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 Review # 50: Dusty and Sweets Mcgee - 1776 - Top of the Heap - California Reich - Sorcerer - Phantasm - More American Graffiti

Seven more 70’s movies, we can scratch off our list. Welcome to Reviews number #50. Done over 70 movie showcases, and now 50 episodes of movie reviews equalling over 400 films. Amazing, great work team. 

1. (Dusty and Sweets Mcgee 1971) Here is neat documentary style look at drug addiction as people walk around L.A. looking to score. 

2. (1776 1972) A musical I had not seen, annnnnd I’m a musical learner so I actually learned more from this story written by a history teacher then I did in school. This story and School house rock! Knight riders car and DR. Green’s dad from E.R. are here. 

3. (Top of the Heap 1972) Sadly here is another buried film, thanks Racism. It’s starting to come around and I hope we can help. It’s serious and heavy and it’s written, directed and stars Christopher St. John whom we should have seen much more of. Paula Kelly from many films including The spook who sat by the door is here, and she has a poster of Baphomet! 

4. (California Reich 1974) This Academy award nominated documentary should definitely be seen and is available on YouTube. This and Jesus Camp 2006 should be on a shelf marked, Well we did fucking warn you! 

5. (Sorcerer 1977) Yeah F what the director says this is definitely false advertising. Movie is cool and we get More Roy Scheider and an amazing soundtrack by Tangerine Dream, but there are absolutely no witches wizard or magic at all in this film. 

6. (Phantasm 1979) Great flippin title. Group of hard working ambitious stoners make a movie that is very creative, cray, and not a Women hating slasher film. I’m here for it. 

7. (More American Graffiti 1979) I wanna just say cash grab, but they waited 6 years. I guess you had happy days in 74. Grease was 78 sooooo they probably tackled George to make sequel for some beach houses. George had little to do with this, editing the screenplay and apparently “Supervising.” People like to dismiss, but we found a few things here that we dug, also some real weirdness, which I keep writing about some and then erasing, meaning, if you saw the first one this is worth a watch. Thanks always for listening. Please like and subscribe, why not.
