Random Acts of Cinema
But is it an allegory? Made under Nazi occupation, French filmmaker Marcel Carné created magical medieval fantasy about the devil and his minions who invade a castle full of beautiful, disillusioned lovers and wreak havoc.

936 - Bull Durham (1988)
Random Acts of Cinema
Ron “The C[l/r]own Prince of Sports Movies” Shelton brings us the ultimate sexy minor league baseball movie that strikes a surprising chord of division between your humble hosts. Which of us is the seasoned podcaster who never really rose in the ranks and which is the young hotshot with a million dollar arm and a five cent brain? Either way, we both agree that the Costner/Sarandon/Robbins trio is an all-star cast.

583 - The Four Feathers (1939)
Random Acts of Cinema
Wait, so that Ozzie-Osborne-like-bad guy from G.I. Joe who could change the color of his skin made a prequel of that totally problematic Heath Ledger movie from the early 2000s? Well, not quite. Actually, you know what, that’s pretty much exactly what happened. Join us as we discuss Zoltan Korda’s remake of a remake of a remake that was eventually remade, remade, remade, and remade again. We are joined by our good friend Max to contemplate Victorian imperialism, sun blindness, and the real color of pineapple. Join the Random Acts of Cinema Discord server !...

1001 - The Daytrippers (1996)

Greg Mottola’s takes the viewer on a frantic ride through Manhattan… and into our hearts. Sort of.

4 - Amarcord (1974)

It’s number 4. It’s Fellini. It’s a beloved and highly influential 1970s nostalgia-infused takedown of everyday people living in and under fascist Italy. And yet for all of these things, it’s truly one of a kind. Join the Random Acts of Cinema Discord server ! *Come support the podcast and get yourself or someone you love a random gift at our .

243 - French Cancan (1955)
Random Acts of Cinema
There’s a reading of this movie as Jean Renoir’s exercise in delayed gratification. What’s a cancan? Is that a cancan? Will they cancan? Oh no they can’t cancan!! But maybe, just maybe… No they can’t! And then just when you’ve given up all hope: they can cancan! And by god, they do. (Spoiler alert.)
