The PrestigeGANJA & HESS (1973) and EcstasyThis week we look at the 1973 film GANJA & HESS. After some pretty favourable reviews, we talk about the thoroughly confusing nature of the film, the idea of cinema as an immersive experience, and the different versions of the movie Bill Gunn was forced into making (and wanted to make) — all the while dancing around the idea of the ecstatic or out-of-body experience. (We don’t actually talk about it in the episode, but it seemed very appropriate as a theme for this week’s Prestige, given our discussions of religion, blood, sex, and race.)

El Acomodador - Podcast de Bandas Sonoras y CineEl Acomodador - Superman II III & IV - Programa 114Como dije en su podcast en “Superman” (1978) Richard Donner sentó las bases de cómo debe adaptarse un personaje de cómic a la gran pantalla. Pero los productores de la película, los Salkind, (unos peseteros) no lo vieron así y le despidieron cuando llevaba grabado tres cuartas partes de su secuela estrenada en 1980. Fue sustituido por Richard Lester y se nota, y mucho, lo rodado por uno y otro. Lester también estuvo en “Superman III” (1983) que no cumplió las expectativas ni críticas ni de taquilla, posiblemente porque parecía más un filme de Richard Pryor que del Hombre de...
