And because we're all about redundancy (if that's the word), here is a LIGHTNING ROUND of films that Jack saw that were up for the 87th Academy awards; none of them won what they were nominated for, but they also screened last year at the Cannes Film Festival, where they all picked up various prizes.

1) Mr. Turner

2) Timbuktu

3) The Salt of the Earth

Song at the end: The Rolling Stones - Salt of the Earth

Also - Please make sure to check out the scene this clip goes with for full visual effect for Mr. Turner ("The Artist Paints" is the title)

This may seem like quite the combination, but here at the Wages of Cinema we like putting our movies together like a warped smoothie - in this case it's full of machismo, gay rights, and that classic screwball couple from the 1930's your mom (and Jack) loves)

So here we have a block of more Myrna Loy & William Powell movies, Andrew watches The Dirty Dozen, Jack gets hooked up with another Vaughn/Millar comic book flick, and both hosts get into a discussion on Gus van Sant's Oscar-winning 2008 film MILK (and also Dan White in particular)

1) Loy & Powell Block (After the Thin Man, Manhattan Melodrama, Evelyn Prentice)

2) The Dirty Dozen (starts 17:40)

3) Kingsman: The Secret Service (24:30)

4) Milk (33:30)

Featuring clips/trailer bytes from all the films.

Bet you never heard this combination walk into a bar at once, eh?

This week we have more movies of both new(ish) and classic varieties. We also start off the show addressing something we forgot to mention in our talk on the Lopez underground classic The Boy Next Door, and then get into the following:

1) Jupiter Ascending (6:00)

2) Snowpiercer (20:35)

3) Point Blank (1967) (38:40)

4) All About Eve (1950) (45;20)

Clips from the first three films & trailers featured, also the 'Eve; score by Alfred Newman. Podcast is recorded and owned by WoC

"GET ME A MIC!"

(Featuring clips from the trailer for CITIZEN KANE, THE CRITIC, ORSON WELLES OUTTAKES, MILTON BRADLEY COMMERCIAL, and THE TRIAL)

Jack and Andrew talk about their next couple of films from their respective lists (of movies to see over the year) and dig into classic 1930's Hollywood: for Andrew it's Lloyd Bacon and Busby Berkeley's 42nd Street and for Jack it's the Dashiell Hammett adaptation, The Thin Man.

Oh, and we also make a crack at Stephen King's expense. For.. reasons.

More movies! Featuring:

Cinderella: 00:00 - 11:51

The Boy Next Door: 11:52

Alice in Wonderland 2010/Oz the Great & Powerful: 18:42

Safe/Still Alice: 39:00

(Song at end is the opening track from 'Safe')

In part 2 of this epic-length episode 6 of the podcast, Jack and Andrew talk about the new films from Michael Mann (Blackhat) and JC Chandor (A Most Violent Year), as well as the cult classic Repo Man

Welcome back! Something a little different this time around - we had such a long podcast that we'll be splitting up the discussion into more easily digestible bite-sized portions. Here we have the start, and a talk about two movies seen by both of our intrepid hosts: the German/British exploitation pic 'Penetration Angst (2003)' and Kevin Smith's latest foray into Grindhouse territory with 'Tusk'.

A look in our 'Required Reading' segment at the recently released Patton Oswalt memoir 'Silver Screen Fiend'.
