The Video Age: Episode 015 Phantom of the Paradise

This week we've got the only musical directed Brian De Palma with music by Paul Williams, it's Phantom of the Paradise. This is our second entry in our Mayusical series and it's a great flick, De Palma is the great American Giallo director. The musical is a send up of Faust and Dorian Gray and features great performances from a stellar cast, with music composed by Paul Williams before any "Rainbow Connections" ever happened.   Join Our Patreon: www.thevideoage.com [http://www.thevideoage.com]

The Video Age: Episode 014 The Music Man (1962)

This week we're kicking off our Mayusicals themed month with The Music Man, 1962, with Robert Preston. This movie is about a fast talking con-man who is selling bands, to mid-western rural towns, and it's a musical. How could it be bad? It couldn't, because it's great. Watch it, or don't just listen to the episode. This is one of my favorites so join the fun.   Join our Patreon: www.thevideoage.com [http://www.thevideoage.com]

The Video Age: Episode 012 Dune(1984)

This week the sleeper must awaken, this is the fourth episode in our April Showers Give Me Dreams For Hours series. The movie we have is Dune, 1984, directed by David Lynch and we have a guest to talk about it with, my brother Josh. We unfortunately lost David Lynch this year, and covering his lowest rated movie of all time might seem disrespectful, but I assure you it isn't. This is not one of his best films, but it is the first one I saw. I find it beautiful for it's efforts to capture one of my favorite sweeping sci-fi epics in an ambitious constricted two hour format. The artist's vision being corrupted and compressed by the studio until it ultimately ends up falling short of what he wanted and what anyone really wanted. This film nearly broke him, but through this crucible he was able to bring us things like Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, and eventually Twin Peaks: The Return. Enjoy this movie, and do not fear not liking it because... I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.   Get early access to upcoming episodes and extra episodes by joining our Patreon: www.thevideoage.com [http://www.thevideoage.com]
