Separated by a decade of age yet consumed by similar cases of cinephilia and a reverence for underground cinema, co-hosts Dino Proserpio and Mike Kenny bring their appetite for the forgotten, under appreciated and overlooked entries of the silver screen and video stores to the I EAT MOVIES PODCAST.
I Eat Movies #38: Quincy Control - The Split (1968) / The Anderson Tapes (1971)
Closing out 2024, cohosts Mike and Dino honor one of the greats in I Eat Movies #38: Quincy Control - The Split (1968) / The Anderson Tapes (1971)! Spotlighting the limitless talent of the late Quincy Jones as well as the iconic roster of artists guided by his producing prowess, the fellas examine two dynamite cinematic helpings elevated by his music. First up, Jim Brown stars as the man with a plan to lead a team of thieves in a heist to snatch millions from the Los Angeles Coliseum. Highlighting the exceptional supporting cast and misguided reception from critics and its own producers, our discussion on this highly stylish effort also ropes in John Boorman's Point Blank and Peter Yates' Bullitt for good measure! Next up, Sean Connery sheds his 007 persona as a recently released prisoner looking for a big pay day by targeting a ritzy Fifth Avenue apartment complex in The Anderson Tapes. Helmed by New York fixture Sidney Lumet, this clever and ahead of the curve examination of surveillance is loaded with more good nature than the rest of the cynical 70s would have you believe. Lawrence Sanders' original novel of which the film is based on as well as Quincy's space-age jazz score are covered at length in this celebration of the maestro's more overlooked works!

I Eat Movies #37: Frank Santopadre Selects! - The Accidental Tourist (1988) / Men Don't Leave (1990)
Graciously joined by Emmy winning writer and co-host of Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast, Frank Santopadre, cohosts Dino & Mike tackle two Baltimore-based tales of redemption and hope in I Eat Movies #37: FRANK SANTOPADRE SELECTS! - The Accidental Tourist (1988) / Men Don't Leave (1990). First up, Lawrence Kasdan adapts Anne Tyler's best-seller The Accidental Tourist (1988) where William Hurt (Body Heat), struck by tragedy and living an isolated existence, glimpses a chance at a new beginning with the most unexpected of people. Co-starring Geena Davis (Beetlejuice) in the role that earned her an Oscar, the ensemble cast and tonal shifts from melancholy to quirky humor made this a critical hit deserving of more eyes on it. Next up, director Paul Brickman's long awaited (and only!) follow-up to Risky Business, Men Don't Leave (1990) serves as a complimentary drama with a stellar lead performance from Jessica Lange that came and went with little fanfare... until now. Also, Frank has prescriptions older than Mike, contrasting critical notices on Kasdan's drama from Ebert, Maslin & Kael, cinematic “big swings”, and the state of dramatic adult fare in the movies of today are all discussed in this latest helping of I Eat Movies!

I Eat Movies #36: Casinista! - Casino Royale (1967)
The heat is on as cohosts Dino and Mike embark on a mission concerning many Bond’s in I Eat Movies #36: Casinista! - Casino Royale (1967). Despite being a massive hit at the time, this wildly indulgent romp of a parody with a psychedelic flair has had its fair share of detractors. Charmed with lavish production design, a hefty cast and a most groovy score that rivals any true 007 adventure, Dino and Mike examine the wild tales behind the spy spoof’s making, its multiple directors as well as setting the record straight on some of its outrightly unfair critical assessments. Despite our doctor’s strict orders to not have bullets enter our bodies at any time, don’t shoot the messenger as I Eat Movies #36: - Casino Royale (1967) takes aim at reassessing this smarter than some might recall satire.
