Shane Carruth's New Movie: Upstream Color

Shane Carruth has a new movie coming out in April entitled Upstream Color. It appears to be as idiosyncratic and complex as Primer, and received quite a bit of attention when it debuted at Sundance last month. Check out the trailer:

Trailer: Primer (2004)

This week's movie is Primer (2004), a micro-budget science fiction film about two guys who accidentally invent time travel. (But it's about a lot more than that!)

Starring: Shane Carruth and David Sullivan. Written and directed by Shane Carruth. Watch it on Netflix here.

BTW, this movie is not to be confused with Prime (2005), a romantic comedy mentioned on last week's show that is definitely worth a watch. (However it's not available streaming AFAIK.)

This week: Romantic Comedy (1983) - Playwright Jason Carmichael (Dudley Moore) has a problem: He's in love with his new writing partner Phoebe Craddock (Mary Steenbergen), but instead decides to be a real jerkwad to her over the course of many years.

Zombie Intelligence

This week we are talking about zombie movies because we all watched the Civil War-era zombie flick "Exit Humanity". Look for the new episode soon.

We discuss some of our favorite zombie moments and here is one of my absolute favorites...a scene from "Resident Evil Extinction" (2007) in which the existence of the zombie ability to logic and reason is discussed and subsequently (and quite violently) refuted.

The movie is pretty much terrible, but this scene is gold. I can't even fully articulate why I like it so much. But the idea that a zombie could maybe place a cell phone call but get hung up on a shape sorter is fucking ridiculous.

Maybe if the scientists had put him in time out, they wouldn't have been eaten to death.

Trailer: Exit Humanity (2011)

Starring: Mark Gibson, Adam Seybold, and the voice of Brian Cox. Directed by John Geddes.

Don't Start a Beef with Lee Van Cleef

Next week we are going to discuss the Chuck Norris classic from 1980, "The Octagon". I haven't seen this movie since the early days of cable, when it was in heavy rotation on HBO.



I was just looking at the IMDb entry for the film and noticed that it features Lee Van Cleef. Now I'm super excited to watch it. I don't know much about Lee Van Cleef, but he's the antagonist in one of my favorite western scenes of all time, dueling with Clint Eastwood in "For a Few Dollars More".
