Pure Cinema Podcast

For this special bonus episode, we are posting something we did as a Hangout/Bonus for our Patreon feed where we talked about our Alternate Oscar picks in the tradition of the great book by our hero Danny Peary. We got through almost all the nominated categories and our only rule was we couldn't pick something that had been actually nominated in that category. Lots of room for us to praise/talk about some of our favorites from last year that didnt get as much recognition.

For this episode of the podcast, Elric & Brian & Phil are joined by film historian/film writer/former Movie Geek Marc Edward Heuck to talk about a very special New Beverly Calendar. February at the New Beverly sees Quentin Tarantino programming the month to emulate the kinds of films that would have been shown during the theater's previous heyday as The Eros Theater (i.e. "What's happening at the dirty movie place?" referenced in ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD). As such the month's films are sex related - from arthouse to grindhouse to hardcore - a wide swath of adult titles will be represented. Listen as the gents dig in and talk about the movies - giving some context to who made them, where they came from and the cultural climate in which they were produced.
