic movie lines across American film history, how some lines have entered the lexicon and live on in the culture, and the movie quotes we each have rolling around in our heads.

Episode 355: The Crew's terrified of all these violent children while watching Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch. Peckinpah has lots to say about violence and it's effects in his 1969 Western.

Content warning: Depictions of domestic violence and suicide. THE GETAWAY follows a pretty conventional structure. Depending on how you look at it, that might flatten it a little bit or it might make its jagged edges a little more interesting! Either way, it's worth examining as Sam Peckinpah's most commercially successful movie – and another weird example of his incisive take on toxic masculinity as told through the conceit of a high-stakes heist.

Content warning: Discussions of attempted sexual assault. Reprehensible and unrepentant, BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA trades in the same extensive violence and fragility-masked-by-corruption that became a trademark of director Sam Peckinpah. Running a seedy bar in Mexico City, small-time lowlife Bennie sees a chance to elevate himself above his station when the titular job lands in his lap. His white-collar employers give him just enough rope to hang himself – and his partner, Elita – as they travel the Mexican countryside to deliver the head of a dead man to the crime boss he crossed. In this episode, we discuss seeing ALFREDO GARCIA at the Trylon after so long; Bennie's tenuous, poisonous drive to assert himself over the people and land around him; and the movie's bizarre, humorous, rage-addled final act.

Then, they'll discuss the film itself, covering Dustin Hoffman and Susan George's performances, the ugly nature of this movie, and whether Straw Dogs can be considered a Revengeamatic.

Keith joins Jason and they have an awesome, spirited conversation as always, this time discussing three dead-on classics about the Old West by the movie master, Ride the High Country, The Ballad of Cable Hogue and Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. The guys agree: all three films are great, deeply flawed and fascining as hell as depictions of Peckinpah's inner life, the decine of the Old West, and the ways the perception of heroism evolves and changes over time. We think it's a great listen; hope you agree. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jason-sacks/message

POP ART, WHERE WE FIND THE POP CULTURE IN ART AND THE ART IN POP CULTURE. GO WESTERN, YOUNG MAN: Join me and film producer Colin Vaines (Gangs of New York, Young Victoria, My Week with Marilyn, Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool) as we talk The Wild Bunch/Once Upon a Time in America. First, a mea culpa caveat. There were some technical issues, so at the end, some things were cut short, mainly in how I listed my suggested films, and then I left out what's coming up for me and the podcast. But other than that, it was a great recording venture. “When you side with a man, you stay with him!” Oh, the good old days of the west where it was easy to tell the good buys from the bad guys. The bad guys wore black hats; robbed and killed innocent people; and hated Indians; the good guys wore white hats, brought law and order to the community, and hated Indians …Sounds like it's time for Episode 89 of Pop Art, where we find the pop culture in art and the art in pop culture. It's the podcast where my guest chooses a movie from popular culture, and I'll select a film from the more art/classic/indie side of cinema with a connection to it. For this episode, I am happy to welcome as my guest, producer and filmmaker Colin Vaines, who has chosen as his film the existentialist revisionist western, Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, while I have chosen the more postmodern revisionist western, Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West, both films not just about the changing West, but about the change in Westerns. And in this episode we answer such questions as: Why did the two filmmakers make so few films? What is the connection between the Mexican warlord Mapache and the Oscar statuette? Who dubbed Claudia Cardinale's voice and what is she most famous for? What movie did Lee Marvin turn down The Wild Bunch to do? Dario Argento and Bernardo Bertolucci…together? What did John Wayne say about The Wild Bunch? Why did a French movie projectionist hate Once Upon a Time…? What did Peckinpah do after Robert Ryan wouldn't stop complaining about not getting top billing? What fashion influence did Once Upon a Time… have and what did it have to do with escalators?

Steven Goldman, Craig Calcaterra & Mike Ferrin talk about The Soundtrack to "Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid" and the Sam Peckinpah movie that Dylan appeared in. It's more film review than music review, but, how did Dylan color inside the lines for this assignment?

  Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast encore edition, we are talking to James Coburn, son of, well James Coburn. We spoke with James during the Covid crisis and James was the perfect antidote. We learned about an array fascinating things the younger Coburn shared with us such as: being on the set of Peckinpah film, Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid in Mexico and In Like Flint in Jamaica, his dads love of cars (very fast cars), his good friend Bruce Lee, the Z Channel, a 4 year odyssey in Africa, the Muppets and much much more. Come to think of it, we need to get back with James to talk about the biography he and his wife were working on about his father when we recorded this episode. Maybe it's time for part two if our interview. But for now, take a listen to this interview recorded during the time Covid. Oh so long and not very long ago. You are listening to the Rarified Heir Podcast.  

Heads Up! Oatestober kicks off as Brian is joined by film editor and festival programmer Luke Mullen to discuss arguably Peckinpah's grittiest film: Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia.

Our first Peckinpah...and this one is a doozy - "Straw Dogs". (Ian & Adam rec “Senna”)

VHS EPISODE: BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA **TRIGGER WARNING** THIS FILM HAS  A SCENE OF ATTEMPTED SEXUAL ASSAULT WHICH IS ADDRESSED ON THE EPISODEVHS, in its heyday, was the best way to watch movies. They opened up a generation to movies previously impossible to see if they weren't circulating in movie theaters years and decades after release. You could argue our current nerd culture, where everybody has seen everything, was kickstarted by GEN X getting their hands on previously obscure movies (they definitely gave us Tarantino, anyway; a lot to answer for!) But the technology, compared to our current 8K restored and improved versions was not the best (BETA also kicked its ass). A lot of transfers of older movies to VHS were crappy. Too dark, pan-and-scanned, compressed, color resolution sometimes bordering monochromatic. But in 2022 it IS a visual  aesthetic filmmakers try to recreate to give their films a grimy, unwashed and somehow dangerous feel. BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA (1974) was Sam Peckinpah at his most exhausted. Fresh off the disappointing studio theft of PAT GARETT AND BILLY THE KID, always drunk, high or hungover, he decamped to Mexico to make the one movie he would later say was the only one the studios didn't butcher. It was the movie he set out to make. Old comrade Warren Oates plays what is known to be a clear impersonation of Peckinpah himself, down to even wearing Peckinpah's own dark-as-a-black-hole sunglasses. Sounds great, right?Garcia stands as one of the grimiest, nihilistic movies of the 1970s, itself a decade filled with grimy nihilistic films borne of social unrest, disgust at our institutions and a studio system that had no idea what movies people wanted to see.  One of the miracle movies of the decade.  Desperate people desperately trying to escape their desperate situations. Jack had never see it before and Ken's memories of the film are so entwined with the look of the 1988 VHS version, it makes for a hopping episode.  Garcia may be a film of extreme moral exhaustion and of clear-eyed cynicism of human nature but there is sweetness buried under the muck.  We think? Jack and Ken discuss the making of the film, its legacy, and, most importantly, how the primitive technology of VHS might improve the effect this movie has!Sam Peckinpah is who opens every episode now on our theme song so we had to get one of his movies on here at some point.   THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.

