THIS WEEK'S NOTES:

I want to apologize in advance if I got things a bit mixed up from time to time. I'm a HUGE fan of Doctor Who, but it's damn near impossible to remember all the facts and squeeze them into a two hour show (well, slightly more than 2 hours).

And I did something i've done from the beginning - confused the Sylvester McCoy episode "Battleground" with the final Doctor Who show of the original run, "Survival". Please know when i'm talking about "Battleground" I really mean "Survival" - i've always transposed the two titles, and i've never quite figured out why...

Subject:CINEMA #122 - "Hero Heat II: Me Tarzan, You Audience!"

As Hero Heat II rolls forward, Kim and TC take a look at the Lord Of The Apes!

Complete looks at the various Tarzan movies, Tarzan on TV, on stage, and several Tarzan tributes and parodies!  Plus this weeks' Cinema Subjects, Attack Of The B Movies coverage, your Bonehead Of The Week, a wrap up of the 2008 Summer X Games as well as our thoughts on the opening ceremonies at the Beijing Olympics, and listener E-mail!

THIS WEEKS' NOTES

As always during Hero Heat, we get a bit longwinded, so the show is about 20 minutes over it's normal time to make sure we can accomodate everything - hope you won't mind too much...heh heh heh...

You will begin to notice some changes to the show as we start mucking around with the format slightly. We have eliminated The Callback segment, since everything we usually mention in that part of the show is already promoted through the small bumpers and adverts. We felt we could use the time more wisely to showcase other things, such as our new "Cinema Subjects" news update segment and such. If there are goings on you need to know about, we'll let you know in the various segments!

Some minor tweaking to the website will be happening over the next couple of days...keep a look out for the revamped ListZone area, and a new and expanded links page. And don't forget to check out the new Theater Chain Directory that went online last week! More great handy things are in the works, so keep coming back and checking things out!

I was STILL unable to get the two audio reviews into the show this week - so next week, FOR SURE they will be there, and I apologize to both Stacy and Rob for taking so long with them...

Next Week, we'll head "south of the border" (kind of) as we take a look at "Zorro With A Z"!  See you then!

It's BAAAAACCCCKKKKKKK! National Amusements' 2008 "Attack of The B Movies" series launches Thursday

National Amusements will launch the 2008 edition of "Attack Of the B Movies" this Thursday night, August 7th.

We attended most of both series last year, and had a BLAST! We were joined on several occasions by listeners of Subject:CINEMA, and we hope if you're in the Revere MA area, that you'll drop by. We aren't planning to get to all of them this year, because some of them we've seen and just CAN'T TAKE AGAIN, heh heh heh...but we WILL be covering them here, and on Subject:CINEMA.

This year's schedule looks like this (movies in Bold Italics are new to the series this year):

8/7 – The Giant Gila Monster / The Killer Shrews
8/14 – Gorgo / Teenagers from Outer Space
8/21 - The Brain That Wouldn’t Die / First Spaceship on Venus
8/28 – Devil Girl from Mars / Robot Monster
9/4 – Giant from the Unknown / She Demons
9/11 - The Wasp Woman / Phantom from 10,000 Leagues
9/18 – Monster from a Prehistoric Planet / Voyage to a Prehistoric Planet
9/25 - The Last Man on Earth / Bride of the Beast
10/2 – A Bucket of Blood / Attack of the Giant Leeches
10/9 – House on Haunted Hill / Amazing Transparent Man                        
10/16 - Last Woman on Earth / Bloodlust
10/23 – Screaming Skull / Tormented
10/30 – Werewolf in a Girls Dormitory / The Bat
10/31 – Nightmare Castle, Dementia 13, House by the Cemetery,
and Night of the Living Dead

As last year, you get 2 classic B Movies for a mere $5 per person, price for the Halloween Quadruple Bypass show is slightly higher, I believe.

The series will be running at selected National Amusements theaters in 10 states: Connecticut, Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Virginia. To find out if your local theater is participating, click HERE.

