The 1970s going into the early 1980s are generally regarded as a purple patch of Australian cinema – The Australian New Wave. Film makers had financial support. Audiences wanted to see their own backyard on the big screen (before bloody cultural cringe set in again). There were films that focused on T&A and machismo, there were a lot of period pieces, and there were tales of crime. The films weren't always successful, but there was a spirit about them that's still exciting. Audiences recognised themselves in film (although they denied it when Wake In Fright came out). So, where does Oz: A Rock 'n; Roll Road Movie (aka 20th Century Oz) fit in? Where does an adaptation of The Wizard of Oz that sees Dorothy as a groupie who dreams she's on a highway headed for the big city to see a concert featuring The Wizard with a surfer, a mechanic and a biker as her company actually stand in the canon of local 70s cinema? Welcome to Love That Album episode 149. Why am I starting the blurb for a music discussion podcast with a description about movies? Especially in reference to a film that's already been discussed on the See Hear Podcast (episode 33...hint hint) Well, the film has a soundtrack, you see...... Previous LTA interview subject Sarah Carroll and her son George Carroll Wilson are both huge fans of the film. I invited them onto the show to talk about the soundtrack. Of course, you can't really discuss a soundtrack without reference to the film itself. We also had a lengthy discussion about the Australian music scene of the period, the history behind the key players involved with the music and the film (Ross Wilson and Chris Lofven), and of course the music itself and how it worked in the context of the story. BUT WAIT....THERE'S MORE..... One of the exciting thing about the soundtrack of Oz is that it features the debut of a band that became very big in the late 70s, Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons. This episode features an interview with ex-Falcon Wayne Burt who wrote their songs for this film. I was rapt to speak to someone in the thick of it from the period. My huge gratitude to Sarah, George and Wayne for making this such a fun show to record. You can find out more about Sarah at https://www.sarahcarrollstarparade.com/ George's music is available at Bandcamp https://pollyman.bandcamp.com/music Until Umbrella chooses to re-release the film on DVD / blu-ray, it's on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATiiOGg_ZyQ ….and you can search out the See Hear episode with myself, Bernie, Tim and the Projection Booth's Mike White discussing Oz downloading from https://seehearpodcast.blogspot.com/2020/05/see-hear-podcast-episode-33-oz-rock-n.html Download this episode of LTA from Spotify, Stitcher or iTunes (search for “Love That Album podcast”)....or wherever you prefer getting your podcasts.

We continue Burt Reynolds Month with an entry into Reynold's rather large catalog of cop films that stands out since Reynolds himself directing it: Sharky's Machine. Starring Reynolds and a cavalcade of fantastic character actors, Reynolds plays the titular Sharky, a disgraced cop who stumbles upon a political conspiracy. With some strange choices, both style, and substance, it's more than just a cop film, for both the good and bad. Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallager, screenwriter Richard Hatem, and The Projection Booth's Mike White join Chris to talk about the film, the cast, and its strange sense of style.

We kick off the second annual Jess Byard June with a look at one of Ralph Bakshi's more infamous works and the first animated film to be rated X: Fritz the Cat. Featuring Skip Hinnant as the titular feline, it follows the exploits of Fritz as he stumbles from one awkward scenario to another, taking the piss out of the '60s at the same time. It's a satire first and foremost but lacks a strong narrative structure to pair with some biting commentary. The Projection Booth's Mike White and film critic Josh Stewart joins Chris to talk about the film, Bakshi's other works, and the sequel.

We end our second annual Indian Cinema Month with another team-up between Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol as they once again fall in and out of love in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. SRK and Kajol play two best friends who become embroiled in a love triangle that spans nearly a decade. It's similar to DDLJ with some pacing issues but manages to succeed thanks to the chemistry between the leads. Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley and The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film, the leads, and it's comparisons to DDLJ.

As we continue to look at important films that Chris has never seen, we come upon a film considered to be one of the greatest films of all time: Citizen Kane. Written, starring, and directed by Orson Welles, it tells the story of Charles Kane, a media magnate whose life seems to be as out of control as it is grand. The film is as technically impressive as it is well written as it is well-acted and deserves to be part of the conversation for the greatest film ever. The Projection Booth's Mike White and Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley join Chris to talk about the film if it's the greatest film ever, and Orson Welle's career.

