On a special double feature/dual podcast episode of 70 Movies We Saw in the 70s/Cinematalk commemorating the screenings of both films at UW Cinematheque, Ben Reiser and Jim Healy take a deep dive into a “Fistful of Feiffers”, discussing both LITTLE MURDERS (1971) and CARNAL KNOWLEDGE (1971). ‘71 was a big year for screenwriter/playwright/cartoonist Jules Feiffer, with Alan Arkin’s LITTLE MURDERS and Mike Nichols’ CARNAL KNOWLEDGE both hitting screens within six months of each other. Listen along as Jim and Ben try to suss out Feiffer’s inspirations, figure out what genres these films do and don’t fall into, Elliott Gould on top of the world, Candice Bergen’s best work, waiting for Godard, Gordon Willis goes wild, Nicholson as man-baby, magnificent Ann Margret, and much more, including not one, but TWO rounds of “What else was playing that week?”.

On an all-new, epic 70 Movies We Saw in the 70s, Ben and interim co-host Jim Healy take a deep dive into deep space to dissect an all-time sci-fi/body horror classic, Ridley Scott's 1979 masterpiece, ALIEN.

Come for the atmosphere, cinematography, naturalistic performances and profound mystery, stay for ribald stories of Miss Hidden Valley, Johnny Dangerously, Francis Veber, and an intense game of "Which film has aged better, ________ or Alien?"

On this special episode of 70 Movies We Saw in the 70s, Ben and interim co-host Jim Healy take a deep dive into the one-of-a-kind Charles Bronson/Jill Ireland two-hander, FROM NOON TILL THREE (1976). The centerpiece of the episode is an interview Jim recently conducted with Dan Gilroy (NIGHTCRAWLER, ROMAN J ISRAEL, VELVET BUZZSAW) whose father, Frank Gilroy, was the writer-director of NOON. This interview was originally recorded for Cinematalk, the podcast of the UW Cinematheque. We've also got a dissection of Vincent Canby's New York Times review, and a rousing edition of "what else was playing that week?".

For Scott’s last episode before he goes on tour, we take a deep dish dive into DePalma’s Chicago movie, THE FURY. As would only be appropriate for a foray such as this, we bring along film historians and co- hosts of the Windy City Double Feature Picture Show podcast, Adam Carston and Mike Vanderbilt. Together, the four of us leave no stone unturned, no vein un-bulged, no Cassavetes unexploded, no Douglas undressed… oh wait that last one isn’t right. Anyway, we had an Amy Irving-style blast and we think you will too. Enjoy!