For complete information on the series, visit their website at http://attackofthebmovies.com, or their main website info at National Amusements.

We hope to see some of you in Revere every Thursday night! And listen for coverage of the series every week on Subject:CINEMA!

Subject:CINEMA #118 - "Into The Sunn....Classic Pictures!"

TC and Kim take on the schlocky, take-themselves-too-seriously films of the studio which brought you "The Life And Times Of Grizzly Adams" and "Hangar 18" and more!

Plus, this week's HUGE E-mail segment, the latest news on the Callback, a great Bonehead Of the Week, coverage of the opener in 2008's edition of the AST Dew Action Sports Tour, and a look at this year's AFI list, the Ten Top Ten!

Next Week - it's the list that a ton of movie fandom sites around the world have been keeping an eye on, because our track record has been pretty damn good, and we're out to do it again...it's the third annual edition of "To Rise And Fall In L.A.", as PNR names it's Top 20 Rising Stars for 2008!  DON'TCHA DARE MISS IT!!!

OTHER NOTES:

I searched and searched but could not find clips of the 70s TV commercials for the games mentioned in segment three, "The Sinking Of The Titanic" and "The Bermuda Triangle". However, I DID find links to information on both games, courtesy of BoardGameGeek and the excellent site over there!

The Bermuda Triangle
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/2296

The Sinking Of The Titanic
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/2249

I was mostly correct in thinking they were both Milton-Bradley games. MB distributed "Titanic" after Ideal was bought out by MB in the late 70s. Neither game is still on the market (duh!) and they fetch average prices on EBay - "Bermuda Triangle" runs anywhere from $15-$30 depending on the condition, while "Sinking Of The Titanic" nets considerably more, running $25 to $100 depending on the seller. Wow!

If anyone can find clips of the commericals from these games, let me know, and i'll post them later!

Next week, as I said above, it's the third annual "To Rise And Fall In L.A." Rising Stars list, all new for 2008! DONT'CHA DARE MISS IT!

Subject:CINEMA #115 - "S:C's Second Anniversary - The Top 20 Best/Worst Films!"

On our second anniversary, TC and Kim each countdown their top 20 "Best/Worst Films". For a full explanation of what THAT entails, you'll have to listen to the show...

Plus, the Callback, this week's E-Mail, and some odds and ends about the Yahoo Animated List and AFI's upcoming Ten Top Tens...

Join us next week for a special 2-part S:C devoted to independent films, with tons of special guests and some great surprises!

See you then!

Subject:CINEMA #75 - "Diamond Dreams - Baseball At The Movies"

Better late than never...I am SO sorry for being so late getting the show up this week, but it couldn't be helped...

This week, we take a look at baseball in the movies (and I have to admit, due to a screwup on my part, we TOTALLY forgot "The Natural" with Robert Redford).

THE SHOW: We got a TON of baseball movies in, and also, the regular features - Callback, Bonehead, Poll results - plus a preview of "The Final Season", coverage of "Attack Of The B-Movies" and complete reviews of "December Boys" and "Fierce People"!

THIS WEEK'S NOTES:

Full notes coming as soon as I can get to them...

In the meantime, don't forget that Masters Of The Macabre begins next Sunday with Boris Karloff!!

Subject:CINEMA #74 - "Underrated Incorporated"

This week, by request from listeners, we name another dozen movies we thought were underrated - movies that didn't really get a fair shake, from the critics, the public, or both!

THE SHOW: Kim and TC reveal their dozen Underrated picks for this installment of underated movies, and try to give you reasons why you should check them out. Also, TC reviews Julie Taymor's "Across The Universe", the usual stuff - Email, Bonehead Of The Week, poll results - and coverage of this past week's National Amusements "Attack Of the B-Movies" series.

THIS WEEK'S NOTES:

I'll have some more notes, and the video clip mentioned in the e-mail, up later this evening. Of course I always say that and sometimes it's a week or two later, but I PROMISE they'll be up by early Monday Morning at the latest this time!