We end Mike White March with a film that pushed the Hayes Code at the time and continues to offer an intriguing look at the lengths one woman will go to get what she wants: Baby Face. Featuring Barbara Stanwyck as the titular character, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and self-realization within the world of 1930's finance. It pushes the boundaries of what was acceptable at the time and is still worth checking out today. The Projection Booth's Mike White and On Seagal's Trevor Gumbel join Chris to talk about the film, Stanwyck's performance, and the month as a whole.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We take another break from Mike White March to watch the second film in the HBOMax home streaming experience: Godzilla vs. Kong. Featuring the two titular characters, it also stars a handful of human actors trying to understand why the two monsters are fighting. It's another lackluster entry in a mediocre connected universe. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk all about the entire Monsterverse, where it goes from here, and why Kong isn't a King.

We take a break from Mike White March to take an extended look at a film that many of us thought didn't exist let alone would ever see the light of day: Zack Snyder's Justice League. A completely recut, reshot version of Joss Whedon's disaster, it tells the story of the formation and early trials of the titular Justice League. It's a film whose journey to existence is more exciting than the film's plot but it still manages to entertain even with a four-hour run time. The Projection Booth's Mike White and 12:01 Beyond's Josh Hadley join Chris to talk all about the two films, the controversy behind it, and where DC goes from here.

We near the end of Mike White March with a look at a film that pushes the boundaries of what was acceptable in cinema at the time: Three on a Match. Featuring Anne Dvorak, Joan Blondell, and Bette Davis, the three play friends reunited after years apart whose lives spiral out of control after their chance meeting. It features drug addiction, suicide, and child abuse; oh boy! The Projection Booth's Mike White and Dark Destination's Father Malone join Chris to talk all about the film, Cagney's performance, and the history of the Hayes Code.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We come to the halfway point of Mike White March with a pre-Code film that stars one of the eras indomitable stars James Cagney: Blonde Crazy. With Cagney in the lead as Bert Harris, it follows his quick-thinking bellboy as he schemes his way across the United States trying to win over Joan Blondell. It's another fantastic entry in an already solid Mike White March. The Projection Booth's Mike White, Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallagher, and screenwriter Richard Hatem join Chris to talk all about the film, Cagney's performance, and the history of the Hayes Code.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We continue Mike White March with a film that not only nabbed its lead an Academy Award but also features a wild opening that has to be seen to be believed: The Divorcee. Starring Norma Shearer as the titular divorcee, she spends the film falling in and out of love with her husband and bevy of would-be callers. It's a film that straddles the line between drama, comedy, and pre-code era euphemisms with ease, even if the ending is a bit disappointing. The Projection Booth's Mike White and Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard join Chris to talk all about the film, Shearer's performance, and its bizarre ending.

Every March, we turn the programming over to our good friend Mike White from The Projection Booth, and this March is no different with a look as we focus on Pre-Hayes Code films starting out with the fantastic Jewel Robbery. Starring William Powell and Kaye Francis, the two play a jewel thief and a wealthy heiress who cross paths during the titular jewel robbery. It's a fantastic example of what it means for a film to be "pre-code" along with having fantastic chemistry between the two leads. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the leads, the MPAA, and the rest of the month. You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We end Noiruary with an adaptation of a Chester Himes novel that puts a decidedly absurdist spin on the hard-boiled noir genre in the Bill Duke directed A Rage in Harlem. Starring Forest Whittaker and Gregory Hines, the film follows the two estranged brothers as they attempt to get one the woman of his dreams and the other a chest full of gold. The film meshes comedy with a heavy dash of bloodshed in a film that is as good as any Himes' adaptation gets. DC Titan's Richard Hatem, The Projection Booth's Mike White, and Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallagher join Chris to talk about the performances, the comedy, and the strange tone.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We take a break from Disney Channel Originals to do our first joint podcast with The Projection Booth to talk about one of the greatest film trilogies of all time, and it just happens to be about time: The Bill and Ted Trilogy! The Projection Booth's Mike White and film critic Josh Steward join Chris to talk about all three films, the tv show, the cartoons, and so much more. Along the way, they'll be joined by Bill Sadler (Death), Alex Winter (Bill), and screenwriter Chris Matheson to dissect, discuss, and talk all about the time-traveling duo's adventures.

