The earliest example of animated Star Wars is the first thing we examine, Droids. The latest example we examine is Rebels. The Star Wars holiday special showcased an animated short featuring Boba Fett and was the first foray in animation with the property. Droids, set about a decade before A New Hope, follows R2D2 and C3P0 as they bumble across the universe falling into one adventure...

Based on the comic and character by Carl Barks, DuckTales follows the adventures of money obsessed Scrooge McDuck. The original series had an impressive level of animation for television and put Disney TV squarely in the front for viewers. Spawning a couple spinoffs and a video game it was a smash It is a wonder that the series too so long to reboot. The new style is much more economical, modern yes, bu...

New To You ShowPart of a Complete Breakfast Pt2 - GLOWGLOW - the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling (documentary & netflix series) Keith’s pick explores a short-lived 80′s wrestling show and the netflix series that recently aired dramatizing it. The series is funny and dark. The casting is great with lots of physical performances. The documentary is alright, it gives a glimpse at the world of the show from the perspective of the performers. The GLOW series is available on Netflix. The GLOW documentary is likewise up on Netflix. NEXT WEEK: Brian’s pick is up as we discuss the original D...

The album had a TV special tie-in starring Drew Barrymore, which is around on YouTube if you want to dig it up. There are a few good tracks in here. There are better covers by better bands, and better theme songs, but this is what they put together. This buried ‘gem’ of an album is not currently in print. eBay, amazon, or other res...

New To You ShowWoe Yuletide Them Pt4 - NoelNoel (animated TV special 1992) Our final episode with Dan is also his pick! And what a special and joyous way to spend our Christmas. The Rankin & Bass production is cheap looking for early nineties animation. If it weren’t for the relationship of the writer to the production house I doubt this special would have been released. Even with a sparse and limited subject matter, which is reflected in the still images we’re presenting here, the animation is very budget concious. This special is around online to watch, you can shell o...

New To You ShowWoe Yuletide Them Pt3 - The Nutcracker in 3DThe Nutcracker 3d (movie 2010) Jules sure picked a winner this time... This is a tale of the rise of fascism and the blitz with a veneer of music and holiday magic. The director felt that film can’t capture ballet so he avoided dancing, instead opting to shoehorn lyrics into the Tchaikovsky composition. I can’t imagine how they got Tim Rice to help with these clunky phrases. The imagery is at times beautiful and often disturbing. This is a mess of a movie, it is like 3 half-movies and the corpse of a ba...

New To You ShowWoe Yuletide Them Pt2 - Ventures Christmas AlbumThe Ventures’ Christmas Album (1965) Holiday albums are amongst some of the top selling records of all time, which means lots of bands have a Christmas record. We are bombarded by them from the moment Halloween decorations leave the shelves. Keith’s pick is one of the few you may be able to stomach on repeat listen. The Ventures are a prolific & pioneering band, playing with pedals and effects to create sounds that to date had never been used in a music track. The band is made up of true craftsmen- they have the prec...

New To You ShowWoe Yuletide Them Pt1 - A Christmas DreamA Christmas Dream (tv special 1984) It was a golden age of prime time network television. A-Team, Webster, and dozens of new shows were bringing in the viewers. In the tradition of TV specials NBC made A Christmas Dream, a loose narrative upon which to hang celebrity appearances, ice skating, ventriloquism, music, magic, and when you’re lulled in- a healthy dose of dogma. The two featured stars, Emmanuel Lewis and Mr. T, were both on shows taking boasting huge ratings. Emmanuel Lewis plays latch-key kid and humbug “Johnny.” Mr. T plays an unti...

New To You Show3spooky5me Pt4 - Are You Afraid of the Dark; "Tale of The Dollmaker"Are You Afraid of the Dark “Tale of the Doll Maker” (tv episode) Giaco puts a spooky cap on our spooky eps with a classic episode of kids TV horror from the 90′s. The series allowed for a wide range of story types and a variety of scares. Tale of the Doll Maker has very little concrete solutions- the characters survive, but we don’t know what they survived or how it came to be. The protagonist’s behavior was certainly ahead of its time. She is the definition of an anti-hero, breaking in and rans...

New To You ShowWatering Hole Pt2 - Crowd CrushCrowd Crush (tv series) When Casey thinks watering hole he thinks ‘gathering of people’ and crowd crush is that gathering taken to the extreme. A crowd starts acting like a fluid when it reaches a certain density. Extracting yourself from one of these crowds is often literally swimming upstream. The pilgrimage to Mecca for Hajj is one of the events that regularly draws massive crowds and therefore crowd crush. As cities become more densely populated the chance of finding yourself in one if these pressed increases. Be careful and aware when you are...

