(Oh yeah, and save the world in the process.)Also in this episode:• The delicious stone soup of Cameron's budget filmmaking and special effects• Is this a slasher movie? Does it simply borrow slasher tropes? Did those tropes exist in 1984?• How James Cameron makes corniness as well as Frank Capra• Why ‘90s kids saw T2: Judgment Day first, and why we need to break the cycle• Plus, check out our show notes for a complete list of Simpsons references, double feature suggestions, and further readingSpringfield Googolplex is taking a break for the holidays, but we will be back on February 4, 2025, with a new batch of episodes.

Thanks for waiting on this week's episode!This week, Sam & Ralph discuss an underappreciated satire of American violence--Series 7: The Contenders (trailer). Filmed as a reality show, this 2001 film follows 6 people who are forced to fight to the death by the fascist American Entertainment Complex. It's also a black comedy!We both really recommend watching Series 7: The Contenders. Especially, if you remember American reality television in the early aughts. The entire movie can be found on YouTube here: MOVIE. This is not our link, so do not get mad at us.We also discuss the incredible work of Scarecrow Video at the top of the episode. If you'd like to take advantage of their new RENTAL BY MAIL program (especially now that Netflix DVD's are dead), you can sign-up here: Scarecrow Video. We highly recommend checking them out, especially if you're in the U.S.Content Warning: the movie and our discussion talk about suicide multiple times.

Just a quick midweek drop in here at Breakfast All Day but it's loaded with good stuff. We have reviews of a couple of films we both really liked: Pablo Larrain's lushly beautiful, black-and-white "El Conde," which depicts former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet as an actual vampire; and the witty and sweet indie dramedy "Scrapper," which has hints of "Paper Moon" in its unusual father-daughter bond. (Christy loved it.) In news, we discuss box office, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, Drew Barrymore and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap the star-studded latest episode of "Only Murders in the Building" on Hulu. Thanks for joining us!

Space Jason Drive AngryGet M A D with Chris Graves 12-12-2022 Todd FarmerOn this very special episode of "Get M.A.D." I chat with veteran screenwriter Todd Farmer! Todd has written such horror films as "Jason X", "My Bloody Valentine 3D", "Drive Angry", screenplays for a "Halloween 3D" & "Hellraiser" reboot for Miramax / Dimension Films, the comic book "Alien Pig Farm 3000" with "Punisher" star Thomas Jane, and much, much more! He also goes into a very difficult time in his life and career where after years of being a paid working screenwriter in Hollywood, he found himself living in his car and having to shower at his local gym. After a few years of having to put his first love aside to work at Fed Ex & a car dealership, Todd was able to fight his way back to screenwriting! Very inspiring, so much so that he decided to write an article about the whole situation, warts & all, and was met with quite a bit of feedback! I was honored that he would take the time to chat with me. Enjoy!

It was after learning to box that Karyn Kusama became interested in making a film set in the world of boxing, specifically focused on a woman learning to box. After writing the script, she found it very difficult to finance. People said it wouldn't work unless she changed the Latina protagonist to a white woman. They said having a female protagonist was “unbelievable” and “unappealing.” Even after her producers finally found the financing, the financier pulled out days before production was supposed to start. It was only with the last-minute financial support from one of her producers – Maggie Renzi, along with her partner John Sayles – that she was able to get her film made. And we're glad she did, because it's a great film and introduced the world to Michelle Rodriguez. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our Sports series with Kusama's 2000 film Girlfight. Here's what we take on in our conversation about Girlfight. Clearly, this film is a showcase for Michelle Rodriguez as Diana, our protagonist. We get a sense of her screen presence and her intensity. How much did this film end up defining the trajectory of her career? Is she ever offered parts in romantic comedies or does she purposefully steer toward the action films she's generally making? Either way, we have a great time with her here and love watching her in whatever she chooses to make. One of the challenges we have with the film is the balance between Diana and her boxing with her relationship with Adrian. Is it the script that leaves us struggling? The performances from beginning actors? Or the structure and how interconnected Diana's love story becomes with her boxing journey? It works for us, but not as well as we perhaps want it to. Regardless, we love the cast. Jaime Tirell, Douglas Santiago, Paul Calderón, Ray Santiago – they all deliver. Jaime's Hector, however, is one of our favorites. What a great character. Kusama shows great technique right out of the gate. The introduction to Diana in the school hallway. The intense looks Diana gives right into the lens, breaking the fourth wall. The boxing POVs with the white flashes. Kusama's not afraid to put strong touches on her film and they all work to its benefit. How has her career progressed after this? And what do we think of her upcoming foray into the TV series remake of Cronenberg's Dead Ringers? Either way, she's a fascinating director and worth tracking. This film is hard to come by these days as it's currently not streaming. You can rent a physical copy from Scarecrow video, however, through their rent-by-mail program. Check them out – the link's in the show notes below. It's worth tracking this film down and watching it. It certainly would be a film worth a streaming or physical release as more people should check it out. We have a great time talking about it so check it out then tune in.

