Longtime listener, long distance runner, fellow local podcaster AND fellow Trekker, Sven, joins us to talk about this foundational film from his formative years. Disney's first foray into less kid-centered material, a sci-fi epic meant to rival the scope and success of Episode IV: A New Hope (1977), Black Hole left quite an impression on your hosts and lead to an epic hang!

The movie Arnold passed on and yet Stalone didn't get involved. With Christopher Lambert in the lead plus support from pod faves Jeffery Combs and Kurtwood Smith (plus a performance from Lincoln Kilpatrick that deserves a better movie), Fortress swings for the fences.

Jane Campion, hot off the critical success of The Piano (1993), helms this adaptation of Henry James' 1881 novel. Two and a half hours of ultra-rich people problems. Neither the cast -full of some of our favorites- nor Campion's willingness to experiment with unconventional techniques could save this one for us.

We bite into this month of films featuring Shelley Duval with Robert Altman's meandering musical movie adaptation of the spinach-powered cartoon sailor man. With Robin Williams in the titular role, Duvall as Olive Oyl; we weren't sure what to expect. And that's exactly what we got. Naturally we end up discussing film as propaganda, occupied Palestine and the coming fall of imperialism.

Don't be fooled by the the title or the marketing for this film, it's not about green terlet goblins really. But is about some vague "black magic" and sick ass shades.

We open Keith's birth month-o-movies with Brian de Palma's rock n roll Faust with a soupçon of Leroux/Lubin and a heaping scoop of Paul Williams. An excess of excess, an explosion of exploitation, a spectacle of split screens -- plus a special appearance by T.O.N.T.O.! We think it makes a perfect follow up to Velvet Goldmine.
