Whoa 11 movies today, we normally like to do around six.
Do I remember any of these let’s see, it’s been a bit, and we watch a lot of movies.
Starting off we have a possibly drunk John Houston directing the great Susan Tyrell in
(Fat city 1972). Then it’s on to a bit of a quirky blaxploitation classic (Melinda 1972).Starring Rosiland Cash, Calvin Lockhart, and Jim Kelly, yes Jim Kelly, the guy who bests the violent racist police and then drives away in their squad car from the hit film Enter the Dragon.
Next is 1975’s (Cooley High) starring Freddie boom boom Washington and, oh wait, please excuse me whilst I pour some out for our friends who can’t be here……
(Cornbread Earl n me 1975) is very heavy, and it’s as topical today as it was then. A must see film, also you must see the young Lawrence Fishburne, I mean cowboy Curtis as he tries to make sense of all this madness.
Gawd still 7 to go. In (Sybil 1976) Sally field and her therapist with unlimited time (Joanne Woodward) also try to rise above and figure out all the damned madness. Should come with a trigger warning, the topics can get severely heavy, so take warning.
Moving on to (September 30, 1955 1977) where Johnboy from the waltons is sad over the death of James Dean and should be nicer to his goth friend, Dennis Quaid and Amadeus.
Next it’s (American hot wax 1978) where Jay Leno is an ass to Fran Drescher and Tim McIntire plays Alan Freed who is less racist then most and is constantly followed by do wop groups.
Moving onto
(Sgt. peppers lonely hearts club band 1978).
Just watch it folks. You got Barry Gibb gettin high, Aerosmith gettin higher, and Earth Wind and Fire taking you all the way to the top.
Next up to the plate is 1978’s sci-fi classic (The alpha incident) finally available for us to see and to find out that…….um it’s not good. Don’t leave this room or your head will explode, even that sounds cooler than it is. Would you like to know more……
Our last 2 movies this episode are both Gene Roddenberry made for tv films. (Genesis II 1973) and (Planet earth 1974). Where’s the Questor tapes you ask, well we gave that one the full decade under the influence treatment. You’ll find it under episode 49. These 2 go together anyway. Press play mate and we will tell you all about porn stache Dylan Hunt and John Saxon Dylan Hunt.
Alright thems the reviews and we are out of here, thank you for listening.
