Transit_small German director Christian Petzold’s “Phoenix” was a “Vertigo”-inspired thriller set in the aftermath of the Holocaust. It received some of the best reviews of 2014. For his latest, "Transit," Petzold evokes Kafka, Orwell and Kieslowski for another wartime thriller that isn't afraid to disorient and perplex. Then, in the third round of Filmspotting Madness -- Best of the 2000s -- the effect is less disorienting and more enraging, with listeners threatening to leap into the Madness Incinerator (tm) with beloved films that have been forced to exit the tournament. And the third film in the John Cassavetes Marathon -- 1976's (and 1978's) "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie."

Sounds Familiar #5: Sex, Death and Morals in Horror.

From Blake Cooper | Part of the Sounds Familiar series | 17:00

In 1980, during a “very special episode” of Siskel & Ebert, Roger Ebert made a provocative claim about the emerging genre of “slasher” horror films: “these films hate women.” Whether that’s true—and why—is a little more complicated.

In 1980, during a “very special episode” of Siskel & Ebert, Roger Ebert made a provocative claim about the emerging genre of “slasher” horror films: “these films hate women.” 
Whether that’s true—and why—is a little more complicated. Dr. Lisa Wade, founder of the blog Sociological Images, helps me break down the complexity of the role of women in horror movies. We’ll discuss what these films say about our sense of morality and justice. And we’ll travel all the way back to 18th century London, to meet Tom Nero, arguably the horror genre’s original serial villain.

2019 Razzie Awards -- John Wilson Interview
From
Andrea Chase

Razzieaward_small

There are many reasons that I look forward to my annual interview with Razzie Founder and Head Berry, John Wilson. Not the least of them is that he makes me laugh. A lot. As we review the nominees, including Donald Trump (full list here), recognizing the worst of the worst in cinema, where they each went wrong is the main topic, but while Wilson is quick with a witty barb, he’s also thoughtful as he ponders the state of cinema, both good and bad.

This year, I asked him to stroll down memory lane to the first Razzie Ceremony, which he held in his living room to an appreciative crowd of friends. The world at large appreciated the press release he sent out, and now, in anticipation of the 39th annual awards announcement, it’s become an institution, with voting members of the Golden Raspberry Awards Foundation hailing from all over the world.

He also discussed why holidays are even more awkward than they might otherwise have been because of Wilson’s zeal for bad cinema; Melissa McCarthy being nominated for both a Razzie and an Oscar™; why Helen Mirren couldn’t save WINCHESTER; what it says about a year’s bad films that FIFTY SHADES FREED didn’t sweep every category; the reasons why returning Razzie favorite John Travolta essayed the role of GOTTI; and what Razzie Redemption is all about.  

We started, though, with Wilson’s reactions to this year’s Razzie nominees.

For the official Razzle announcement of the winners as released on February 23, 2019, the day >before< the Little Gold Naked Man is handed outout, click https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2tIZPEXuY7g&t=315s.
