Multitasking at its finest. I recorded this one from my car during a drive to and from a sporting goods store. The actress I don't remember the name of is Emily Blunt. The movie I can't remember is girl on the train. The movie I'm talking about, Woman in the Window, sucks.

Episode 37: THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW solo episode

Returning guest Joseph Gamble examines Dennis Hopper's notorious disaster "The Last Movie." Well it's a notorious disaster for other people. For me, it's a good movie. The poem at the beginning is "If" by Rudyard Kipling (https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46473/if---). I'll probably rewrite this later.

Episode 36: THE LAST MOVIE with Joseph Gamble

James Griffith returns for a two-hour podcast episode about Beverly Hills Cop, a 106 minute-long movie. While exhuming Eddie Murphy's biggest hit, the conversation sprawled into other Peak Eddie Murphy artifacts like Raw, Delirious, SNL and the masterpiece 48 Hours. This (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ0Qhbm3Xj8) is the Chris Rock movie I mention. It's good! Check it out if you have a minute. I got the name of the Walter Hill prison boxing movie wrong. It's "Undisputed" not Undefeated. The trailer is here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Diy3fuwhxQw). The memo I wrote about the show is below. Beverly Hills Cop Podcast Notes Attendees Adam Bulger, CEO, Cinema Death Cult Industries James Griffith, guest, consultant, spiritual advisor Agenda Axel Foley is the worst movie cop His super-power is deception and disregarding ethical codes of conduct. Makes other cops worse Imagine a newspaper article about plot of this movie The Beverly Hills police are pretty good cops but Axel corrupts them. Eddie Murphy as first black mega-movie star His “blackness” is front and center in the movie For that to happen, he has to play a law and order-upholding cop. Intentionally or not, there’s no romance for him in the film, opening up next point: Is Axel Foley Gay? Axel lies and manipulates everyone but Mikey lies to and manipulates him, like a gender-swapped femme fatale. Movie is ‘80s anti-drug movie made by prolific 80s drug users Notes Fun party movie. Eddie Murphy’s performance is terrific. Great action sequences (car chase in beginning) and filmmaking Amazing ‘80s electro pop/funk soundtrack Judge Reinhold & other guy. The Paul Reiser fakeout (at 8:10, moments before Paul Reiser comes on for the first time, Eddie Murphy walks by an actor that looks strikingly similar to Paul Reiser. Then Paul Reiser leaps into the frame. it's like a jump cut without a cut.) Two of the greatest police chiefs in movie history.

Episode 34: DAFT PUNK MOVIES with Brendan Mahoney

Author and noir expert Richie Narvaez (https://www.richienarvaez.com/) joins me to talk the smokiest, most shadow-drenched film ever made,_ Out of the Past. _ The 1947 black and white Robert Mitchum film is considered to be a quintessential noir film. And, as I reveal in the episode, it's an important influence on my podcast. Richie's most recent book is NOIRYORICAN and you can find out how to buy it here (https://downandoutbooks.com/bookstore/narvaez-noiryorican/). UPDATE: The Bogart/Bacall movie Richie mentions in passing is "Dark Passage."

Episode 33: OUT OF THE PAST With Richie Narvaez

Giant monsters attack! No one is safe! With the release of the new King Kong vs. Godzilla, I invited Jim Knipfel (http://jimknipfel.com/) back on the show to talk about the original monster battle movie. Jim's a longtime Godzilla fan. Or, in his words, obsessive geek. He wrote a great booklength essay on Godzilla called "A Purposeful Grimace" that he told me will soon resurface on his Patreon page, which is here (https://www.patreon.com/jimknipfel) and worth every penny. As you'll see, this episode was fraught with peril and surprises. I was embedded with a crack team of Japanese scientists in the United Nations as a menace of unknown origins tore through--well, I've already said too much. Enjoy.

Episode 32: KING KONG VS GODZILLA with Jim Knipfel

Guitarist and total chiller Dave Cinquegrana (https://www.fivegrainguitar.com/) returns to CDC to talk about the 2004 music documentary Dig! Dig! follows the volatile relationship between the Dandy Warhols and the Brian Jonestown Massacre, two bands that neither David or I like very much. The movie's appeal likes in personalities and conflict, not music. *Show notes: * You can watch Dig! here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvWcfD5cW7k) for free. I mispronounce Antonio Salieri's name but stand by my point. The recent-ish Anton Newcombe jazz 101 video is here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_voU8mhRIrs). The Mr. Show sketch I mention is here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPysJVdO3vM). The video for "Not if you were the Last Junkie on Earth" is here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APrpB-i4d_E).

Episode 31: DIG! With Dave Cinquegrana

Hey! Check it out. A movie podcast about Star Wars. Never ever been done before. Trailblazing. I'm joined by artist and professor Jeff Foye (http://www.jefffoye.com/). Jeff's one of my best friends, something that the easy rapport in this episode makes obvious. We planned to do this as a commentary track for the first Star Wars movie. And it kind of is and kind of isn't at the same time. Tagents a'plenty on this one.

Episode 30: STAR WARS with Jeff Foye
