  • Uninformative

    KLUTE is my first ep. Excep for the neat comment on Klute gradually bringing light all you did is recount the story. Saying whether you liked it or not is boring--you're not Sarris or Kael so why should we care? A young person watching the movie will easily understand the use of answering machines--an extended riff is totally unnecessary. Much better would be a history of the development of the film in terms of script actor director choices; critical response then and in fullness of time; and a... more

  • Great stuff!!!

    The sixties brought about great change in music and culture. All of that flowed into the 70's affecting the other great art form;story telling in the form of motion pictures.

    The films of the 70's brought more realism and authenticity, more relatable emotional depth. Substance was created that left you leaving the theater thinking more about the people you saw and how it might relate to you.

    All this brought forward through the imagination of young, unknown firebrands, actors and directors tha... more

  • Just Great

    I love ‘70s films. Maybe we can hear their take on more Clint Eastwood films. “Play Misty For Me” and the other two ‘70s “Dirty Harry” pictures.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Deliverance (1972) - John Boorman - Cinematic Flashback
Q: So the screenwriter was James Dickey. How much influence did John Boorman have in this, and can you elaborate on the on-set conflict you teased earlier?
Dickey adapted his own novel into the screenplay, but Boorman became a transformative voice on set, rewriting scenes and guiding the film's poetic language. This led to tensions, culminating in an on-set confrontation where Dickey physically clashed with Boorman; despite this, they remained friends, and Boorman later described preferring a fistfight with Dickey to many other conversations—an anecdote that underscores their intense collaboration and mutual devotion to the film's vision.
Deliverance (1972) - John Boorman - Cinematic Flashback
Q: Jay, welcome to the Cinematic Flashback. Can you tell us about your relationship to Deliverance's author James Dickey and what the story means to you?
Jim Dickey was my professor at the University of South Carolina; he was primarily a poet and a fierce literary mind. Deliverance, written with poetic imagery, struck me as a powerful examination of civilization versus nature and the ways in which ordinary men confront extreme circumstances. Dickey's perspective and the book's sensibilities deeply informed my reading of the film and its thematic spine.
Super Fly (1972) - Gordon Parks Jr - Cinematic Flashback Podcast
Q: Okay Erin, what is this film about?
Erin explains that the film goes beyond a simple drug-dealing story to explore the harsh realities of Harlem in the 70s, focusing on Priest's attempt to leave the drug trade while considering the larger social and economic forces surrounding him.
The Omen (1976) Richard Donner
Q: How do you view Gregory Peck's casting in this horror context, and what did it add to the film's credibility?
The discussion suggests Peck's star power validated the project for a wider audience and framed the film as a serious motion picture, though some hosts question the age dynamic and believability of the relationship, ultimately recognizing Peck's contribution to the film's prestige.
The Omen (1976) Richard Donner
Q: Jeff, when did you first see The Omen and what was your initial impression?
Jeff recalls not being a horror fan initially, but acknowledging the film's strong cast, memorable sequences, and the way the score and production design elevate the suspense, making it feel more as a cinematic achievement than a routine fright flick.