The following chapter of Bogdanovich's career has yet to be recorded in any significant capacity. Previous retrospectives of his works tend to end at his dramatic apex, with the more thorough examinations dipping into the later classics and recent reevaluations recognizing his last theatrical works. Nobody, however, has paid any attention to his TV works from the ‘90s. Nobody. “I did a lot of tv work that I'm very proud of, but television work doesn't get considered the same as a feature, even though you shoot it like a feature. It's still a movie. You still get the script right, you still cast it, you shoot it quickly. And it's harder to do because you're shooting fast, but it doesn't get any consideration. It's snob appeal.” That's what Bogdanovich had to say in a rare interview in which he was asked about his television works, expressing at least some bitterness at the disregard paid to the work he gave equal efforts to despite the smaller canvas. “I was directing, but I wasn't doing theatrical features. I did five television films in five years. I shot them very fast, and nobody saw them except millions of people.” Although these films are all but forgotten today, in their time Bogdanovich's “movie-of-the-week” work was quite successful. With every household glued to their tvs in search of nightly entertainment throughout the decade, Bogdanovich's films made waves across the Neilson ratings, but promptly disappeared from the pages of posterity. Even his first television project, a sequel to the classic Sidney Poitier film To Sir, with Love, has made no impression on the Bogdanovich canon. In a depressing fit of irony, the two Hollywood legends passed tragically on the same day, making To Sir, with Love II a kind of twilight coda for the both of them, buried within the legacies of their more treasured works. It's a worthy successor to its predecessor – better, even, in some regards, such as the way it transplants the tangential racial themes of the first movie to the progressive and more critical conversations of the 1990s. Bogdanovich's films had rarely ventured outside his prerogative for thematic material up until now, but by transitioning to for-hire work on television he'd find a number of new opportunities to explore perspectives and struggles which were beyond his own. Blessed Assurance (perhaps also known as The Price of Heaven) attempts to continue this conversation in its portrayal of a Korean War veteran returning home to face a moral dilemma in a job which requires him to prey on the vulnerability of an impoverished Black commune. The truncated structure of the TV-movie mold does the story a disservice and leaves the film little room to flesh out its themes. Its embrace of melodrama betrays the sense of distinction Bogdanovich eloquently bestowed on his first TV production, embodying the kind of schmaltzy, middling productions derisively associated with the genre. Rescuers: Stories of Courage: Two Women is the first in a series of three thematically related movies about courageous persons aiding the escape of Jews from Nazi agents in occupied Poland. Bognavoch helmed this first entry, but the film lacks any recognizable features attributable to the director. Despite himself having been conceived in the former Yugoslavia before his parents fled from the Nazis and landed in New York, the film lacks any personal distinction or any significant revelations – as bog standard as Bogdanovich ever got.Jules Dassin was unfortunately not one of the major Hollywood directors whose influence managed to inspire Bogdanovich to chronicle their legacy, but his important role as an architect of Film Noir's impact on cinema nonetheless managed to worm its way into Bogdanovich's career. The Naked City was a seminal 1948 noir which distinguished itself with a documentary-like approach to shooting on the streets of New York. Bogdanovich was hired to make a tv movie continuation of the characters first seen in Dassin's film, now dealing with the criminals of contemporary New York. Naked City: A Killer Christmas stars Scott Glenn in the role first helmed by grizzled noir everyman Richard Widmark searching for a serial killer terrorizing the city. It's about as close as Bogdanovich ever got to inheriting the legacy of Fritz Lang or Edgar Ulmer, but more often the film feels like any ordinary cop drama than an expressionistic revival.The next film from Bogdanovich couldn't be farther from his usual prerogative. A body swap comedy set in New Orleans where professional football player David Alan Grier and artist wife Vivica A. Fox mend their marriage through the old adage of walking a mile in each other's shoes. It's also a Disney film, brimming with the requisite amount of Disney cornball and childish humor. A Saintly Switch maintains a certain affable charm, a universal appeal which speaks to the importance of family and communication, while supplying some fantastical humor in all of Bogdanovich's illustrious comic career. From one sports sphere to another, Bogdanovich's last TV film was produced, surprisingly, by ESPN. They asked him to make a movie about disgraced baseball legend Pete Rose, whose story interested Bogdanovich as a kind of embodiment of the failures of the American Dream. Rose rose his way up in prominence through a lucrative and record-breaking career in baseball, but squandered it all away thanks to a debilitating gambling addiction. He became a coach for the team he first became famous on, and started fixing games to pay his bills. When he was finally caught, he spent five months in jail and was stripped of all his previous honors. What we see in Hustle is that downfall in full, a depraved portrait of a fallen man finally reaching the end of his rope. If you're not a fan of baseball, or aren't particularly familiar with the legend of Pete Rose, then Hustle will likely be a foul ball instead of a home run. But regardless of how successful or not these films ultimately were, they kept Bogdanovich employed – and even more than that, they sharpened his skills. “I couldn't have made The Cat's Meow, which we did in 31 days, if I hadn't have done five television films back-to-back in five years — all of them 19, 20, 22, 24 days.” There would never be another Last Picture Show for the enlightened successor of the Hollywood masters, but he did manage some respectable efforts working in an undervalued medium. Bogdanovich never considered his television works any less worthy of consideration than his feature films, and neither should we. Considering how a number of Bogdanovich's most treasured films still don't have proper distribution (even Paper Moon lacks a North American blu-ray release), it should come as no surprise that his televisual period languishes thanks to pervasive obscurity. We feel very privileged here at The Twin Geeks to have the resources necessary for us to catalog and cover these forgotten films, with special thanks to Scarecrow Video in Seattle, Washington for preserving these works on a physical format, which not even the unsavoriest of internet pirates have thought to claim. It's up to us to preserve the legacy of filmmakers like Peter Bogdanovich; to do for him what he did for Orson Welles, John Ford, and innumerable others. To prop up his legacy and appreciate everything he gave to the world – classics, flops, scriptures, and chronicles – because, if nothing else, the life and career of Peter Bogdanovich exemplified an appreciation for the art of cinema above all else, and the necessity of its preservation and celebration in equal measure.

