The Kulturecast

We take a break from Mike White March to check out the latest entry into the meta-horror franchise, Scream 5. Starring a mix of legacy characters and new faces, the film reintroduces Ghostface to a whole new group of savvy teens as they attempt to stop the killings before it's too late. It's a worthy entry into one of the truly great series. Singer Andy Gnosis and former Kulture Shocked writer Yashar Pirasteh join Chris to talk about the film, the series as a whole, and where it goes from here.

It's Mike White March once again, and this year, it's all Chow Yun-Fat films! To kick the month off, we take a look at a film that's a little bit Indiana Jones, a little bit martial arts, and a whole lot of high strangeness: The Seventh Curse. Starring Chow Yun-Fat, he plays Wisely, a sidekick to Dr. Yuen, an ass-kicking doctor tasked with breaking an ancient blood curse. Their adventure pits them against ghosts, demons, and karate monks. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about Chow Yun-Fat, the Dr. Yuen series, and other Indiana Jones adjacent films.

We finish Begleyuary with a Paul Schrader film where he confronts his religious belief along with the changing times: Hardcore. Starring George C. Scott as a Calvinist father who goes to LA to find his lost daughter, he finds that she has fallen into the world of pornography. He then attempts to find her, and bring her home, all the while keeping his sanity and faith. Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley and Cult Movie's Anthony King join Chris to talk about Schrader films, pornography, and George C. Scott.

We take one more break from Begley on Begley with a reappraisal of the oft-maligned fourth sequel in the Indiana Jones franchise: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Directed by Spielberg and starring Harrison Ford, Indiana Jones must battle Russians, giant ants, and double agents on his quest to discover the mystery of the crystal skull. It's a mouthful just summarizing it; imagine watching the movie! Former Kulture Shocked writer Yashar Pirasteh joins Chris to talk about Shia LeBeouf's film and the Mutt Cut.

We continue Begleyuary with another film that looks at a subculture that doesn't get enough cinematic love: Citizens Band. The film is directed by Jonathan Demme and stars an ensemble cast of characters who live and breathe CB radios in their small Nebraska town. Imagine "Cockfighter" but with radios instead of chickens, and you kind of get the idea. Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley, The Projection Booth's Mike White, and Pulp-Serenade's Cullen Gallagher join Chris to talk about Demme's films, and Bruce McGill.

We continue Begleyuary with a film as controversial as it is entertaining primarily due to the titular bloodsport: Cockfighter. Directed by Monte Hellman and starring Warren Oates, it follows Frank, a fighter of cocks, who takes a vow of silence until he wins the Cockfighter of the Year award. Shades of "The Odyssey" and other road movies, along with a mesmerizing performance from Oates, make it a memorable experience. Ed Begley Jr. is here too, and actual chickens fighting, so, a caveat. Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley, and The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film, Disney live-action movies, and Cesar Romero.

We take another break from Begleyuary with a look at a remake of a 1947 film based on a book: Nightmare Alley. Directed by Guillermo Del Toro, the film stars Bradley Cooper as Stanton Carlisle, a down on his luck carny, who takes his mentalism act a step too far in 1940's New York. Former Kulture Shocked writer Yashar Pirasteh joins Chris to talk about the film, Bradley Cooper, and Guillermo Del Toro.
