DYN-O-MITE!
Why didn't this film get any theatrical distribution?
Who knew Michael Jai White could be funny?
This film was lovingly described to me as a "Shaun of the Dead" style satire of classic blaxploition films.
Let's see how that description holds up...

Tuesday, July 13, 2010 at 11:23PM So we've gotten several requests to cover a Peter Sellers movie, and high on the list has been 'The Party', but truth be told "Brown-face" performances kinda make me a little uncomfortable, so we picked a different Sellers film.
After reviewing 'Harold and Maude' with guest host Daran Norris, we HAD to return to Hal Ashby! The fact that Ashby directed Sellers in his penultimate role sealed the deal.

Tuesday, June 22, 2010 at 10:45PM No no really. Marie suggested this film MONTHS ago, and based solely on the weakness of it's title, we've been panning it just as long, that is until Marie drugged us and forced us to watch it Clockwork Orange style.
Once we recovered we both had to agree that this is quite possibley the funniest film about a serial killer ever made...
... or it could just be the brainwashing... I get kind of ill whenever I hear Beethoven now too...

Wednesday, May 26, 2010 at 8:24AM We had SUCH a great time with our anniversary episode, we HAD to have Bert Saxby back on the show! "Bert" is actually none other than Daran Norris (whose IMDB page is as long as my torso), and when we asked him which film he would to cover, he jumped at the chance to talk about 'Harold and Maude'.
A dark romantic comedy, 'Harold and Maude' (and Ashby's direction) is in every way the spiritual precurser to directors like Wes Anderson. Featuring a fantastic cast, great direction, an alienating yet life affirming story, and impeccable editing, 'Harold and Maude' has all the trappings of a cult classic.
What did Daran have to say about it?

This 1980 adventure movie was once descirbed by it's author as "James Bond, minus the sex, guns, and gadgets".
So how does THAT work?
