For this Friday Movie Night, first up is La Chimera (2023), an adventure film about a supernaturally-talented Br*tish graverobber who reunites with his crew of misfits in 1980s Tuscany in search of a magical door to the underworld. Strange antics ensue. Critics are calling it the film-festival version of Indiana Jones, and indeed, it did win a bunch of awards on the festival circuit; sounds good to me. Director is Alice Rohrwacher, who is otherwise best-known for the similarly magical-realist Happy as Lazzaro (2018). Let’s give it a whirl.

After that is Br*tish working-class slice-of-life I, Daniel Blake (2016), the tale of an aging man who suffers a career-ending injury and has to navigate the hellish state bureaucracy to get his welfare benefits. God Damn the UKKK: The Movie. Director is Ken Loach, whose films Kes (1969) and The Hand That Shakes the Barley (2006) we have already watched; both were hits on Hextube, and this one is also highly-acclaimed, so we’re checking it out.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:

By popular demand, for this special Thursday edition of Anime Night, we’re watching Fantasia (1940), Disney’s legendary musical anthology, effectively a series of animated music videos set to classical pieces. But wait! There’s more. We’re also watching the well-regarded Italian parody of Fantasia, Allegro Von Troppo (1976), which does much the same thing, but with many sly lampoons of its predecessor., as well live-action comedic interludes. And you know what, fuck it, we’ll watch Fanttasia 2000 (1999) tonight too. It is the shorter sequel to Fantasia that animates a slew of new pieces, but reuses the Sorcerer’s Apprentice sequence, because everyone likes that one. Holy shit, this is gonna be a lot of Fantasia.

For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up, by popular demand, is the legendary splatter-horror film Society (1989), concerning a deranged sex-cult of the rich and powerful who literally eat the poor. A young man discovers his parents are part of the cult, and things go downhill from there. Think of it as the B-movie version of Eyes Wide Shut (1999), to which reviews invariably compare it. This is the best-known and best-regarded film of director Brian Yuzna, who has otherwise made mostly sequels to other people’s horror films, such as Bride of the Re-Animator (1990). Warning! Warning! A whole lot of blood, gore, and sex in this, including a scene of group sexual assault against the protagonist. Do not watch if hard-R horror does not appeal to you.

After that is The Hitcher (1986), a well-regarded action-thriller about a guy who picks up a hitchhiker (played by Rutger Hauer) in the middle of the night on a secluded road for some company. Whoops! Big mistake. The hitcher is a complete psychopath who draws the protagonist into a sadistic cat-and-mouse game. This is by far the best-known and best-regarded film of one-hit-wonder director Robert Harmon. Looks cool; let’s watch.

For this Sunday Kino Night, we’re starting with Dreams (1990), an eight-part anthology film by the master himself, Akira Kurosawa, featuring re-creations of dreams he said he actually had. Expect a whole lot of surreal imagery and bizarre non-sequiturs; this is not a linear narrative. Nevertheless, it is considered one of his best films, and is one of the highest-rated Japanese films on Letterboxd.

After that is Only Angels Have Wings (1939), a romance-adventure starring Cary Grant as a wisecracking, sarcastic bush pilot based in South America who also runs a freight service; to make a crucial delivery on time, he has to hire another pilot, who arrives with his ex-girlfriend (played by Rita Hayworth.) Meanwhile, another lady, played by Jean Arthur, starts woogin’ for him. Will romance? Will the delivery be made on time? I guess we’ll find out. This is one of the top-rated films of the 1930s on Letterboxd, and one of the best-regarded works of director Howard Hawks (also known for His Girl Friday [1940], Bringing Up Baby [1938], and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes [1953], among others.) Looks good, let’s watch.

For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more Sailor Moon, and so, we’re continuing on, with episodes 97 through 102 of the 1992 series, the definitive magical-girl anime. This is the completely unabridged, unexpurgated, uncensored, Japanese version of the show, including everything that the English dub butchered, altered, and/or cut, which is quite a bit. Tonight’s episodes see the continuation of the S arc, focusing particularly on Sailors Uranus and Neptune, and the revelation of their true identities. You’ll never guess who they are.

After that is is No Dogs or Italians Allowed (2022), an Italian stop-motion animation about a poor family in the early 20th century who immigrates to France in search of a better life. Hilarity ensues as the family endures hardship, as well as prejudice from the local population. This is, so far, the best-known and best-regarded work of animator Alain Ughetto, who based the narrative on the history of his own family. Excellent reviews for this one, and the aesthetic looks cool, so let’s watch.