Following in the success of The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine took a new approach to the Star Trek formula. Instead of traveling to new places each episode, they setup a station on the frontier of the explored universe and let the trouble come to them. The watering hole was Quark’s bar- a gathering place for people from across all stripes of society and morality. The bar was established as an integral part of the...

New To You ShowLost & Forgotten Pt1 - Forgotten SilverForgotten Silver (movie) John starts us off with a documentary that went direct to TV in New Zealand. It puts forward the tale of a kiwi inventor and filmmaker who actually was first in many fields. The documentary is a short project Peter Jackson put together after Heavenly Creatures and before he directed The Frighteners. The film uses all the common documentary tropes to paint a picture of a national hero. It is a complete fabrication. Forgotten Silver is available on iTunes and there are DVD copies out in the world.

New To You ShowHigh Fantasy Pt4 - BoneBone (comic) Keith rounds off our topic with a comic by writer/illustrator Jeff Smith. Initially self-published it was picked up for full publication by Image. The three bone cousins are a classic comedy trio, with the naive nervous nelly, the mean schemer, and the carefree wildcard. Jeff smith was heavily inspired by past comic illustrators, most notable Walt Kelly. Bone is available at most bookstores and libraries in both small collected volumes and large ‘complete’ volumes, in color and in black and white. You can also purchase it on Amazon.

New To You ShowNew To You ep328: Hot, Hot, Hot! Pt4Tropicalia (music and art movement) Keith’s pick for Hot, Hot, Hot is the subversive psychedelic music/art/political movement from Brazil in 50′s, 60′s and 70′s: Tropicalia. The movement combined folk, traditional instruments, modern electronic instruments and a variety of play styles. Gilberto Gil is one of the founders of the movement.

The film kicks off style as Rosie Perez dances in front of stage-lit stoops Using classic theatrical tropes to contrast the individuals Spike Lee is able to deftly get to the subtle tensions of race and community.

New To You ShowNew To You ep326: Hot, Hot, Hot! Pt2“Burning” from The Whitest Boy Alive (off Dreams 2006) Adam’s pick for Hot, Hot, Hot is “Burning,” a track from the first Whitest Boy alive record Dreams. The band was a two album project. You’ve probably heard the songs on a few commercials. Erlend Øye is a prolific composer who spearheaded Whitest Boy Alive. The band is just one of many forms his musical career has taken.

New To You ShowNew To You ep324: Success Pt4The Black Company (1984 - novel) John’s pick for success is the a fantasy book series that feels modern and fresh compared to the high-fantasy we’re used to. The series debuted a decade before Game of Thrones. The books follow a group of mercenaries as they try to survive in a war where they have been hired by the ‘evil’ side. The first in this series was Author Glen Cook’s first published book. You can purchase the Black Company on Amazon or your local bookstore. The audiobook is pretty good too.
2017-06-1938 min
New To You ShowNew To You ep323: Success Pt3The Player (1992 - movie) Giaco’s pick for success is the Robert Altman film from the early nineties that is widely known for its, at the time, record length opening shot. The story is very Hollywood. It explores a thriller against the shallow backdrop of the sausage making of big studio films. Tim Robbins stars as a soulless producer and studio exec. who rarely drinks a drop and who’s passions are all self-serving. You should continue on through the rest of Robert Altman’s work, Popeye, M.A.S.H., Nashvi...

New To You ShowNew To You ep322: Success Pt2The Royal Tenebaums (2001 - movie) Keith’s pick for success is the third feature from director Wes Anderson. The movie deals with characters who peaked as children, as they measure success. This is arguably the best effort yet from this director. It is a love letter to New York and the attention to detail in both characters and art direction makes itripe for many watches. The performances are fantastic. This feature exposed people to a number of actors and aspects of actors, that they had not previously been privy to. You ca...

This DVD & accompanying book are a mish-mash of Western majick and metaphysics purporting to reveal truths that you can to into for self-enrichment. The film combines self-proscribed experts with a spurious historical background to sell a toolkit of practices to the masses. You can stream the Secret on Netflix.

New To You ShowNew To You ep320: Spring Pt4Spring Breakers (movie 2012) Jules’ pick is the most commercial work from Writer-Director Harmony Korine (Kids, Gummo, Julien Donkey-Boy). This look at the drugs and debauchery of Florida over spring break plays with time and structure to evoke a drug fueled conception of reality. The cast are made up of Harnony’s wife and three Disney-star level actresses, plus James Franco. The colors and tone are all over the top. A fun romp and maybe not the best Korine flick, but a standout for its budget and cast. You can stream on Show...

