Classic Film Jerks
Determining if all these so called classic films are indeed just that.
Episodes
This month Evan and Jeff travel to Italy to tackle Federico Fellini's magnum opus 8 1/2. Grab your cigarettes and smash your hat, this one is going to be fun and maybe a little controversial.
Evan and Jeff go off the rails early as they discuss the 1944 noir mystery thriller Laura. Is it confusing? Is it a classic? Does Evan grant interviews in the bathtub? Is Jeff really Hungarian? All of these questions will be answered.
Evan's back and this month he and Jeff head to Russia with 1965's Doctor Zhivago. Will this be the classic romance we were promised or will the Jerks get Zhivagoed? Listen to find out.
We watched 1983's A Christmas Story and now we are really concerned that Andrew's son didn't know that Santa Ho Ho Ho's?
We watched 1960's The Time Machine and now we really want to know where the hell that scale model of the time machine went?
We watched 1958's The Blob and and now we are really concerned with the rise in movie ticket prices.
This month the jerkiness is on full display as Evan, Jeff and special guest Michael May, wach 1931's M, starring Classic Film Jerks favorite Peter Lorre. The phrase crotch shot is featured far more than you would expect for a movie about the hunt for a child murder.
This month Evan and Jeff are joined by original Classic Film Jerk Michael DiGiovanni. The guys get traditional with 1971's Fiddler On The Roof. So settle in for an extra long podcast episode about an extra long movie complete with bottle dances, possibly diseased chickens and of course, Motel's sewing machine.
Meet Evan, Jeff and special guest Paxon Holley at the All American Burger as they watch 1982's Fast Times at Ridgemont High, plus a discussion of Hamiltonian versus Jeffersonian visions of society.
This month Evan and Jeff try to figure out why there's no sun up in the sky as they watch 1943's Stormy Weather and a secret love of tap dancing will be revealed.
Break out your carpentry tools and join Jeff and Evan as they watch Martin Scorsese's 1988 film The Last Temptation of Christ. Is it a classic? Listen and find out.
We watched 1948's Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. Drop by to smoke your pipe and find out if two naive New Yorkers can build their dream house in Connecticut.
New Classic Film Jerks hosts Evan and Jeff settle in for a sweaty watch of Spike Lee's 1989 film Do The Right Thing. Grab a slice of pizza and join them as they count how many Aiello's are in this movie.
We ended the podcast and now we are going to talk about it...and quite possibly some other stuff.
We watched 1934's Babes in Toyland (aka March of the Wooden Soldiers) with our pal Jeff Somogyi and now we are all terrified of those pig masks!
We watched 1950's Rashomon and now we are really questioning our eyebrows.
We watched 1933's The Invisible Man and now we really want that woman to stop screaming, like REALLY want her to stop.
We watched 1962's Dr. No and now we think they maybe should have just run away from the Dragon tank.
We watched 1941's Sullivan's Travels with guest Nate Ryan and now we really need to take a ride on the slapstick land yacht!
We watched 1982's Sophie's Choice and now we realized that Stingo really liked Spam didn't he?
