    37 Rear Window (1954)
    2025/01/31
    In one of the most magnificent careers in cinema history, Alfred Hitchcock outdid himself with a run from 1951 to 1960 that encapsulated not only some of the best Hollywood films of the decade, but of all time. In the middle of this impressive flex is Hitch’s complex ode to gender roles, gender relationships, and expectations. Hitchcock, who already had gone everywhere and done everything for film, challenged himself by limiting everything except his imagination. Rear Window was shot on one set with minimal actors, and included his lead actor not just staying in one room, but staying in one chair for the entire film. Casting Jimmy Stewart, America’s all town boy, against type as a voyeur, Hitchcock uses a high form of the Kuleshov Effect to tell an insidious tale of murder in the big city. Join Dave Anderson and I as we muse scene by scene through the Master’s use of light, incredible technicolor camera panning, and do I need to mention Grace Kelly, to create a subtext describing the phases, levels, and intricacies of being in love and being human. Along the way we discuss Stewart’s role as the first Redditor, De Palma’s aping of the master, and how even Die Hard rips off Hitchcock.

    36.4 Don't Google "Roy Cohn's Bedroom"
    2024/12/28
    Luke and I start off by discussing Ali Abbassi’s controversial biopic “The Apprentice.” We try to talk about the President Elect’s record as a rapist, his friendship with Roy Cohn, and well... at least we tried. Meander we did through our cinema experiences while Luke is in Deutschland. We discuss what we’ve seen, what we haven’t, and then Luke takes plenty of time scrolling through my Letterbxd to roast my reviews. There must be better ways to spend time with your son than on Zoom talking horror, Steven Seagal, and Golan Globus Cinema, but I don’t know what they are. Thanks for hanging out with Luke and I while we talked about The Apprentice. Find Rozalind MacPhail’s music at www.rozalindmacphail.com . You can find the Super 70 Podcast wherever you find podcasts.

    Luke is going to school in Berlin this semester and there’s no good reason why he can’t keep up with the release schedule. In between Brewmaster classes, history classes, and yes, a true to form Deutch Kino Class, Luke has been streaming Prime and heading down to you guessed it, Berlin Alexanderplatz, or Zoo Station to see what it is the rest of the world says is great... or sucks. A little background if you hear us toss around a few terms. An OV in German cinemas is the Original Version. This screening will have no changes whatsoever. No dubbing, no subtitles (unless they’re part of the original film). OmU is Original Mit untertiteln, Meaning ‘original with subtitles’, OmU films have the original audio* along with subtitles. Unless otherwise specified, assume these subtitles are German. OmdU stands for Original mit deutschen Untertiteln. This is the film in OV with German subtitles. Then there is OmeU or Original mit englischen Untertiteln. Films with English subtitles since there are so many English speakers in Germany. Last is DF for Deutsche Fassung meaning German Version. This is the first one German audiences look for, meaning it has been dubbed into German. Most Hollywood film are dubbed into German, and most theatres in Germany carry both the DF and the Omdu. This episode we catch up and find out what the other is seeing. Find Rozalind MacPhail’s music at www.rozalindmacphail.com Find Warren Hayes on Twitter @Warren_Hayes.

    Once again we are faced with the fact that sometimes the best conversations are the meandering ones we have after the commentary is over. I asked Warren Hayes and Paul Emig to stay over a little loner, have a couple of beers, and talk about our favorite caped crusader, why comic book films are fading, and why they still enthrall us. But first, David Lynch. And later, the English Patient. Find Rozalind MacPhail’s music at www.rozalindmacphail.com Find Warren Hayes on Twitter @Warren_Hayes.

    36 Batman (1989)
    2024/10/20
    In one of the bravest acts of Cinema History, Warner Brothers decided to give Tim Burton, a former Disney animator with a whopping two directing credits to his name, the keys to the Batcave. One of Burton’s most controversial decisions, casting comedic actor Michael Keaton as the brooding millionaire Bruce Wayne. The cinema event of the summer, Batman 1989 touched pop culture in a way that exceeded even Richard Donner’s Superman of the previous decade. Launching a franchise that lasted almost a decade, Batman 1989 also launched several other comic book properties hoping to grab hold of a new audience buying an increasing amount of comic books. Much loved by a generation, it is also much maligned by those like me who feel the World’s Greatest Detective needs to be more like Frank Miller and less like Batman ‘66.

    After we recorded The Phantom Menace Commentary, Warren and Paul and I pontificated on the many reasons the film did not succeed even though it had tons of pluses to it. We discuss the action figure market, the genius of Carrie Fisher, and that thing we all hate with a passion: sand.

    2024/08/23
    After sixteen years of a fanbase growing into adulthood, George Lucas dropped fifty millon dollars of Lucasfilm Limited’s money into the surest bet in Hollywood history: The first film in a new trilogy of Star Wars films. Though distributed by Fox and produced by Rick McCallum, Star Wars, Episode I: The Phantom Menace would be exactly like the first film from 1977. Lucas would have total control over screenplay, production, casting, editing, and marketing. What emerged was the most controversial franchise film in history, a movie that conflicted with Canon, had red herrings, left some audiences confused, some angry, and had the greatest lightsaber duel in history. Twenty-five years later, Warren Hayes, Paul Emig and myself go through The Phantom Menace scene by scene as we lament what could have been and appreciate what we do like. Join us as we watch the Phantom Menace and discuss all thing Lucas: including racism, bad acting, our total respect for Ahmed Best, and how much all of us miss Marcia Lucas.