As we near the end of Disney Channel Originals Month, we take a look at a film that may exist solely to sell tons of CDs: Camp Rock. Starring Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers, the film follows Demi Lovato as Mitchie, a talented young singer who attends the titular camp to further her musical training. At the camp, she learns to find herself and becomes romantically entangled with one of the Jo Bros. Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley and The Projection Booth's Mike White join Chris to talk about the film's music, the JoBros acting, and a certain piece of insane IMDb trivia.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We continue Body Swap December with a look at one of the few new films to actually come out of 2020: Freaky. Coincidentally also a body swap film, it follows Kathryn Newton as a nebbish high schooler who accidentally swaps bodies with a local serial killer hellbent on staying in her body forever. Originally titled Freaky Friday the 13th, it's a mash-up of every body swap trope imaginably plus a heavy-handed dash of horror fan service to boot. Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard and The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film, the state of horror in 2020, and its similarities to other Blumhouse films.

We continue Fantasy Film November with a sequel to the original Babe that shirks all conventions of typical sequels by going completely off the wall and putting the titular pig in the big city in Babe: Pig in the City. Starring a boatload of talented voice actors, it follows Babe as he is transplanted to the city due to unfortunate circumstances and must figure out a way to save the family farm. It's not at all what you're expecting in the best way possible. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film, why it took so long for them to watch it, and its designation as a modern "cult classic".You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

With You've Never Seen September in the rearview mirror, we kick off the 6th annual Horrortober with a focus on Aussie horror films and a look at Thirst, an Australian take on vampires. Starring Chantal Contouri, the film follows her as the descendant of Elizabeth Bathory, one of history's most infamous "vampires" as a shadowy organization attempts to gaslight her into joining them. It's an interesting film that has some good ideas but doesn't exactly stick the landing. The Projection Booth's Mike White and Diabolique's Heather Drain join Chris to talk about the film, the usage of vampire lore, and Bathory's influence on pop culture.

You've Never Seen September continues with a look at yet another film featuring Geena Davis; however, she's criminally wasted in the Dow Chemical Company-produced Transylvania 6-5000. Starring Jeff Goldblum and Ed Begley Jr. as two intrepid reporters who are tasked with going to Transylvania to find out if found footage of Frankenstein is real, and if it is, what the monster is up to. Once they arrive, the story goes completely off the rails with "vampires," "wolfmen," and not a laugh throughout the film. The Projection Booth's Mike White and OughtFiveFilm's Father Malone join Chris to talk about the film, it's lack of comedy and Geena Davis' outfit. You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We near the end of Indian Cinema August with a drastic departure from the month's previous films as it plays in the sandbox of the crime genre: Parinda. Starring Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff as two brothers on different sides of the law, it follows Kapoor's Karan's return to India only to find his brother, Shroff's Kishan, has been supporting him through a life of crime. It's a Mumbai underworld film that still features all the expected tenets of Indian cinema. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the heartbreaking film, the musical numbers, and how it fares against others in the genre.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We continue Steven Seagal July with Seagal's second foray into not only kicking ass but also protecting the environment all while wearing a Nehru jacket in the country-western singer filled Fire Down Below. Starring the Corn Dog Master himself, he plays Jack Taggart, an EPA agent tasked with taking down Kris Kristofferson, an evil businessman hell-bent on poisoning a rural Kentucky town. If it sounds like On Deadly Ground that's because it's eerily similar to that film in more ways than one could count. The Projection Booth's Mike White and Diabolique's Heather Drain join Chris to talk about more about Seagal's lack of charisma, all the film's singers, and finally put to bed a long-running joke.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

