1! 1 Movie! Ah-ah-ah! But no, that's TWO! TWO MOVIES! Ah-ah-ah! No, I read that wrong, it's uh, 2 MINUTE MOVIE REVIEWS! TOO MANY MOVIES TO COUNT!! AH-AH-AH-AH ok I'll stop now.

After talking about a newscaster in 1982 ruining the end of a classic film, and what makes the hosts unnerved watching a movie, a bevvy of horror movies are discussed by Andrew (listen up MARIO BAVA fans!), while Jack checks out a slate of new (mostly independent) releases. Oh, and there's that dude with the ants...

A man of many hats, Devin Klos is an actor - you can see him in the image weidling a "laser-sword" in the pilot for LOSERS - and also a writer (his first book, 'Demiurge', is coming soon), musician (available for weddings) and does two podcasts of his own, one on sports called "Bush League", and another on how movies and art gets made called "I Work in Production". Good talk!

So, question to ask: is Gone with the Wind racist? Should it be banned? Should that even be a real question (given that it's the highest grossing film - still, of all time adjusted for inflation)? But what about historical context? Or, for that matter, the AFI top 100 lists? Wait, what about that last part?

Jack and Andrew in the main discussion on this episode of the Wages of Cinema discuss the recent (not really) controversies that have spiked sales of the classic David O. Selznick production, and then get into a much lengthier discussion about something even more exciting - what made them interested to see movies when they were younger thanks to movie lists from the likes of the AFI TV specials.

What do American Graffiti and Sergeant York have in common? Aside from 'MERICA (as the kids now say it)? How about depictions of characters at crossroads in life? What to do with oneself in society? Uh... other things?

We explore George Lucas' seminal rock n roll teenagers flick that is his only non-franchise hit, and Howard Hawks' sophisticated telling of a simple man who became a hero.

After a brief discussion about whether or not Lebron James can act (based off of the trailer for TRAINWRECK of all things), and a few imitations (by email request!) it's Moooooovie time! Lots of movies, both new and classic, some hardcore auteurs to discuss (Herzog, Bergman, Dreyer, PT Anderson), including some tough 90's flicks, war movies (not of the conventional kind), and much much more.

And what's that? Yeah, the new Pixar. Well, duh?

You can look at his IMDb. Or that image that says everything he's done and then some - insert DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN, THE MUMMY, JAMES BOND, SHERLOCK HOLMES, LORD OF THE RINGS, STAR WARS, REAL-LIFE WW2 BAD-ASS SPY, RASPUTIN, FU MANCHU, METAL AND HAMMER GOD - but we at the Wages of Cinema know that a few more words must be spoken for a man who worked in over 200 films. A career as wide-ranging as Alejandro Jodorowsky, Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton, and Richard Lester and many many many many more.

Men at the crossroads. Lancelot of the Lake. Robert Dupea. Worlds involving the Round Table with daring-do in England, and the existential desolation of oil and cold south-north-west coast. Sword fights and disagreements over toast. Chivalry and piano. CINEMASCOPE and BBS.

Here we got a film that may have not been seen like Sword in the Stone or Excalibur, but it's worth talking about another Arthurian cinematic adaptation nonetheless for Jack. Meanwhile, Andrew takes in Jack Nicholson's breakthrough as a leading man in this character drama.

1) KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE (1954) directed by Richard Thorpe

2) FIVE EASY PIECES (1970) directed by Bob Rafelson

(Opening music from Miklos Rosza's score for 'Knights', closing music from Chopin)

We start off with a talk about the very departed James Horner (Aliens, Wrath of Khan, so many more). Then at around the 8 minute mark we get to talking about new/classic movies we've seen with two minutes a piece. We go across from new blockbusters to Harold Ramis comedies to Charles Laughton, to Bela Tarr, James Gunn and Satyajit Ray (the latter gets 4 mins). Jack, as usual, gets into marathon mode at the 28 minute mark.