As far as we know, this movie is only available through Scarecrow Video in Seattle. It’s an extremely silly parody of postapocalyptic movies made by people (in 2009) who were both comedians and Scarecrow employees, which means that they’re pals of Rhias’s. It’s really funny, though, and we try to convey that in our very fond discussion of it. Host Monty Ashley and Rhias Hall.

The founder and editor-in-chief of the prestigious online film journal Bright Wall/Dark Room, Chad Perman first started the site on Tumblr in his living room in 2009 after years spent wondering if there was a way to talk differently - more emotionally, more humanly - about movies.Almost four years (and 220,000 followers) later, he decided to expand things and launched a magazine/journal version of BW/DR in June 2013 with a small staff of friends and collaborators devoted to looking at movies in unique ways. Together, they've put out a new issue every single month for the past 7 years and worked to create a vibrant and inclusive community of writers, readers, and supporters.Having earned a B.A. in English and Cinema Studies from the University of Washington, Chad received a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from PLU. Additionally, a practicing mental health therapist, Chad has worked in the field for over 15 years. Currently in private practice and working with both individuals and couples, he specializes in treating writers, artists, and other creatives.In this rich, fascinating episode, I was honored to talk to the friendly, contemplative Chad Perman about not only the start of BW/DR (and the talented collaborators that helped him get it up and running) but also his own background with and relationship to film.Featuring multiple shout-outs to colleagues and friends (especially past guests Brianna Ashby and Travis Woods) as well as a celebration of late '80s fare, this hour-long discussion touches on everything from Scarecrow Video to Chad's advice for creatives working in a pandemic. Available to listen to in this post, you can also find Watch With Jen wherever you get your podcasts, including Spotify, Apple, Google, and Stitcher.Originally Posted on Patreon (10/12/20) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/42674486Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive

Conclusion to the first arc of our Halloween Double Feature! CW: Gruesome zombie violence. Secrets abound, and nothing seems to be adding up, especially in the case of the dead man standing before our heroes’ eyes. Mo, Moss, and Horald seem to be chatting with the burning madman seen fleeing not yesterday! But this charming gentleman clearly still has both lips and eyes. Is it a case of mistaken identity? Or are there foul forces at work…? Join Peter, Tommy, James, and Morgan as they challenge the forces of necromancy with blade, gun, and…Stuff?

Mo, Moss, and Horald are enjoying their stay in the town of Havengull. Everyone so far has been extremely helpful and not suspicious. But just in case, our heroes have decided to poke around and see what they can dig up…literally. But hopefully not literally. But maybe, if they have to. Join Peter, Tommy, James, and Morgan as they hope to shed light in the darkness and repair some mugs. This episode is part of the 2019 Day Players Double Feature Halloween Spook-tacular!

Fire up the cauldron and steel your nerve, and welcome to the 2019 Day Players Double Feature Halloween Spook-tacular! The kind folks at Scarecrow Video gave us a list of their top horror flicks, and we’ve absorbed that forbidden knowledge into two freaky arcs. We’ll be releasing episodes on Thursdays AND Sundays this October, with two chilling sessions inspired by the movies recommended by Scarecrow! Our first haunting tale finds undead hunters Mo Rutherford, Moss Doleman, and Horald Hendrickson on the lookout for signs of a zombie scourge. And when a roadside fire leads them into a nearby village, they begin to suspect that not all is as it seems…probably because of the screaming madman who was on fire in the first place. Also a heads up, all the movies we got were pretty splattery, so just be advised that things get pretty Grindhouse-style yucky in here. Enjoy!