It's the end of the second annual Jess Byard June, and we end the month with another Ken Russell film based on the life of a real person: Valentino. Starring Rudolf Nureyev as the Rudolph Valentino, the film follows his rise to fame from lowly gigolo to one of the silent age's most famous leading men. While the film never really subverts biopic expectations, it does just enough to justify a watch. Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard, The Projection Booth's Mike White, and artist Maggie the Odd join Chris to talk about Valentino, Ken Russell's filmography, and biopics in general.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We end Sexploitation Spring with a look at one of Michael Findlay's classics of the genre that blends both sex and violence: The Ultimate Degenerate. Starring writer/director Michael Findlay as a voyeur who runs a harem of women that are all kept in a permanent state of horniness for his pleasure. It's just one in a long line of Findlay's iconic sexploitation entries that revolutionized the genre as a whole. Diabolique's Heather Drain and The Projection Booth's Mike White to join Chris to talk about the film, Michael Findlay's filmography, and the sexploitation genre as a whole.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We end Blaxploitation April with a film that takes all the previous films, throws them in a blender, and you've got Three The Hard Way. Starring Jim Kelly, Jim Brown, and Fred Williamson, the trio attempt to thwart a racist plot to kill the populations of three major US cities by poisoning the water supply. It's a mix of kung-fu, action, and humor, with three of the most charismatic leads in blaxploitation's history. The Projection Booth's Mike White and MondoHeather's Heather Drain join Chris to talk all about the charismatic trio, blaxploitation's Mount Rushmore, and why there are so few contemporary blaxploitation films.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We near the end of Blaxploitation April with a film that could be considered a mix between Bruce Lee and blaxploitation: Black Belt Jones. Jim Kelly stars as the titular Jones who hefty with protecting his local dojo from mobsters hell-bent on tearing it down. It's an exciting mix of kung-fu and comedy with a heavy helping of blaxploitation for good measure. The Projection Booth's Mike White and Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard join Chris to talk all about Jim Kelly, his kung-fu exploits, and a particular beach chase scene.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We continue Blaxploitation April with a look at one of the many Pam Grier vehicles that would define her career: Coffy. Grier stars as the titular character who, after having a sister overdose on heroin, goes on the warpath to take clean the streets of drug dealers, pimps, and crooked politicians. It's another excellent entry into the filmography of Grier, who is widely considered to be one of the finest actors of the genre. The Projection Booth's Mike White and Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard join Chris to talk all about Pam Grier, her iconic career, and the cinematic plagiarist Quentin Tarantino.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

With Mike White March squarely in the rearview mirror, we kick off Blaxploitation April with a look at the only time singer Isaac Hayes was given the starring role, Truck Turner. The aforementioned Hayes stars as the titular skiptracer who, after killing a bounty, must evade all sorts of villains through the mean streets of '70s LA. Not only is it better than Shaft, but it's also better than most big-budget action films made in the 21st century with a slapping soundtrack to boot. The Projection Booth's Mike White and OughtFiveFilm's Father Malone join Chris to talk all about Isaac Hayes, the film's fantastic music, and where it ranks in blaxploitation cinema. You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We round out Mike White March with one last journey into the post-apocalyptic future hellscape of eastern Europe with a look at Konstantin Lopushanskiy's A Visitor to a Museum. At times more of an art piece, it follows the titular visitor as he attempts to reach the museum, the resting place of the remnants of previous civilizations. It's another dour look into a possible future for humanity that pulls no punches. The Projection Booth's Mike White and The One Season Show's Jess Byard join Chris to talk about the film, where it ranks in the other films from the month, and what April holds.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We near the end of Mike White with a look at yet another film whose topic hits a tad too close too home: Bunker Palace Hôtel. Directed by Enki Bilal, the film follows a group of wealthy people who, after a rebellion, sequester themselves inside the titular hotel, only to find everything isn't as it seems. Written by two comic book creators, it's an at-times interesting but mostly disappointing experience that never lives up to its premise. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the movie, its connections to modern tv shows, and the disappointing climax.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We continue Mike White March with a look at another film that hits way too close to home in our current situation: Dead Man's Letters. Directed by Konstantin Lopushanskiy, an acolyte of Tarkovsky, the film follows the world post-apocalypse as a man attempts to keep the faith and be positive in light of tremendous odds. It's an attempt at levity in oddly coincidentally dark times. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the movie, Tarkovsky's influences, along with an interview with the film's director Konstantin Lopushanskiy.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We continue the annual Mike White March celebration with an uplifting tale of society post-collapse who is being gaslighted into believing they have a chance at surviving in O-Bi, O-Ba - The End of Civilization. Written by Polish writer/director Piotr Szulkin, it follows Soft; a man tasked with keeping society together through convincing them they have a chance to surviving the nuclear winter. It's a bleak, often depressing look at a post-apocalyptic society that hits way too close to home at a time like this. The Projection Booth's Mike White and The One Season Show's Jess Byard join Chris to talk about the movie, the usage of style, and other apocalyptic cinema.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

