Manage episode 437890134 series 3597335
What do you call a really good film that’s not Criterion yet?
On the inaugural episode of SPINELESS, your fearless hosts Nick and Brennan venture into the sweaty, sweaty jungle to discuss William Friedkin’s 1977 film SORCERER! Pack up your dynamite and drive reeeeaaalllll slow as we discuss the career of the late Mr. Friedkin, the troubled production and release of the film, and, of course, Sorcerer Mickey. Would this film have been a success if it didn’t release in the wake of Star Wars? Is the Sorcerer truck the prototype for Furiosa’s War Rig? What time is it in Paris? The world may never know .
The Criterion Collection is an ever-growing roster of movies deemed internationally significant on an artistic level. Each new film added to the collection is given a Spine Number, making any film NOT in the collection: SPINELESS. Join Nick and Brennan (your very-favorite SPINELESS BOYS) as they cover the classic and contemporary films they feel are most deserving of the Criterion treatment.