Epigraph The Drunk Booksellers get stoned on this 4/20 themed episode with Paul Constant of the Seattle Review of Books. Listen on iTunes, Stitcher, our website, or subscribe using your podcatcher of choice. This episode is sponsored by Books & Whatnot, the newsletter dedicated to books, bookselling, and bookish folk; check out their newsletter archive here. Follow Books & Whatnot on Twitter at @booksandwhatnot. If you want to get our show notes delivered directly to your inbox—with all the books mentioned on the podcast and links back to the bookstore we’re interviewing PLUS GIFs—sign up for our email newsletter. Introduction In which we make pot jokes and get excited about books We're switching up our intoxicant of choice this episode and getting stoned rather than drunk (mostly). Paul's rocking Mr. Moxey's Mints (of the peppermint/sativa variety). Emma's smoking CBD (not to be confused with William Steig's children's picture book, CDB!). Kim stops talking while stoned—which would make for a really awkward podcast episode—so she's drinking the hoppiest IPA she could find instead. Everyone's a little too high to explain the varieties of weed particularly well, so you should just read David Schmader's Weed: The User's Guide: A 21st Century Handbook for Enjoying Marijuana. Paul's Reading: Up South by Robert Lashley The Nameless City by Faith Erin Hicks A collection of books from Mount Analogue Press Manners by Ted Powers Final Rose by Halie Theoharides (a comic book tone poem about love and loss made up screenshots from The Bachelor) Reading Through It book club pick: What We Do Now: Standing Up for Your Values in Trump's America, edited by Dennis Johnson Emma's Reading: First Position by Melissa Brayden (thanks to a recommendation from our episode with The Ripped Bodice) Giant Days 4 by John Allison, Max Sarin, Lissa Treiman, Liz Fleming, and Whitney Cogar All the Lives I Want: Essays about My Best Friends Who Happen to Be Famous Strangers by Alana Massey (thanks to a recommendation from our episode with Amy Stephenson) Kim's Reading: We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Hope in the Dark by Rebecca Solnit On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder The Aisles Have Eyes: How Retailers Track Your Shopping, Strip Your Privacy, and Define Your Power by Joseph Turow Forthcoming Titles We're Excited For: You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me by Sherman Alexie (out June 13) Love and Trouble: a Midlife Reckoning by Claire Dederer (out May 9) also mentioned Poser: My Life in Twenty-Three Yoga Poses Theft by Finding: Diaries (1977-2002) by David Sedaris (out May 30) Hunger: a Memoir of (My) Body by Roxane Gay (out June 13) Priestdaddy by Patricia Lockwood (out May 2) Borne by Jeff VanderMeer (out April 25) Book of Joan by Lidia Yuknavitch (out April 18) Woman No. 17 by Edan Lepucki (out May 9) Isadora by Amelia Gray (out May 23) Dreaming the Beatles: the Love Story of One Band and the Whole World by Rob Sheffield (out April 25) Witches, Sluts, Feminists: Conjuring the Sex Positive by Kristen J Sollee (out June 13) Modern Tarot: Connecting with Your Higher Self Through the Wisdom of the Cards by Michelle Tea (out June 13) The Perfect Mix: Everything I Know about Leadership I Learned as a Bartender by Helen Rothberg (out June 20) Chapter I [18:50] In which we learn what The Seattle Review of Books is, talk about book reviews as a meta art form, and get advice on promoting diversity and being a safe, welcoming place for people who aren't white bros The Seattle Review of Books is a book news, review, and interviews site. This isn't consumer reports, with a thumbs up or down on each title; each review aims to have a conversation with the book. It's a site that aims to look like your bookshelf, without genre classification. Emma & Kim don't quite understand Paul's assertion that people don't organize their bookshelves, but we roll with it. SRB makes all their money through a single sponsor (which changes each week). If you're interested in their sponsorship program, you can learn more here. Paul wants to promote young, new writers and help them build up their clip file. So you should probably pitch him with your brilliant, bookish ideas. Email submissions@seattlereviewofbooks or fill in the contact form on their about page. Emma particularly loves the Help Desk by Cienna Madrid. Ask Cienna an awkward book-related question at advice@seattlereviewofbooks.com. Being a couple of white guys, Paul and his co-founder Martin McClellan are extremely concerned with diverse representation. You can learn more about how SRB encourages diversity in both the books they review and the reviewers they publish on their about page (or by listening to this episode...). But you should know right off the bat, they are not here to promote the new Franzen novel and they will not pander to bros. Chapter II [33:10] In which we talk about life in the US post-election, say something negative about a book, and discuss Paul's past (and current) life as a bookseller Reading Through It is a post-election book club hosted by Seattle Review of Books, the Seattle Weekly, and Third Place Books Seward Park. They meet the first Wednesday of every month. On our post-election world, Paul Constant says: "This is what books were made for. Books are engines of empathy... the only way to do a deep-dive into an issue. It's our stored knowledge... This is the moment for books." The next Reading Through It book group pick is The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion by Jonathan Haidt. They'll be meeting Wednesday May 3rd at Third Place Books Seward Park. Read Paul's article on his time at Borders: Books Without Borders: My Life at the World's Dumbest Bookstore Chain Though he's not technically a bookseller anymore, Paul is still "on team books." Keep an eye out for our "I'm On Team Books" t-shirts, which may or may not be a thing we sell one day. Chapter III [43:20] In which Paul is better at explaining our questions than stoned Emma is at asking them, Emma and Kim give Paul major side-eye due to his bookseller confession, and Emma continues to push Uprooted by Naomi Novik Desert Island Pick (what would you read that you never had the time to read before): The Years of Lyndon Johnson by Robert Caro (beginning with The Path to Power) We couldn't find a video of the following clip of Caro on the Colbert Report, so we'll just leave you this series of gifs to explain why you, too, should consider bringing an epic five-volume biography of Lyndon Johnson as your desert beach read: You're welcome. Now, back to your regularly scheduled show notes. Station Eleven Picks (the books to preserve for society) The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne (everything you need to know about living in a society) Great Expectations by Charles Dickens (everything you need to know about life and how it doesn’t always work out the way you want, but you should live it anyway) Read Paul's essay about The Scarlet Letter, originally written for Scarecrow Video. Wild Pick (traveling is about observing things... soaking everything in) We Tell Ourselves Stories In Order to Live by Joan Didion ("because she is the greatest observer on the planet and I would want to be like her when I was traveling") Bookseller Confession Once again, we have a guest who hasn't read Harry Potter. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? Paul also hasn't read Lord of the Rings and Kim proceeds to side-eye him from across the city. (In case you were wondering, the title of the direct link to this gif is "wtf-i-cant-even-you-are-stupid." Just sayin'.) Emma, naturally, tries to convert Paul to fantasy w/ an Uprooted recommendation because "nobody doesn't like it." Paul commits to reading it in order to prove her wrong. Go-To Handsell Fup by Jim Dodge Paul saved the book from going out of print and—arguably more importantly—he handsold a copy to Allison Hannigan. Impossible Handsell Paradise by AL Kennedy (and everything by AL Kennedy) Book for Booksellers Saving Capitalism by Robert Reich Favorite Bookstores Elliott Bay Ada’s Technical Books Third Place Ravenna Favorite Literary Media Not to brag, but, we’re the only podcast Paul listens to. The Rumpus Lit Hub Book Forum Electric Literature Shelf Awareness Epilogue In which we tell you where to find us on the Internets You can find Paul on: Twitter Seattle Review of Books is also on Twitter Seattlereviewofbooks.com You can find us on: Twitter at @drunkbookseller Litsy at @drunkbooksellers Facebook Instagram Email Newsletter Website Emma tweets @thebibliot and writes bookish things for Book Riot.

