We watch 70's movies and do two things: 1: We give commentary along with the movie that may or may not correspond with whats going on (we're the people that talk through the whole f***ing movie) 2: We give a short review of the film and give our observations, some context, and how it lines up with other films of the era. We really enjoy 70's cinema and want to expose you to it as well:-)

Movie Reveiw # 53 - The Go Between - The Final Comedown - The Day of the Jackel - Black Belt Jones - Shelia Levine is Dead and Living in New York - Hot Potato - Roseland

We got movie reviews number #53 today. Let’s do a little roll call, hmm.

1.(The go between 1971) Julie Christie and Alan Bates star in this British film, shocker. There’s a whole darn movie full of plot but it really kind of is about just what the title sez, Boring!

2.(The Final Comedown 1972) Long time hard ta get Lando film is here and it delivers the goods. Studio and distribution versus revolutionaries fighting fascist racist u.s. imperialism. There are issues here of course, and Lando and his Mom are all caught up in it. It gets the white radicals right, ha.

3.(The Day of the Jackal 1973) Omg it’s been a long time from seeing this film til today. It’s highly rated on IMDB but I remember nothing except that an assassin guy has a hard time.

4.(Black Belt Jones 1974) Hong Kong Fooey, the kid that calls Charlton Heston “Hostile” in Omega Man and the Guy who beats up racist cops and then drives to the airport in their squad car star in this film about a community out to save a rad Karate school, flawless victory.

5.(Shelia Levine is dead and living in New York 1975) Just Wow, more exposure for this movie definitely. Nazi hunter Jeannie Berlin from Hunters brings Gail Parents book to life. Find and watch this movie, then listen to us gab about it in yer headphones hmmm?

6.(Hot Potato 1976) Here is the extremely loose sequel to black belt Jones. It kinda reminded me of when the Beatles were talking about the movie help, which was filmed on location so they could chill and smoke weed in the Bahamas. It feels like the studio gave the people some dough and tickets to film in Thailand and they partied and forgot to write a script etc until the deadline.

7.(Roseland 1977) So many, if not most films that came out in 1977 after May 25 were overshadowed by Star Wars and left behind. I had never seen this Christopher Walken gem before, it’s quite a cinematic treat. Directed by James Ivory. That’s the news fam, thanks as always for listening.