Every March, we turn the programming over to our good friend Mike White from The Projection Booth, and this March is no different with a look at foreign science fiction films, starting with the Czech film, The Secret of Steel City. Adapted from Jules Verne's The Begum's Fortune, it follows two warring cities who are embroiled in a cold war until that is reaching its breaking point. It's a quaint little film that's not much sci-fi but more steampunk. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film, its Eastern European influences, and Czech cinema.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We continue Unconventional Musical Month with a look at the American remake of a BBC classic that stars Steve Martin and Jessica Harper, Pennies from Heaven. The film follows married couple Arthur and Joan as they attempt to make it through the Great Depression together, all the while Arthur continues to get himself deeper and deeper into trouble. Like Bugsy Malone, it's a unique spin on the musical genre featuring some astounding musical set-pieces. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film, the casting of Steve Martin, and whether it does the original any justice along with an interview with cult film icon Jessica Harper.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

As we near the end of David Lynch December, we take a break from transcendental weirdness to check back in with the Skywalker clan and their bevy of friends in the finale to the latest Star Wars trilogy: The Rise of Skywalker. Following the events of the lackluster Last Jedi, the film picks up a year later with the return of a powerful villain once thought dead that threatens to destroy the entire known galaxy. It's yet another disappointing, disjointed, and ultimately forgettable conclusion to a sequel trilogy mired in mediocrity and problems.

We are smack dab in the middle of David Lynch December, our followup to David Lynch January, as we take a look at the auteur's attempt to adapt one science fiction's most epic stories, Dune. It follows House Atreides as they are moved to the desert world Arrakis to overlook the harvesting of a spice that powers the universe. Lynch as met his match with a source material just as esoteric and bizarre as he is. It's a wild ride that bombed at the box office but has become a cult classic in the years since. The Projection Booth's Mike White and The One Season Show's Jess Byard join Chris to talk about the film, all of the related ephemera surrounding the film, and the upcoming remake.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We kick off David Lynch December, our followup to David Lynch January, with one of two biopics from the auteur which also happens to be his second film which also happened to have gotten nominated for eight Oscars: The Elephant Man. Starring John Hurt as the titular character, the film follows the life and times of John Merrick, a man stricken with a horrible physical disfigurement, who meets a doctor who attempts to change his life. It's a sentimental and touching story of compassion and humanity that features only the slightest Lynchian touches. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film, the real-life Elephant Man, and where the film falls in Lynch's body of work.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We take another break from Noirvember to cover a film that attempts to reconcile the differences between the two different versions of The Shining, along with providing a look at the continuing adventures of Danny Torrance: Doctor Sleep. Starring Ewan McGregor as the adult Danny, it follows him attempting to prevent a young girl with her shining ability from being consumed by Rosie the Hat and the evil True Knot gang. It attempts to reconcile the differences between the original book and film, along with telling a coherent, entertaining story, not an easy task. The One Season Show's Jess Byard and The Projection Booth's Mike White join Chris to talk about the film, the book, and the differences between the two.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We are at the halfway point of 2001: A Horrortober Odyssey with the only horror movie Harrison Ford ever starred in, which also happens to be directed by Robert Zemeckis: What Lies Beneath. Harrison Ford plays Dr. Norman Spencer, whose wife, played by Michelle Pfeiffer, is being haunted by a seemingly benevolent spirit in their house they are renovating. She later realizes the spirit may be trying to tell her something about her husband and his past, with grave consequences for her future. It's a clunky, overly long take on the horror genre that is barely horror, barely supernatural, and barely entertaining. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film's screenplay, Harrison Ford's '90s filmography, and the muddled nature of the film. You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We take a break from 2001: A Horrotober Odyssey to take a look at a film that is in the running for the most controversial film of 2019: Joker. The film follows Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck, a mentally disturbed man whose life is falling apart around him. Unable to make a name for himself in the world of clowns for hire, Arthur slips farther and farther into insanity, possibly becoming the famous clown prince of Gotham in the process. Similar to other DC Comics films, it's a meandering, unnecessary slog that has nothing important to say on the myriad of issues it attempts to confront. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film, Mike's storied past with director Todd Phillips, and the laziness of the film's ending.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We near the end of You've Never Seen September with a look at a film that we guarantee you've never seen unless you're a fan of a certain '90s VHS pre-film trailer line-up: Big Girls Don't Cry... They Get Even. Starring a veritable cavalcade of notable stars including David Strathairn and Griffin Dunne, it follows Hillary Wolf as a teenager in a mixed family featuring step-brothers and half-sisters who runs away to try and prove a point to them. It's a film in the vein of John Hughes but without any of the witty dialogue or memorable characters often characterized by a Hughes film. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to break down the lackluster comedy, the usage of the star actors, and Hillary Wolf's Olympic career.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

