SHOWNOTES: Welcome to our rural American nightmare, Collateral Cinema listeners! That's right, hosts Beau, Robert, and Ash go back to the 90s arthouse, as we explore Harmony Korine's (@harmfulkorine) classically disturbing 1997 debut, Gummo. This film challenged us in many, many ways; with it's unique approach to cinematography, complete lack of a three-arc story structure, use of non-actors for realistic impact, stream of consciousness script writing, and the nightmarish dive into the depravity and emptiness of the American dream. This movie is peircing, haunting, disturbing, and unlike anything else released before or since; join us, as we barely scratch the surface of this twisted American psycho-drama, and take a trip with us into the dark underbelly of the American Zeitgeist.

SHOWNOTES: "You hear that, Collateral Cinema fans? They're my hooooves! My hooooooooooooves!!!! Listen as they go clippity-clop, clippity-clop! Hahahahahahahah!"

...Oh yeah, folks; Collateral Cinema is taking on Tom Green's (@tomgreenlive) impressively surreal, yet universally panned 2001 absurdist comedy Freddy Got Fingered! We're wholly convinced this film is far more deserving of actual film analysis than it has received in the past, so hosts Beau, Robert, and Ash dissected and analyzed Tom Green's brazenly original humor, the strangely karma-free universe the movie operates in, each and every memorable bit of writing and acting, and every infinitely quotable scene. We also dive into the heady times that were pre/post-9/11 film culture. We also put forth an argument for Freddy Got Fingered to receive a place in the venerable Criterion Collection, and we dive into the massively negative critical response to this work, and how Freddy Got Fingered achieved a solid cult following and critical renaissance in the past few years. So remember in closing, Collateral Cinema fans:

"I'm the backwards man, the backwards man; I can walk backwards fast as you can! I'm the backwards man, the backwards man..."

Title: Rocky [Wikipedia] [IMDb]

Director: John G. Avildsen

Producers: Irwin Winkler, Robert Chartoff

Writer: Sylvester Stallone

Stars: Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burt Young, Carl Weathers, Burgess Meredith

Release date: December 3, 1976 (US)

SHOWNOTES: Collateral Cinema is back in action, ya'll! Hosts Robert, Beau, and Ash return to analyze, review, and deconstruct the 1976 iconic boxing/sports epic, Rocky! Sylvester Stallone gave us one of his all-time classic performances for this movie, and we feel this is truly a film that is more pertinent and more necessary in these trying times; we were truly blown away by how well it holds up all these years. We talk about Stallone's overall career, the anime-esque feel to Rocky's character, the autobiographical nature of Stallone's writing, and how Rocky is the quintessential modern American folk hero. Join our discussion, and prepare to be inspired!