Prince and the Revolution [00:51] "Kiss" Parade Paisley Park 9 25395-1 1986 Everyday someone is born who has never heard Prince's "Kiss" (or seen the video (https://youtu.be/H9tEvfIsDyo)). If that person is you, enjoy! Nadja [04:27] "Dark Circles" Paradox Incubate 15.09.14 Consouling Sounds SOULXXXXIV 2014 Live ambient doom by my favorite duo recorded (https://nadja.bandcamp.com/music) live at Incubate Festival in Amsterdam circa 2014. Blondie [14:34] "Hanging on the Telephone" Parallel Lines Chrysalis CHR 1192 1978 Check out the original Nerves version if you ever have the chance. Witch [16:56] "1000 MPH" Paralyzed Tee Pee Records TPE-085-1 2008 Taking off in a silver machine on this track from the band's follow up album. Black Sabbath [20:18] "Children of the Grave" We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll Warner Bros. Records 2BS 2923 1976 What the...?! This isn't Paranoid. This isn't even Masters of Reality! Why no, someone slipped the second disc of We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll into their Paranoid jacked. Ah well. Always check the contents of those dollar bin records, kids. KC and the Sunshine Band [25:31] "I'm You Boogie Man" Part 3 T.K. Records 605 1976 Can't deny the classics. Number one on the Hot 100 way back in 1977. The B-52's [31:15] "Private Idaho" Party Mix! Warner Bros. Records MINI 3596 1981 The band's debut single remixed for your own private party. You can tell it's a party remix because of the stereo-panned-n-flanged roto-toms.

Bob Dylan [41:16] "Billy 4" Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid Columbia KC 32460 1973 I have a particular soft spot for this Dylan album. The film and soundtrack came into my life at a time when I was becoming increasingly interested in film and aspect ratios like Cinemascope. And also at a time when I was making art that was making art exploring the myth of the American West and native American folklore, especially Old Man Coyote the trickster. In this film and soundtrack we get both the myth of the American West (Billy the Kid) and the trickster (Dylan is nothing if not a trickster). The film itself is a bit of a Peckinpah shaggy dog, but worth the early 70s antihero hubris. I prefer Newman's confused teen Left Handed Gun (https://youtu.be/9BhhGqb6k4I) (another aspect of the myth Billy the kid itself: the infamous daguerrotype in question has reality preserved in reverse) to Kristofferson's avenger (https://youtu.be/a-e47wAkg9g). But with Peckinpah's film you get bonus James Coburn, Slim Pickens, Harry Dean Stanton, and even Rita Coolidge. Bobbie Gentry [47:55] "Billy the Kid" Patchwork Capitol Records ST-494 1971 Speaking of coincidences. From Bobbie's final studio album. Definitely environmental circumstances. The Modern Jazz Quartet [49:57] "A Social Call" Patterns United Artists Records UAL 4072 1960 And now for something completely different from Billy the Kid. Music derived from film cues. Falls of Rauros [54:25] "New Inertia" Patterns in Mythology Gilead Media relic119 2019 Some melodic black metal from this Tolkien-esque band from Portland ME. Music behind the DJ: "Spinning Wheel" by Terry Baxter and his Orchestra

Jackie and Greg swoop in like vultures to pick the meat off "Bloody Sam" Peckinpah's revisionist western from 1969. Topics of conversation include Peckinpah's personal life, Old Hollywood vs. New Hollywood, the film's staginess, the magic of Warren Oates, and why Peckinpah's face deserves to be blasted down off the Mount Rushmore of "Great American Filmmakers". You've never heard them this vicious.#84 on Sight & Sound's "The 100 Greatest Films of All Time" list.https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/greatest-films-all-timeCheck us out at our official website: https://www.sceneandheardpod.comJoin our weekly film club: https://www.instagram.com/arroyofilmclubJP Instagram/Twitter: jacpostajGK Instagram: gkleinschmidtPhotography: Matt AraquistainMusic: Andrew Cox

Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico...it very well may be your last! Our latest look at crime cinema has us trudging through the muck of Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, director Sam Peckinpah's unforgiving neo-western from 1974. But before we descend into oblivion, we load up a Blue Plate Special where we discuss Kathryn Bigelow's appropriately titled Strange Days, parse the latest David Cronenberg release Crimes of the future, and celebrate the dearly departed character acting legend Phillip Baker Hall. Upon eventually taking the off-ramp to Hell, we consider the game changing filmography of Peckinpah, the beauty of Warren Oates, and weigh what exactly today's film in question adds to the genre complexion of New Hollywood's cynicism.