Our 300th episode is finally here! Not only is Chris joined by almost all of his current co-hosts but they join him to talk some of the more memorable Kulturecast episodes, movies, and moments of the last five years. Along with reminiscing about the history of the podcast, David Lynch's final film Inland Empire is given its time in the sun as well. The film stars Laura Dern as a budding starlet who is cast in a cursed production that begins to take a toll on her life. It's a purely Lynchian experience that verges on modern experimental art more than a traditional narrative film. The One Season's Show Jess Byard, The Projection Booth's Mike White, and Canadian director Matt Campagna join Chris to talk Ghostbusters: Answer the Call, the 400th episode of the Kulturecast, and Lynch's filmography.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

We continue Patricia Arquette August with a look at a film that has no reason to exist and frankly couldn't in 2019: Holy Matrimony. Patricia Arquette plays Havana, a woman down on her luck, who through convoluted plot contrivances, ends up being married to a thirteen-year-old Joseph Gordon-Levitt in his first film role. It's a film that is as bizarre as it is boring with even the fact that it's directed by Star Trek's own Leonard Nimoy not being able to save the tonally inconsistent screenplay from falling flat. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about child marriage, this film's bizarre tone, and comparison's to Harrison Ford's Witness.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

Body Horror July is on hold for the final time to cover the ninth and latest film from cinematic plagiarist, Quentin Tarantino: Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood. The film follows Leonardo DiCaprio as an aging actor attempting to hang on to the last vestiges of his popularity while his stuntman/bodyguard/best friend played by Brad Pitt has a solo adventure through 1969 Hollywood. Margot Robbie is also in the film as Sharon Tate but even Tarantino seems to have forgotten that she was number three billed and a massive presence in the advertising. Highball TV and Canadian director Matt Campagna and The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk Tarantino's latest film, why Margot Robbie was even in the film, and the director's filmography and influence as a whole.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

Body Horror July nears its conclusion with a look at a film that helped launch the career of one of the most prolific filmmakers of all time even if it features some of the most creative gore in cinema history: Dead Alive. Directed by Peter Jackson, it follows the shy Lionel who falls in love with gorgeous Paquita only to find that his overbearing mother has become an undead ghoul and is attempting to thwart their love even from the grave. It's an inventively gory, over-the-top bloodfest that utilizes every inch of the human body in disgustingly hilarious fashion with a final act that is near bloody perfection. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to chat about Jackson's filmography before and since, the climax of the film, and the interesting connection to Sam Raimi.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

With Jess Byard June at a close, we now kickoff Body Horror July with a look at the progeny of David Cronenberg's first film, Antiviral. The film follows Caleb Landry Jones as Syd March, a lab technician at a company that sells celebrity viruses, who gets infected with a viral pathogen that is seemingly incurable. He then attempts not only to cure himself but also sell the celebrity virus to the highest bidder. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk Brandon Cronenberg's directorial debut, whether or not the film leans into body horror, and Caleb Landry Jones' performance.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

With Stanley Kubrick Month in the rearview mirror, it's time to talk horny summer campers, sadistic slashers, and a ton of nudity with Jess Byard June. To kick off the aforementioned month, we'll be taking a look at one of the few summer camp slasher flicks that were hard to find in its uncut form until recently The Burning. The film features a veritable cavalcade of then up, and coming talent who would go on to have successful careers such as Jason Alexander, Fisher Stevens, and Holly Hunter and some significant effects work from the legendary Tom Savini. While the film doesn't feature the most memorable villain or the most original plot, it's a worthy entry into the summer camp slasher subgenre. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk Cropsey's weapon of choice, the film's use of style, and whether it deserves the praise it gets.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

The Kulturecast kicks off Stanley Kubrick Month with a look at the famed auteur's freshman film The Killing. The film stars Sterling Hayden and a veritable cast of characters that are caught up in Hayden's plot to rip off a horse racing track for millions of dollars. While the attempt goes sideways, the film is one of Kubrick's finest and one that still stands up as a prime example of the director's impressive abilities. Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to talk about the film, whether it's noir or not, and the legendary character actor Timothy Carey.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

