Monday Apr 05, 2021
If not the greatest musical of all-time, certainly the greatest musical, adventure-fantasy of all-time! 1939's "Wizard of Oz is quite simply, a wonder. I'd find it awful difficult to find someone who hasn't seen it, at the very minimum knows the story. Deirdre Brooks re-joins the team to discuss one of her, and our favorite films ever.

Writer /actor Stephen Gevedon returns for a second part of our conversation about film. For the second half of the show we spent in rousing discussion about art and what that means exactly, as we dive into Michaelangelo Anonioni's valentine to London in the 60s, "BlowUp". We dig a little bit into 'If a tree falls...' territory. Fun! Listen in for another rambunctious recording.

Wednesday Mar 24, 2021
For the second half of special guest Mike Wickliff's visit, he chose to introduce us to a film we had never even heard of, George C Scott's follow-up film to "Patton". A movie about a guy who thinks he's Sherlock Holmes and just so happens to run across a psychiatric doctor named Watson and they go on a little adventure. It also just so happens to be the source of a certain band from Minnesota that shares the same name. Crazy!

Cinemental_074 - Mike Wickliff (part one) - Dave Made A Maze
Monday Mar 22, 2021
Monday Mar 22, 2021
With one of the most visually innovative concept films I've ever experienced, return guest Mike Wickliff brings us "Dave Made A Maze". Trust me when I tell you you have NEVER seen a film like this. All cinephiles should take the 89 minutes and watch this movie simply for the production design and concept alone. But what about it as a an actual movie? That, my friends, you have to listen in for!
