There's Sometimes a Buggy: Irresponsible Opinions About Classic Film

De: Elise & Dave
  • Resumen

  • Join Dave and Elise every week for a buggy-ride of cinematic exploration. A bilingual Montreal native and a Prairies hayseed gravitate to Toronto for the film culture, meet on OK Cupid, and spur on each other's movie-love, culminating in this podcast. Expect in-depth discussion of our old favourites (mostly studio-era Hollywood) and our latest frontiers. We like to bring attention to neglected figures and dig into little-known corners of film history and popular culture, and we hope that we can also bring new perspectives to the familiar. The podcast will be comprised of several potentially never-ending series: - Fear & Moviegoing in Toronto: Our Perspectives on Choice Local Retrospectives (PAUSED BY PANDEMIC) - Hollywood Studios – Year by Year: Deep-cut dishing on Paramount, MGM, Warner Brothers, RKO, Fox, and Universal items from 1930 to 1948. - Acteurist oeuvre-views/spotlights on worthy on-camera creatives, beginning with Jennifer Jones and Setsuko Hara. - And a big parade of special subjects hand-chosen by whichever of your hosts happens to have a handle on this buggy that week Finally, this feed also serves as an archive for a wide variety of shows we’ve been doing since 2014, including: - Another Kind of Distance: A Time Travel Film Podcast - We’re Not Gonna Talk About Judy: A Twin Peaks The Return Podcast - Red Time For Bonzo: A Marxist-Reaganist Ronald Reagan Filmography Podcast (this one is Dave with his friends Romy and Gareth) - And comics ‘casts discussing the works of Grant Morrison, Wolfman and Perez’s New Teen Titans, Gerry Conway’s Amazing-Spider-Man, and Mishkin, Cohn and Colon’s Amethyst Limited Series

  • Hollywood Studios Year-by-Year – MGM – 1947: CYNTHIA (dir Robert Z. Leonard) and HIGH WALL (dir. Curtis Bernhardt)
    Jul 5 2024

    For this MGM 1947 Studios Year by Year episode, we discuss Cynthia, a gentle family melodrama starring a luminous 15-year-old Elizabeth Taylor as an over-protected teenager, and High Wall, a psychiatric film noir with great roles for Robert Taylor and Herbert Marshall as sweaty noir protagonists at cross purposes. Our Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment, meanwhile, features discussion of two radically different films: James Cameron's Terminator 2 and a 4K restoration of Vittorio de Sica's influential early neorealist drama Shoeshine. Realist horrors or horror fantasy, take your pick!

  • Acteurist Oeuvre-view – Lilli Palmer – Part 16: NOBODY RUNS FOREVER (1968) & HARD CONTRACT (1969)
    Jun 28 2024

    After some rocky episodes, our Lilli Palmer Acteurist Oeuvre-view uncovers a couple of gems: Nobody Runs Forever aka The High Commissioner (1968, directed by Ralph Thomas), a spy thriller bursting at the seams with the charms of Rod Taylor and Christopher Plummer, and Hard Contract (1969, the only feature film made by writer-director S. Lee Pogostin), one of the most eccentric movies we've ever seen, a meditation on love, murder, and modern life with Lee Remick and James Coburn as an improbably moving pair of lovers. Lilli Palmer adds her own flavour of eccentricity to Hard Contract as Remick's "immorally innocent" friend and makes a big impact as Christopher Plummer's wife in Nobody Runs Forever.

    Time Codes:

    0h 00m 30s: NOBODY RUNS FOREVER (1968) [dir. Ralph Thomas]

    0h 25m 53s: HARD CONTRACT (1969) [dir. S. Lee Pogostin]

    For this Paramount 1947 Studios Year by Year episode we watch a couple of films by producer/director team of Seton I. Miller and John Farrow: California, starring the belligerent sexual tension of Barbara Stawyck and Ray Milland in a left-leaning fable about the establishment of law and order in the West Coast, and Calcutta, a terrific Alan Ladd/Gail Russell noir, stylishly shot by Billy Wilder fave John F. Seitz.

    Time Codes:

    0h 00m 30s: CALIFORNIA [dir. John Farrow]

    0h 25m 44s: CALCUTTA [dir: John Farrow]
