SHOWNOTES: Welcome back to our review of the beloved 80s action-adventure film trilogy Indiana Jones (which definitely ended there and was never followed by any sequels)! Last time we analyzed Raiders of the Lost Ark, and in Part 2 we'll be covering the last two movies: Temple of Doom and Last Crusade. Starting with arguably the weakest link of the trilogy and the "black sheep" of the film series, and ending with what many consider to be the peak of the franchise, it'll make for an... illuminating (read that in your best Sean Connery accent) discussion. This duo, for better or worse (almost entirely better) helped define the original Indiana Jones story, which in turn influenced cinema in ways we cannot overstate. So, follow us on the conclusion of this epic journey! *cue theme music*

SHOWNOTES: Grab your bullwhip and fedora, because Collateral Cinema is covering one of, if not the best action-adventure movie series of all time: the Indiana Jones Trilogy! That's right: the trilogy. That's it. Three films. No others have ever been made and you won't convince us otherwise. Follow us for this special two-part episode; in Part 1, we'll be covering the very first installment: Raiders of the Lost Ark! Considered among the greatest movies ever made, this 1981 flick was directed by Steven Spielberg; co-written by Lawrence Kasdan, George Lucas, and Philip Kaufman; and stars Harrison Ford in his debut as the immortal character Indiana Jones—arguably his best role. Raiders isn't just a damn good film that stands the test of time, but a keystone of movie sub-culture, containing many of the most iconic scenes in cinema, and being the start of a celebrated American media franchise. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we'll be covering Temple of Doom and Last Crusade!

Ep 83: Collateral Cinema vs. Neil LaBute’s The Wicker Man (2006) (SPOILERS)

Title: The Wicker Man [Wikipedia] [IMDb]

Director: Neil LaBute

Producers: Nicolas Cage, Boaz Davidson, Randall Emmett, Norm Golightly, Avi Lerner, John Thompson

Writer(s): Neil LaBute (screenplay), Anthony Shaffer (original film), David Pinner (original novel)

Stars: Nicolas Cage, Ellen Burstyn, Kate Beahan, Frances Conroy, Molly Parker, Leelee Sobieski, Diane Delano

Release date: September 1, 2006 (US/CA)

PROMO: Anime Talk (@AnimeTalk12)

SHOWNOTES: It's Cagin' time on Collateral Cinema Movie Podcast, as we continue Bad Movie December with a look at Neil LaBute's 2006 remake of The Wicker Man, starring none other than the One True God Himself: Nicolas Fucking Cage. This reimagining of the original 1973 horror film (itself an adaptation of the 1967 horror novel Ritual) manages to be batshit in completely different ways than its source material(s) and also (un)intentionally hysterical, in no small part due to Nic Cage's classic over-the-top performance working harmoniously with a hilariously inept script. Being our very first Cage review on the podcast, how does it rank amongst the legendary 60-year-old actor/producer's filmography as well as "so bad it's good" cinema? Find out now, and stay tuned for our January content, including a two-part analysis of the Indiana Jones Trilogy and more!

Ep 80: John Waters’ Pink Flamingos – Collateral Cinema Movie Podcast (SPOILERS)

Producer: John Waters

Writer: John Waters

Stars: Divine, David Lochary, Mink Stole, Mary Vivian Pearce, Danny Mills, Edith Massey

Release date: March 17, 1972

PROMO: Anime Talk (@AnimeTalk12)

SHOWNOTES: Happy Thanksgiving, movie fans! On today's episode of Collateral Cinema, Beau and Robert are taking a look at John Waters' 1972 black comedy film Pink Flamingos, notorious for its controversial content and themes. Banned in several countries since its release, yet preserved in the National Film Registry as of 2021, this cult film starring the late drag queen icon Divine is a notable form of abject art in media and outrageously unhinged in its depiction of exploitative topics. So, enjoy the show, and stay tuned for our next episode on Rocky III by the end of the month!