It's finally here! The most anticipated film of 2019 and the sequel to 2018's Avengers: Infinity War along with being the final film in a 10+ year storyline, Avengers: Endgame. The film picks back up only weeks after the events of Infinity War with the remaining Avengers attempting to find a way to undo the Snap heard round the Universe. It's the culmination of 22 films worth of story and character development along with the emotional end to the current cast of the MCU. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to finish the journey taken with Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor that started so long ago and to look to the future of what Marvel Studios may have up its sleeves.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

Long live Mike White March! As opposed to ending the month with a bang, it ends with a whimper, that whimper being Bruce Beresford's Money Movers. The film is a mediocre take on a crime/heist drama that ends up dragging more than being an interesting entry into the genre. It does feature Bryan Brown of FX fame, however, which is always a plus. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris for one last ride into the Outback to tackle the disappointing film, some talk about the Oscars, and general cinema chit chat.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

As we near the end of Mike White March, we come upon the curious case of Mad Dog Morgan, a film that benefits having prior knowledge about the insane behind the scenes machinations due to the powerhouse of acting that was Dennis Hopper. Starring the Hopper mentioned above, the film follows the exploits of the infamous bushranger and all around ne'er-do-well Dan "Mad Dog" Morgan as he caused trouble for the Australian government in the mid-1800s. Dennis Hopper's offscreen antics translate to a true method performance as the unhinged Morgan along with some cinema verite style that is reminiscent of Alejandro Jodorowsky. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris once again to talk Hopper's performance, the translation from page to screen, and more familiar faces from Aussie cinema.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

Continuing Mike White March, we come to The Man from Hong Kong, a unique kung-fu film that lacks a charismatic lead but has all the trappings of a truly standout Ozploitation film. Directed by Ozploitation legend Brian Trenchard-Smith, the film stars Jimmy Wang Yu as the previously mentioned stale lead who is surrounded by some of Australia's finest exploitation actors including one-time James Bond George Lazenby who chews through the scenery every chance he gets. It's a more enjoyable experience than Stone with different problems that hamper it. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk Wang Yu's robotic performance, Lazenby's fantastic turn as a villain, and the film's fantastic climax.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

It's that time of the year again where we turn over the reigns of programming to The Projection Booth's Mike White for the second annual Mike White March. This year's films are all Ozploitation, focusing on the best exploitation films Australia has to offer, and this month is kicked off with Stone. A biker film that was a precursor to the more popular stateside Mad Max, the film follows the eponymous Stone, an undercover cop, who joins the Gravedigger biker gang to try and determine who is killing them one by one. It's a novel premise that ultimately falls flat as it fails to build upon the initial albeit exciting idea. Chris is joined by Mike White to talk about the film, its lasting influence on both American and Australian cinema, and the always fantastic Hugh Keays-Byrne.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

Drunken Master II or The Legend of the Drunken Master, as it was released stateside, is one of Jackie Chan's finest films and an example of what happens when kung-fu, comedy, and a well-written story are combined into something truly magical. The film follows Jackie as Wong Fei-hung who must stop a group of foreigners who are hell-bent on stealing precious antiques from the Chinese countryside. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk a whole bunch of drunken fighting moves, a climax for the ages, and the best Jackie Chan movie of the month.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

Armour of God is the first film in Jackie Chan's Armour of God trilogy, despite what the hacks over Miramax would have you believe in their release of the film. The film follows the exploits of Jackie as well, Jackie a.k.a. Asian Hawk, as he must help his former bandmate Alan procure the pieces of the Armour of God for a cult that has kidnapped his girlfriend. It's a mash-up between James Bond and Indiana Jones with a healthy dose of chopsocky thrown in for good measure. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk Amazonian assassins, hot air balloons, and Jackie's near-death experience.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

Police Story is the first film in the acclaimed Police Story franchise that saw Jackie Chan not only as the lead in front of the camera but also behind the camera as well. Jackie stars as a Hong Kong cop tasked with taking down a corrupt crime boss and clearing his name after being framed for murder. It's not only one of Jackie's best films but also features one of the best opening scenes in all of cinema. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk downhill shanty town racing, dangerous stunts, and an unhinged Jackie Chan. As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

