    Sabrina (1954/1995) - A Copy of A Copy Ep. 202

    The month of love continues here at Car RayRob! For our brand-new episode of A COPY OF A COPY, Ray and Rob have decided to examine one the greatest romantic comedies of all time by watching Bill Wilder's indelible classic SABRINA, as well as the Sydney Pollock's 1995 remake! Both films center on Sabrina Fairchild (Played in the original by the legendary Audrey Hepburn), the daughter of a chauffeur for the Larrabee family, a wealthy industrialist magnate. Sabrina grows up with her eyes set on David, the shiftless playboy of the family who barely knows she exists, portrayed in Wilder's original by William Holden (STALAG 17, THE WILD BUNCH) and Greg Kinnear in Pollock's remake. When Sabrina leaves to spend time in Paris, she believes she is growing beyond David's spell. However, when David finds himself engaged for the benefit of the family's business, she once again is pulled into his orbit as her worldly transformation finally garners his affections. To head off his infatuation with Sabrina, the duty falls on his brother Linus, played by Humphrey Bogart in the original and Harrison Ford in the remake, to protect the family's interests and break up the shenanigans. The original holds a very special place in Rob's heart and with Ray's newfound love of both Billy Wilder and Humphrey Bogart, the remake has a tough road ahead. Tune in as Ray and Rob breakdown these two romantic comedy gems!  THEME SONG: Music and Lyrics: Jeremy Catarelli, Kevin Magamoll and Rob Morgan INTERMISSION: Music: Jey You Voice: Rob Morgan

    Valley Girl (1983) - Say Hello To My Little Film Ep. 303

    It's once again the season of love here at Car RayRob! As usual, Rob is ready for the occasion. To ring in the season, he has decided to bring an heirloom film, one passed down from his big sister to him and now he is passing it along to brother from another mother, Ray! The 1983 Martha Coolidge directed teen comedy, VALLEY GIRL!  This gem of 80's nostalgia is loosely based on the Shakespeare classic ROMEO AND JULIET and stars the bearer of the unbearable weight of massive talent, Nicolas Cage! He stars alongside Deborah Foreman (REAL GENIUS, WAXWORK) as Randy and Julie, two star crossed lovers from different cliques who decide to upend the apple cart of social hierarchy and begin a relationship, much the chagrin of her friends. All things seem heavenly until the peer pressure begins to build and Julie has to decide what's more important, Randy or their social differences?  A movie that may be disregarded in the slew of imitations that followed, VALLEY GIRL not only helped solidify the conventions of the teen comedy but also helped launch a lexicon! I think it's fair to say we would not have classics like CLUELESS without VALLEY GIRL! So, grab your special someone, pop your popcorn, cuddle in close and bask in the glory of this romantic classic! Like, for sure!  Will the chemistry between these two leads help overcome the trappings of the classic it's based on for Ray? Or will movies that came in its shadow overcome its charms leaving him wanting more? Tune in to find out!   THEME SONG: Music and Lyrics: Jeremy Catarelli INTERMISSION: Music: Jay You Voice: Jeremy Catarelli

    Fail Safe - Say Hello To My Little FIlm Ep. 302

    It's Ray's turn to kick things off on Car RayRob's brand-new season of SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM! While Rob went big with an action spectacle, Ray is going in a different direction by recommending the 1964 Sidney Lumet (DOG DAY AFTERNOON, NETWORK) classic FAIL SAFE! This entry in the cannon of Cold War thrillers centers on a group of American politicians, bureaucrats and enlisted men who court disaster when a series of unfortunate mishaps during a military exercise sends a lone squadron of nuclear bombers fly to Russia with orders to bomb Moscow. With an all-star cast including Walter Matthau (THE ODD COUPLE, CHARLEY VERRICK), Henry Fonda (YOUNG MR LINCOLN, THE GRAPES OF WRATH) and Larry Hagman (I DREAM OF JEANIE, DALLAS), FAIL SAFE seeks to challenge the viewer with the face of our own militaristic, self-destructive nature and was an early prophet against our reliance on machines in warfare. FAIL SAFE opened to a poor box office reception, mainly due to the similar subject matter and release proximity to one of the greatest political dark comedies of all time, DR STRANGELOVE. Despite these challenges, FAIL SAFE has found a solid place in film history and Ray's heart! Will the similarities between FAIL SAFE and DR STRANGELOVE prove too much for Rob to enjoy it? Or will this taut thriller stand on its own two feet and differentiate itself? Tune in this week to find out!  THEME SONG: Music and Lyrics: Jeremy Catarelli INTERMISSION: Music: Jay You Voice: Jeremy Catarelli
