Friday Film Showcased

Friday Film Showcased

By Conor Hogan and Ciara Moloney

For many years, with regard to their film-watching, Ciara and Conor have been theming their months. For instance:

*Elaine May May (sic) - films starring, written by, or directed by Elaine May.
*Darling works (?) of May - William Shakespeare Films.
*Cartoon June - you know, animated.
*Soviet (J)Un(e)(ion) - Films from countries that were once in the USSR.

Sometimes the titles of these months are puns, sometimes alliterative. Sometimes, it is awful strained altogether (see above). But it has always been fun. Or at least I hope so. They've been doing it long enough!

No Way Out (1987) - The Big Clock/No Way Out Special Part 2

No Way Out (1987) - The Big Clock/No Way Out Special Part 2

Friday Film Showcased (FFS) returns with the second and final part of our two-part special on adaptations of Kenneth Fearing's novel The Big Clock, ostensibly in tribute to the late Gene Hackman. That is borne out in this episode, as Ciara Moloney and Conor Hogan discuss a film Gene Hackman is actually in: No Way Out (1987), in which he stars opposite Kevin Costner.

Ciara and Conor discuss topics including: bad alternate titles, Mel Gibson and Roger Donaldson re-enacting Who's On First, remakes vs readaptations, limo-based coitus, inaccurate IMDb trivia, Cold War paranoia, Will Patton's Smithers energy, magic computers, Iran-Contra, bad music, great twists, and whether Kevin Costner could play baseball in the Old West.

Showcased Selections: American Giallo – Dressed to Kill (1980)

From the archives, a bite-sized edition looking at Brian De Palma's American giallo Dressed to Kill. Or is it a giallo? Yes. Is it transphobic? Probably. Is it a great film? Definitely. What's Brian De Palma's deal? I guess we'll never know.

Whether you're a FFS connoisseur revisiting the hits, or a new listener who finds our full episodes too daunting, this one's for you. Put on your best clothes... to kill?

Starring Michael Caine! Angie Dickinson! Nancy Allen! Keith Gordon from Christine! Dennis Franz, who's not mentioned in this episode but is great! Sorry, Dennis, we love you!

What have WE done to Solange?

Originally released in two parts, this special omnibus edition of Friday Film Showcased (FFS) collects Ciara Moloney and Conor Hogan's discussion about their giallo season into one big bite.

Films discussed: Deep Red, Stagefright Aquarius, Bay of Blood, Blood and Black Lace, The Bird With the Crystal Plumage, Dressed to Kill, Pieces, Lizard in a Woman's Skin, What Have You Done to Solange? and Don't Torture a Duckling.

More topics: the various tropes of the giallo genre, Dario Argento, Mario Bava, and most importantly Lucio Fulci, the entangled history of the noir, the ‎krimi, and the giallo, and red phones.

The Big Clock (1948) - The Big Clock/No Way Out Special Part 1

The Big Clock (1948) - The Big Clock/No Way Out Special Part 1

Friday Film Showcased (FFS) returns with part one of a two part special on adaptations of Kenneth Fearing's novel The Big Clock. We are doing this as a tribute to the late Gene Hackman, who is not in the movie discussed in this episode, but was alive when it came out. But was he a child? Listen and find out!

Ciara Moloney and Conor Hogan discuss topics including: Ray Milland (man), ray-millanding (verb), The Powerhouse Charles Laughton, queer coding and the Hays Code, clocks of various sizes and mechanisms, comedic genius Elsa Lancaster of Bride of Frankenstein fame, Maureen O'Sullivan who surely is only in this as a favour to her husband John Farrow (father of Tia, Mia, and this film, if directing is fatherhood), how much can you actually fit behind a bar, President McKinley, and the existential quest to find one's self. Literally!

Season 2 Preview: We've Only Just Begun... (To Live)

Following a hiatus, we at Spotify* are delighted to welcome Ciara and Conor back for season 2 of Friday Film Showcased. In this excellent episode, they set out their plans for the upcoming season.

Is this the first episode of the season they discuss? Is this the trailer/preview for said season? Though shorter than usual, we at Spotify* lean towards the former. Highly recommended. Five Stars.

Episode 5: Giallo – Don't Torture a Duckling (1972)

NOTE: We received a message from Spotify for Creators stating that it had identified copyrighted third-party content in our podcast. This is incorrect.

The theme music for our podcast is Antonin Vivaldi Violin Concerto in G Minor, RV315 ‘Summer’. The particular recording used was downloaded from Musopen.com, a non-profit which produces and disseminates public domain music via recordings, sheet music and educational resources concerning Western classical music. The licence for using this specific download was identified on Musopen.com as Public Domain Mark 1.0 Universal.

That this is the only recording we have used, yet has been flagged as six separate recordings within the nine published versions of the podcast, with both Universal Music and Euphoria Ltd set as rights holders. This should demonstrate the difficulty with regard to copyright enforcement for performances of classical music, and differentiating between public domain recordings and copyrighted recordings.

This podcast has no ads, or any paid subscription or other mechanism for making any money whatsoever, a fact we hope will allow the descendants of Antonin Vivaldi to rest soundly in their beds.

The particular recording used was downloaded from Musopen.com, a non-profit which produces and disseminates public domain music via recordings, sheet music and educational resources concerning Western classical music. The licence for using this specific download was identified on Musopen.com as Public Domain Mark 1.0 Universal.

That this is the only recording we have used, yet has been flagged as six separate recordings within the nine published versions of the podcast, with both Universal Music and Euphoria Ltd set as rights holders. This should demonstrate the difficulty with regard to copyright enforcement for performances of classical music, and differentiating between public domain recordings and copyrighted recordings.

This podcast has no ads, or any paid subscription or other mechanism for making any money whatsoever, a fact we hope will allow the descendants of Antonin Vivaldi to rest soundly in their beds.
