Justin and Will take a deep dive into after-hours cinema with a watch of Radley Metzger's Camille 2000 and the GREATEST PORN FILM OF ALL TIME (so they hear). They discuss the genre as a whole, why it hasn't had a cross over hit in decades and promise to share some...
ICC #14 – We Love Jim Carrey
We explain why Jim Carrey was our hero growing up by discussing Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Cable Guy. Will admits to dressing up for a very special screening, Justin thinks one of his films is the funniest thing ever and special guest Emily Milling wishes that...
The Forgotten Splatter of ‘Mosquito’ (1994)
I walk through life sometimes thinking "I have seen every fun splatter comedy that have ever existed. There is nothing left for me to see for I have seen it all" A wise man once said "You're an idiot. There's always something out there waiting to surprise you."...
ICC #12 – Is Elaine May a Great Filmmaker?
We discuss Elaine May's entire directorial oeuvre (a mere four films) and touch on her use of cringe comedy, the on-point brilliance of The Heartbreak Kid and the fact that Ishtar really isn't that funny. Plus, we sing a song. [soundcloud...
Return of the Demon (1987) is Non-Stop!
I'm always suspicious when someone calls a film "a non-stop thrill ride!" because we all know that the motion picture game simply doesn't work that way. Fury Road takes some time to breathe. Hard Boiled has a middle section filled with smooth jazz. Non-Stop is more...
ICC #11- Cool Guy Clint
Justin and Will discuss the directorial work of The Man With No Name by way of his off-center western HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER (1973) and his head-scratching bio-pic WHITE HUNTER, BLACK HEART (1990). They talk his charismatic appeal as an actor, his populist film making...
ICC #10 – Tarantino’s Favorite Woody Allen Film
Will and Justin tackle Woody Allen by discussing his undeniable classic ANNIE HALL (1977) and its terrible kinda-remake ANYTHING ELSE (2003). They discuss the struggle to separate the art from the artist, how Woody has a few interesting things to say (that he says...
ICC #09 – The Kurosawa Cliché
Akira Kurosawa is a monolith and Justin and Will nervously approach his filmography like soldier's marching through a minefield. They watch THRONE OF BLOOD, THE BAD SLEEP WELL and discuss the master's biography, his riff with Toshiro Mifune, and the reason he's the...
ICC #8 – F*ck, Marry, Kill: Harpo, Groucho or Chico
It's time for the Important Cinema team to tackle the most important question of our time: Who was the funniest comedy team of 1933? Will and Justin discuss the topic heatedly as they tackle Marx Brothers masterwork DUCK SOUP and the Wheeler and Woolsey comedy...
‘Dodsworth’ (1936): Relationships never get easy (1936)
I dived blind into Doswroth expecting it to be a Citizen Kane like tale of a buisnessman's fall. Nope. It isn't the 30's relationship drama hat the poster seems to be advertising either. Well, it is a relationship drama, but its the story of the dissolution of a long...