For this Friday Movie Night, first up is one of the great Hollywood musicals, and arguably the last of the classic era: Fiddler on the Roof (1971)! Enter the shitty world of 19th-century tsarist Russia as a Jewish peasant arranges the marriages of his three daughters, all the while having to deal with government-sanctioned persecution, up to and including pogroms. The stage version was a sensation in its day, and this film adaptation was up for a bunch of awards, scoring a Best Picture Oscar nomination, among others. Director is Norman Jewison, who also did Jesus Christ Superstar (1973), which we previously watched, as well as In the Heat of the Night (1967) and Moonstruck (1987). Strap in, it’s gonna be a long one; at least it has an intermission.

After that is Czech absurdist comedy Happy End (1967), the simple tale of a man’s execution for murdering his wife. Well, it would be simple, except that the entire movie is shown in reverse, including the dialogue, leading to some brain-melting twists and turns. It pretty much did Tenet (2020) over 50 years beforehand and with tongue placed firmly in cheek. This is the best-known and best-regarded film of director Oldrich Lipsky, and is considered one of the best films of the Czech New Wave. Looks cool; let’s check it out.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:

By popular demand, for this special Thursday edition of Anime Night, we’re watching the last 6 episodes (i.e., 7 through 12) of the highly-acclaimed high-school student-band comedy anime Bocchi the Rock (2022)! I expect that chicks will continue to rock.

For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, we’re reuniting the directors of the two Conan movies with a special double feature. First up is Red Sonja (1985), the unofficial third Conan movie, which follows the quest of Sonja (played by Brigitte Nielsen) to avenge her family by slaying an evil overlord, with the help of a magic talisman. Along the way, Conan substitute Prince Kalidor, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, gives her a hand. One user review says this film “makes Conan the Destroyer look like Citizen Kane”, which is good enough for me. Expect a lot of stabbing and lobbed-off heads etc. Director is Richard Fleischer, who made the aforementioned Conan the Destroyer (1984), as well as Soylent Green (1973) and Fantastic Voyage (1974).

After that is Red Dawn (1984), the legendary Reaganite WW3 wet dream about a full-scale invasion of the US by the Soviet Union. A group of teens form a band of guerrilla fighters to wage war on the occupation. Despite the obvious anti-communist narrative here, some have suggested that the film is easily read as an anti-imperalist, pro-communist film. Director is John Milius, who also did Conan the Barbarian (1982); while he’s pretty chuddy, he has also voiced his respect for the bravery of the Vietcong and other left-wing resistance fighters, which arguably bleeds into the depiction here. I guess we’ll find out.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:

For this Sunday Kino Night, we’re starting with Perfect Days (2023), a slice-of-life from Wim Wenders (Paris Texas [1984], Wings of Desire [1987]) about a Japanese janitor who is passionate about music, books, and cleaning toilets. He meets some people, and more of his past is revealed. Just a warm, gentle, simple narrative. Wenders says he made the film as an homage to the works of Yasujiro Ozu, and yeah, that sounds about right. It was one of the most critically-acclaimed films of 2023, being currently ranked #181 on Letterboxd’s Top 250 films of all time. Looks good; let’s watch.

After that is Pride (2014), a British dramedy set during the miners’ strike of 1984, when a gay-rights group decides to raise some money to support the picketing workers; they struggle to achieve full solidarity with their comrades, who are at first reluctant to embrace them as allies, but eventually learn the errors of their ways. God Damn the UKKK: The Movie. This is by far the best-known and best-regarded film of director Matthew Warchus, who has otherwise only filmed stage plays. Excellent reviews for this one across the board, so we’re watching it.

We’re not watching the regular anime, but rather, a four-part stop-motion Netflix series abot a irl who takes a job at a Pokemon resort, aad her various encounters with the people and Pokemon there. This is pretty much the most gentle, bright, and adorable animation you’ll ever see, and the aesthetic is beautiful, so let’s check it out.

For this Friday Movie Night, since the people demanded more Indian cinema, first up is Anbe Sivam (2003), a buddy comedy about a commercial producer who becomes stranded at an airport and is forced to go on a road-trip with a socialist street performer. Dudes proceed to rock, and discover how cool communism is, with some musical numbers along the way. I saw some chuds give this negative reviews for being commie propaganda, which means it’s probably awesome. This is one of the highest-rated Indian films on Letterboxd, and is the best-known and most highly-regarded film of director Sundar C.

After that is Czech fantasy/fairy-tale The Fabulous Baron Munchausen (1962), the magnum opus of director Karel Zeman; last Christmas, we watched his film The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (1978), which was cool, so let’s check out his best-known work. This is another take on the tall-tale exploits of the 18th-century German aristocrat Munchausen, filled with all sorts of fancy effects and animation as he makes his way around the world, under the sea, and to the moon. We previously watched Terry Gilliam’s version, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988), and many say this one is even better, so let’s give it a whirl.
