On this episode of Cinemallennials,  I talked with Harry Marks, writer for Cabinet of Curiosities  and host of Let’s All Go to The Lobby on Tiktok about 1958’s A Night to Remember, hailed by many as the most accurate depiction of the tragic sinking of the Titanic on the silver screen.

While not the most well-known film in the United States, A Night to Remember has left an indelible mark on not only audience members, but generations of directors, and the disaster genre as a whole.

A Night to Remember follows the story of the sinking of the Titanic, from its beginning to its terrible end, from its lower class passengers trying to make a new life for themselves to its stiff upper lip of the upper echelon.. So sit back try to relax, and most importantly, look out for icebergs

Myself and my guest will open your eyes to the vast landscape of classic film as we discuss the films' performers,  their performances, those behind the camera, and how they and their films still influence our world today.

Hello my name is David Lewis and I am the host of Cinemallennials, a podcast where myself and another millennial watch a classic film ranging from the 1890s to 1969 and discuss its significance and relevance in our world today.

On this episode of Cinemallennials,  I talked with educator and Tiktoker, Tristan Ettleman, about one of my favorite films of all time, Laurel and Hardy’s 1934

Babes In Toyland does not only have personal significance for me as I go on to tell the story in this episode but is significant in his place as a historic children’s film but as well as a holiday film as thousands of people every Thanksgiving and Christmas in America tune into this wonderful,

Starring the original comedy duo, Stan Laurel and Oliver

When the boys can’t cover the mortgage after mistakenly making 100 soldiers at 6 foot high instead of making 600 soliders at one foot high for Santa Claus they have to turn to hysterical ways to help Old Mother Hubbard and Bo Peep. Once doing so, Barnaby swears his revenge by recruiting monsters called the Boogeymen to take over Toyland but the 100 soldiers the Boys made might have something to say about that!  

So sit back , relax and enjoy the movie while

On this episode of Cinemallennials I spoke with author James Krouse his book, A Bird in the Deep: The True Story of the USS Partridge.” And how it relates to 1956’s The Caine Mutiny starring former Navyman himself, Humphrey Bogart.

The Caine Mutiny is not like a lot of the films that we have covered on the show before, while it’s a hidden gem for millennials

Hello my name is David Lewis and I am the host of Cinemallennials, a podcast where myself and another millennial watch a classic film ranging from the 1890s to 1969 and discuss its significance and relevance in our world today.

On today’s episode of Cinemallennials, I talked with Matt Duffy from ReelGoldRundown on Instagram and TikTok and we talked about a film that transformed visual effects and the media of animation forever, 1933’s King Kong.

Spielberg, Jackson, Del Toro, and Shigeru Miyamoto all would admit to the fact that their careers would have never reached the heights they have gained if they had never been exposed to the enticing and soul-searching phenomenon, that is King Kong. Whether its revolutionary stop-motion animation, its introduction of the original scream queen, or its ascent to the top of the Empire State Building King Kong is arguably one of the most influential pieces of media of all time

King Kong follows the story of adventurer/filmmaker, Carl Denham who stumbles upon a down on her luck actress Ann Darrow and brings her on the trip and terror of a lifetime. After inappropriately interacting with the indigenous peoples on their destination Ann is kidnapped and then sacrificed to the horrific beast that is Kong.

For the past 90 years King Kong has capturing audience both old and young as it poses so many questions. So, sit back, relax and try to answer the question: Was it truly beauty that killed the beast?

 The Caine Mutiny is not like a lot of the films that we have covered on the show before, while it’s a hidden gem for millennials like myself and the younger generations, to James and those of his generation who grew up with the film it’s one of the most influential depictions of military life and court life on screen and one of the most influential films for directors like William Friedkin and Vince Gilligan

Before we get into the show today, this episode was recorded on December 2nd, 2021, 54 days before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. When the invasion occurred Rachael and I made sure that we wanted to make this and the following points clear. We stand with Ukraine and that we made this with the intention of discussing the film’s historical and cultural significance and to contextualize it for our time.

On today’s episode of Cinemallennials I talked to Rachael Crawley, making it 3 out of three K Cut hosts and we talked about Sergei Eisenstein’s medieval epic, Alexander Nevsky. Mostly known for his Soviet supported and majorly influential films like Battleship Potempkin, and October: Ten Days that Shook the World, Sergei Eisenstein is not only considered one of the first film theorists, but is often considered as one of the greatest artists the screen has ever known.

While Nevsky isn’t the first propaganda film, it’s visionary director, paved the way we see historical epics and how they are created. From his use of undercranking the camera, shot composition, and use of powerful score, Eisenstein began a seemingly never ending thread of how moving images can influence an audience into believing that they too can emulate the characters and situations on screen.

Alexander Nevsky follows the story of The Battle on the Ice, a pivotal conflict in Russian history in which Russian Prince Alexander Nevksy, fought The Germanic Teutonic Order fought to save Russian Orthodoxy. After the knights of the Teutonic Order sack the city of Pskov Alexander rallies his the peasantry to form a small army in order to repel the almighty power of the papally backed Teutonic Knights. Alexander Nevsky and its impact today exhibits just how powerfully long lasting the silver screen can be. SO sit back relax and let there be no more war.

On today’s episode of Cinemallennials, I talked with Will Pender, host of Now that’s What I Call A Podcast about the silent horror classic, The Phantom of the Opera starring the Man of a Thousand Faces, Lon Chaney, and the original scream queen, Mary Philbin. Lon Chaney paved the way for all of our favorite grotesque but deeply human onscreen characters. Costumed and made up creatures like Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolfman, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Apes from The Planet of the Apes, The Elephant Man, Jar Jar Binks, The Amphibian Man from The Shape of Water and one of my all-time favorites, Gollum/Sméagol could have never been realized if Lon Chaney and his makeup never appeared on screen. 

Based on Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel, The Phantom of the Opera follows the story of Christine Daae, a young singer who for years has been tutored by a kindly masked figure, known to her as Spirit of Music but known to everyone else as The Phantom of the Opera, a shadowy spirit that causes chaos when his musical sensibilities are disturbed by the Opera’s owners.  Defied once more and thought to have been betrayed by his muse, our, sometimes recognized as an empathetic figure, the Phantom goes on a rampage claiming if he can’t have Christine, no one can. So sit back, relax, and befriend the outcast.

You can purchase The Phantom of the Opera here.

On today’s episode of Cinemallennials, I talk with another K Cut podcast host, James Bunn about Frederico Fellini’s master work on the process of filmmaking, 8 ½. Frederico Fellini’s legacy is that of his films, grounded fantasy, a cavalcade of nostalgia, fever dreams, lust, and desire. From Tim Burton to David Lynch, Fellini is revered as one of the masters of surrealist cinema. 

Considered as one of the greatest films and filmmakers of all time, from both a technical perspective boasting praise amongst other cinematic legends like Martin Scorsese, Ferderico Fellini’s 8 ½ is a tour into the soul of an artist. Someone that both believes in their own hype and yet doesn’t one that tries to express the truths of life and the condition of humanity but perpetuates lies. 

8 ½ follows the story of Guido Anselmi, a famous Italian director that is stuck between reminiscing on his past, and developing his next great project. Caught between his writers block, nagging producers, his affair with his wife and the pressure of being an artist, Guido’s life both professionally and personally is crumbling. Will this next project be his magnum opus? Or will it fade away in the bustle of this circus we call life? So sit back, relax, and don’t climb out of your car in bumper to bumper traffic. You can purchase 8 1/2 here.
