Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2030901/fan_mail/new]  In this episode, Ryan Luis Rodriguez from Reels of Justice joins the podcast. He brings along the movie Working Girls [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092238/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk]. Marty and Clif give Ryan the movie Psycho [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054215/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk] to watch. First up is Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock's legendary shocker that changed horror movies forever. Clif, Marty, and Ryan discuss Norman Bates, the famous shower scene, and why the film still works even when everyone already knows the ending. Then it's on to Working Girls, Lizzie Borden's low-key but fascinating look at a day in the life of sex workers. The conversation covers the film's resemblance to Sean Baker's slice-of-life approach, its sense of humor, then finally, it's matter-of-fact tone and humanity. Along the way: Norman Bates business management strategies, courtroom podcast updates, arguments over cult classics, and the realization that some movies are a lot stranger than their reputations suggest.

The Primevals and D.C. Cab with Bobby LePire - Talking Pondo

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2030901/fan_mail/new]  In this episode, Clif and Marty welcome special guest Bobby LePire [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13015821/?ref_=fn_t_1] for a double feature that goes from chaotic 1980s comedy to long-lost stop-motion sci-fi. Bobby brings along the movie The Primevals [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9352178/?ref_=fn_t_1]. Marty and Clif give Bobby the movie D.C. Cab [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085387/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_3_nm_5_in_0_q_d.c.%20c] to watch. First up is D.C. Cab, Joel Schumacher's first feature as a director. Clif, Marty, and Bobby try to make sense of a movie that feels like five different comedies stitched together with duct tape, cocaine, and a flamethrower. The conversation covers Mr. T, Gary Busey and how this bizarre train wreck somehow became a cult favorite and commercial success overseas.  Then they head into the mountains with The Primevals, the decades-in-the-making fantasy adventure featuring Yetis, aliens, stop-motion creatures, and enough practical effects to make old-school genre fans very happy. The gang discusses the movie's fascinating production history and whether this passion project was worth the wait.  Along the way, Hamburger University becomes an actual topic of conversation, Poland's apparent love affair with DC Cab gets investigated and the phrase "interesting train wreck" gets repeated for a reason.

How to Murder Your Wife and Save the Tiger with Daniel Roebuck - Talking Lemmon

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2030901/fan_mail/new]  In this episode, Clif and Marty welcome special guest Daniel Roebuck [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0736263/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_2_nm_6_in_0_q_daniel%20roebuck] for “Talking Lemmon,” celebrating the career of the legendary Jack Lemmon. Daniel brings along the movie Save the Tiger [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070640/?ref_=fn_t_1]. Marty and Clif give Daniel the movie How to Murder Your Wife [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058212/?ref_=fn_t_1] to watch. First up is How to Murder Your Wife, a wild 1960s comedy that finds a carefree bachelor waking up married and immediately questioning every decision that led him there. Clif, Marty, and Daniel discuss the film’s energy, attitudes, and why Lemmon could make even the most ridiculous premise work.  Then they move on to Save the Tiger, where a very different Jack Lemmon delivers one of the most powerful performances of his career. As a struggling businessman willing to cross every line to stay afloat, Lemmon anchors a dark portrait of a man trying to survive a rapidly changing world.  Along the way: movie-star versus character-actor debates, lemonade sponsorship opportunities, punk rock movies, mysterious opening title cards, and the discovery that both films somehow begin with Jack Lemmon getting out of bed and heading for the shower. #TalkingPondo #JackLemmon #DanielRoebuck #FilmPodcast #HowToMurderYourWife #SaveTheTiger #ClassicCinema #MovieReview  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2030901/support] Find our films here: The Love Song of William H Shaw [https://tubitv.com/movies/100030483/the-love-song-of-william-h-shaw] Revenge of Zoe [https://tubitv.com/movies/100030481/revenge-of-zoe] Writing Fren-Zee [https://fawesome.tv/movies/10661037/writing-fren-zee] Making Pondo on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087139659233] X (formerly Twitter): @MakingPondo Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/talkingpondo/] Making Pondo on Letterboxd: Season One [https://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo/] Season Two [https://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo-season-2/] Season Three [https://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo-season-3/] Season Four [https://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo-season-4/] Theme Song "The Rain" [https://open.spotify.com/track/5Y9nJrVsVhLmZvIVXc4MfG?si=b6ed0fe053fe4dc6] by Russ Pace Photos by Geoffrey Notkin

Clif and Marty welcome special guest Robb Maynard from the Reels of Justice [https://reelsofjustice.buzzsprout.com/] podcast for a double feature connected by one simple premise: how would you survive when everything goes completely sideways? First is The Quiet Earth, the cult New Zealand sci-fi classic about a man who wakes up to find himself seemingly alone in the world. Clif, Marty and Robb discuss post-apocalyptic loneliness, questionable survival plans, and having the entire planet to yourself. Then it's on to Send Help. Sam Raimi's darkly funny survival thriller starring Rachel McAdams. What starts as a castaway story quickly turns into a battle of wills, shifting power dynamics, and bad choices. The gang debates who's really in control, who's the villain, and whether anyone should be trusted on a deserted island. Along the way: Survivor strategy, Bruce Campbell Easter eggs, post-apocalyptic road trips, murderous boars and an alarming amount of discussion about tuna fish sandwiches.

Suitable Flesh and Green Book - Talking Pondo

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2030901/fan_mail/new]  In this episode, Marty gives Clif the movie Suitable Flesh [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21397580/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk] to watch and Clif gives Marty the movie Green Book [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6966692/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk] to watch.  Clif and Marty pair up two movies that somehow work exceptionally well together. Here comes Green Book and Suitable Flesh.  We start with Suitable Flesh. A wild Lovecraft-inspired body-swap horror throwback featuring Heather Graham and horror legend Barbara Crampton. Clif and Marty talk B-movie charm, gross-out effects and Stuart Gordon vibes. Overthinking this movie might ruin the fun! Next, it's Peter Farrelly’s Oscar-winning road movie Green Book starring Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali, discussing the chemistry between the leads and the film’s mix of comedy and drama. Green Book often feels like “The Odd Couple in a car.”  They also cover listener mail, Jim Jarmusch appreciation and pizza-folding sitcom jokes.  #TalkingPondo #FilmPodcast #GreenBook #SuitableFlesh #MovieReview #HorrorMovies #ClassicCinema #BarbaraCrampton  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2030901/support] Find our films here: The Love Song of William H Shaw [https://tubitv.com/movies/100030483/the-love-song-of-william-h-shaw] Revenge of Zoe [https://tubitv.com/movies/100030481/revenge-of-zoe] Writing Fren-Zee [https://fawesome.tv/movies/10661037/writing-fren-zee] Making Pondo on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087139659233] X (formerly Twitter): @MakingPondo Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/talkingpondo/] Making Pondo on Letterboxd: Season One [https://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo/] Season Two [https://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo-season-2/] Season Three [https://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo-season-3/] Season Four [https://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo-season-4/] Theme Song "The Rain" [https://open.spotify.com/track/5Y9nJrVsVhLmZvIVXc4MfG?si=b6ed0fe053fe4dc6] by Russ Pace Photos by Geoffrey Notkin