Three podcasts come together for a show this week. With Adam sitting out after getting back from a long work trip, Brandan is joined by Rochelle Mantanona of Atomic Trivia War 9000 along with Kevin Clarke and Matt Lynch of the Scarecrow Video Podcast. Ro delivers questions that span the entire history of the Seahawks organization. Tune in to see how Brandan's Seahawks knowledge matches up against the movie knowledge of Kevin and Matt. Listen as Kevin and Brandan reminisce about landmarks in their hometown. Also, decide for yourself if Steve Ballard is a real person or simply someone Matt made up. Most importantly, don't miss Kevin and his friends from The Enematic Cinematic podcast as they watch and review Stone Cold, starring Brian Bosworth, at The Jewelbox Theater in The Rendezvous (2322 2nd Ave.) in Seattle on August 11th.
This week Mike and Sean tackle David Fincher's big hit Gone Girl, starring Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike along with the late George Sluizer's 1988 film about a missing woman, The Vanishing. They'll also recap Sean's trip to the 2014 Vancouver International Film Festival, celebrate Independent Video Store Day with their Essential Films You Can Only Get at Scarecrow Video, and discuss the concept of "It" while making their picks for modern day It Girls and It Boys on the 150th birthday of writer Elinor Glyn. All this and Mike finally watched Boyhood too.
TV writer and producer Neal Baer is known for his gay-friendly storylines. Now, he's come out of the closet in his 50's. And a famous video store hopes to go nonprofit to keep its doors open.
In a world where streaming services have attempted to kill physical media, Scarecrow Video proudly boasts row after row of DVDs, VHS tapes, and more in its 120,000 title collection located out in Seattle, Washington. Matt Lynch has worked at Scarecrow for over 10 years, and knows the store in and out, from the location of every auteur to where you can find "Little Bastards" flicks. So Peter visited the store and sat down with Matt to get a sense of the independent video store's history and future, as well as talk movie violence in its utter grotesqueness and pure visceral pleasure. Finally, the two examine John Woo's 1992 Hong Kong blockbuster Hard Boiled, which not only features some of the most spectacularly crafted action sequences in any film, but examines its own violence through a deeply moralistic lens. 0:00-1:33 Opening2:26-9:48 Establishing Shots - Dietrich and Von Sterberg / Donations10:33-1:09:12 Deep Focus - Matt Lynch1:10:44-1:29:32 Double Exposure - Hard Boiled (John Woo)1:29:35-1:31:15 Close
This week Sean and Mike take a look at a couple of classic gangster films, Sergio Leone's 1983 epic Once Upon a Time in America and Raoul Walsh's The Roaring Twenties, from 1939. They also discuss the career of Robert DeNiro, the state of Seattle landmark Scarecrow Video and make their picks for the essential films about the 1920s that were not made in the 1920s.
