  • FILM HISTORY

A guy and his 17 year old daughter discuss the films and people of Old Hollywood. Ok, maybe that oversimplifies it a bit. Derek is an educator with a degree in Film Studies, and Sam is an aspiring actress with close to 50 stage credits and an indy film under her belt. They've been watching movies together for a long time, and their shared interest in film history (Sam's been called an "old soul" by many people. and Derek's just old) drives this podcast.

    ILOM 59 - The Dirty Dozen

    Down to the road block, we've just begun. The guards are through. The Major's men are on a spree. Major and Wladislaw go through the door. Pinkley stays out in the drive. The Major gives the rope a fix. Wladislaw throws the hook to heaven. Jiminez has got a date. The other guys go up the line. Sawyer and Gilpin are in the pen. Posey guards Points Five and Seven. Wladislaw and the Major go down to delve. Franko goes up without being seen. Zero Hour: Jiminez cuts the cable; Franko cuts the phone. Franko goes in where the others have been. We all come out like it's Halloween. Oh yeah, we're doing THE DIRTY DOZEN!!!! ===== Check us out on the socials!

    ILOM 58 - The Great Escape

    It's November, and that's when we like to take a look at war films. This time around, we look at one of (if not the) greatest prisoner of war film ever, The Great Escape. This is a film that holds a special place in Sam's heart, and is the sort of film we could talk about for hours. Both as a film, and an historical event, this tale is truly one for the ages!

    ILOM 57 - Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein

    So, have you ever thought about which film was THE one, that made you a fan? Sam and Derek sure have, and for Sam...this just might be the culprit! Part comedy, part horror, this greatest of the "Monster Rally" films set the standard for merging the two genres that we now know go together so well! Have a listen and let us know what you thing about this incredible film! ===== Check us out on the socials!

    ILOM 56 - Nosferatu

    Obviously, words like "...the most important film in the history of horror cinema" get thrown around all willy-nilly these days...but I ask you, if this film doesn't qualify for such praise, which one possibly could? We take an affectionate look at one of Sam's favourite films, and Derek's favourite vampire film, as we embrace spooky season with a watch of Nosferatu (1922). Have a listen and let us know what you think! Also, it's Sam's birthday! Give her a shout out for her 18th!

    ILOM 55 - The Alamo (1960)

    Ok, so maybe we still have a bit more Davy Crockett to cover. And when that means we get to take a look at a John Wayne film, specifically an historical EPIC, directed by The Duke....well, how can we resist? John Wayne is one of Sam's favourites, so you know she's bringing her A-Level enthusiasm for this one! But is this film the masterpiece that John Wayne intended? Or is it a failed film from a woefully inexperienced director whose reach exceeded his grasp? Have a listen and hear what we thought! --- And, as always, check out our pals at petrockradio.ca!

  7. ILOM 54 - Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier

    ILOM 54 - Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier

    When three hugely popular episodes of Walt Disney's Disneyland TV show were spliced together to create a film for cinematic release, one wonders if anyone thought this would be too much Davy Crockett. Well, as it turns out, in 1955, there was no such thing as Davy Crockett! A mythical character, brought perfectly to life by Fess Parker, Davy was the quintessential post-war, pre-Elvis hero! But how does this film hold up today? And more importantly, do we recommend a watch on this one? Have a listen and hear what we thought! --- Check us (and more) out at www.petrockradio.ca!

  8. ILOM 53 - Buck Privates (1941)

    ILOM 53 - Buck Privates (1941)

    Happy September everyone! We welcome the school year back with a new episode, this time looking at something fun! Buck Privates was only the second film Abbott and Costello appeared in, but it was their first true "starring" vehicle for the duo. This movie brings the laughs as well as some incredible music numbers by The Andrews Sisters! This film is a comedy classic...but is its reputation earned? Or is it's reputation better than the on screen results? Have a listen and hear what we thought!