Dragons Forever is the final film starring the illustrious "Three Brothers," the trio of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao. The film follows Jackie Chan as a Hong Kong lawyer who is hired by a sleazy chemical company to try and discredit a lawsuit brought against them by a fishery for polluting the water. Jackie must figure out what the company is actually up to with the help of his two friends, a arms dealer, and an inventor, along with trying to stop himself from falling in love with the prosecutor's key witness. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris and Eric to talk about the final ride for the Three Brothers along with some poorly translated subtitles.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

The WNUF Halloween Special is not only the final found footage film of Horrortober but also a film that transcends time and reality it would seem to showcase a seemingly lost Halloween night broadcast from local channel WNUF. Directed and written by Chris LaMartina, it's a love letter not only to anyone who watched TV in the '80s but also to horror fans looking for something truly unique. Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White for an in-depth discussion of the now genre classic as well as interviews with director Chris LaMartina and actor Paul Fahrenkopf (Frank Stewart) about the film's creation, filming, and the upcoming sequel. If you loved WNUF, make sure to head on over to the GoFundMe for the upcoming sequel and keep an eye on Chris' Twitter for updates and footage from the original and sequel. 

Ghostwatch takes the found footage genre and not only flips it on its head completely but also creates one of the most unique and shocking television experiences of the last thirty years. Written by Stephen Volk and directed by Lesley Manning, the TV film features an ensemble cast of well-known BBC news personalities who look to determine if a house in rural London is truly haunted or if it's just a hoax. Chris and Eric are joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to analyze the controversial program along with interviews with creator Stephen Volk and director Lesley Manning about the conception, airing, and legacy of the show.

Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to kick off Samurai September with a look at Kiru, a sendup of the samurai genre that utilizes humor and parody over stone-faced samurai. The film follows a former farmer and a former samurai who wander into a desolate town only to get swept into a power struggle between a clanlord and seven of his samurai who turn on him. It's a humorous take on the genre and worthy samurai film in its own right. As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White once again to finish out Documentary Month with a look at This Film is Not Yet Rated, a look at the secretive Motion Picture Association of America (the MPAA). The film takes a look at the inherent hypocrisy and censorship that the association levels against filmmakers who want their films released. It's a lighter film than any of the month's previous films and one drives a dagger straight into the heart of film censorship.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to start Documentary Month with a look at Jesus Camp, a documentary described by some as "the scariest movie ever made". The film follows pastor Becky Fischer as she puts on the Kids on Fire summer camp in North Dakota to preach her message to evangelical children from across the country. It's an interesting look at the religious base in America as they attempt to indoctrinate the youth into their mindset both politically and spiritually. As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to talk the final film of Blaxploitation month: Trouble Man. The film stars Robert Hooks as the titular private eye, hustler, fixer, who is drawn into a web of danger when is framed for the murder of a crime boss' enforcer. It's a film in the vein of Cotton Comes to Harlem and maybe a little too much like Shaft for its own good.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to kick off Brian De Palma Month with a look at Carrie, one of his earlier works. The film stars Sissy Spacek as a bullied teen who finds out she has a power that will have devastating effects on her life.

Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to round out Mike White March with a look at Kôji Wakamatsu's Ecstasy of the Angels. The film follows two warring factions as they attempt to cause a revolution in Japan during the early '70s. The film veers farther into experimental cinema than any film this month and definitely isn't a film for everyone.  As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to continue Mike White March with a look at quite possibly the finest example of Japanese New Wave cinema, Yoshishige Yoshida's Eros + Massacre. The film focuses on two separate storylines: the final days of anarchist Sakae Ōsugi before his assassination and the lives of two students Eiko and Wada as they research the teachings and philosophy of Ōsugi. It's a three and a half hour epic that traverses separate timelines and multiple characters and their lives.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to kick off Mike White March with a look at the first Japanese New Wave film, Nagisa Ôshima's Death by Hanging. The film follows R, an ethnic Korean living in Japan, who survives being executed by hanging only to have his entire life and being examined by the Japanese justice system. It's a black comedy that turns the mirror on not only Japanese culture but also the criminal justice system and racism.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to talk another controversial film that spans the gamut of disturbing topics including pedophilia, Nazis, and rape: In a Glass Cage. The film stars Gunter Meisner as Klaus, a Nazi who is stuck in an iron lung after attempting to kill himself and is visited by a former victim who he had molested. It's a disturbing look at humanity, torture, and the fetishization of helplessness.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.