New To You ShowNew To You ep319: Spring Pt3Ultimate (sport) John’s pick is a sport, a fun one that easy to just pick up and play, you just need a handful of people, a field and a flying disc. From the humble beginnings as a pie-tin tossed around at the beach, Frisbees have become a staple for picnics and beach romps. In the late 60′s a number of high school students, fans of playing with the Frisbee, created a game that within a few years was hosting major championships. Ultimate was born!

New To You ShowNew To You ep315: Weird Fact or Fiction Pt3Toad Road (2012 - movie) A true combination of Fact and Fiction and Weird, Matt Schwartz’s pick this week is a move from 2012. It was a few years in the making. The director sought a group of post-high school young adults who were living outside Philadelphia and partying. The film is part real footage, part scripted narrative, with ‘actors’ who are actually doing the drugs, passing out, getting in fights, and lighting each others pubic hair on fire. The fiction element is an urban legend of the area, a passage through a serie...

New To You ShowNew To You ep314: Weird Fact or Fiction Pt2Barba*rossa (deck building card game) This is a weird one, a Japanese card game in the vein of Dominion, but with a very off-putting theme and doubling down with off-putting art. This is John’s pick for Weird - and it certainly fits. Originally published in Japan in 2010 and lapsing out of print in 2013 an English translation was kickstarted in 2015. The players take the role of German generals in WWII who are mounting a campaign against Russia. Oh, and all the troops are represented by scantily clad manga illustrations. A hi...

New To You ShowNew To You ep313: Weird Fact or Fiction Pt1 Finders Keeprs (documentary) To kick off our topic Jules is recommending a documentary from 2015. The story is strange and twisting and full of odd characters. The setup- a man buys a grill/smoker in a storage locker auction. Inside the grill is a human foot. The man to whom the foot belongs comes asking for his foot back. Shannon found the foot after buying the grill and he believes it to be his ticket to fame. John Wood is the one who used to be attached to the foot. He wants it back...

New To You ShowNew To You ep312: Do-Gooders Pt4Roberto Clemente (baseball hall-of-famer) Our final selection comes from guest host Matt Rodriguez. His choice for a do-gooder is the record- and barrier-breaking baseball player Robert Clemente. One of the first Puerto Rican major league players, Clemente had to deal with segregation racism in his career. His sports achievements allowed him to provide for his family and to put his well-earned fame and wealth towards helping those in need.

When those people are entertainers they are often met with calls to sit down and shut up. Keith brings up Matt Damon as an actor that dedicates time and resources to philanthropic and humanitarian efforts. One of his larger efforts is to provide clean water to countries and people that lack the infrastructure and resources. It is telling that he uses his public face, outside of...

New To You ShowNew To You ep310: Do-Gooders Pt2White Helmets (documentary) An Oscar and a Nobel Peace Prize - these do-gooders have got the gold, but their story is far from luxurious and peaceful. Jules brings this documentary about a Syrian civil defense force as his pick. Be wary of the disinformation and conspiracy sites out there touting that this is terrorist linked propaganda. Syria has powerful backers, like Russia, and misinformation and spurious conspiracy theories abound. There are some powerful moments, like the rescue of an infant from beneath a bombed out building. John is a little bit skeptical- because th...

New To You ShowNew To You ep309: Do-Gooders Pt1Richard Wayman (film producer & accountant) Our first Do-Gooder is proposed by John. Wayman started the Highway Saftey Foundation in Ohio in the 1950s. What started off as a hobby for photography and a friendship with the police blossomed into a nationally distributed educational film company. The educational films focused on the behavior of the driver, where the safety of the vehicles and road conditions came secondary. You can find videos, like the first film “Signal 30″ on Youtube.

The 2001 dark sci-fi indy feature Donnie Darko was a hit at the festivals early in the year. It had to contend with the September 11, 2001 terror attack on New York that occurred just as it was slated for national theatrical release.

Lar Von Trier is a challenging figure, he is notoriously hard on female actors and portrays women harshly in a number of his films. Charlotte Gainsborough plays a woman who seems to be falling apart because of the death of her son, but may have had some darkness stewing before that. Willem Dafoe plays a manipulative psychologist husband who is trying to fix his wife, arguably so she conforms to his idea of grief. ...

The musical draws parallels to the cultural revolution of the 60′s and the rise of the Christ cult, and the violence that ended those movements. There are also notions of inevitability and questions of freewill.
