Verifier Andy brings us a Cinemania Field Report on John Carpenter's 1981 action opus "Escape From New York." Kurt Russell vs. Isaac Hayes vs. Lee van Cleef, backed up with a whole coterie of comedown-era character actors in a masterwork of tense, urban combat. Cinemania abounds, ladies and gentlemen. Proceed with caution.

Cinquisitor Ethan presents a Field Report on 1973's "Fantastic Planet," a/k/a "La Planète Sauvage" by Rèné Laloux and Roland Topor. This sci-fi animated feature is a mind-melting source of CINEMANIA and contains some of the weirdest images and sequences that have ever been committed to celluloid, ones which you'll find yourself recalling for the rest of your life. Watch at your peril.

Yeahhhh... here's one more re-run for you folks because summer vacation ahoy. Verifier Andy tells us about the fine tradition of breaking the fourth wall.

This past week the world bid farewell to New Zealand's Sam Neill, one of Oceania's finest actors. We rebroadcast Verifier Andy's Profile on him in his memory.

As it would appear we're entering an era when certain aspects of speech are being curtailed (*cough* criticism of the ruling political party *cough cough*), we bring back an episode wherein Professor Andrea discusses "Magical Realism," a means by which people in previous instances of police states could make their ideas known without saying the actual words or communicating the ideas that would get them locked up. Enjoy?

Cinquisitor Ethan (with a heapin' helpin' of help from Verifier Andy) presents a Field Report on the CINEMANIA-inducing movie trope of post-apocalypticism. It might not have begun in the '80s, but if we learned anything from that decade, it was how to sell literally *anything,* even the end of the world.
