Episode 390: Transforming Careers, Snacks and Judy

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy have 11 film reviews for you this week including a whole bunch of documentaries. They include one about a male-order catalog (All Man: The International Male Story), one about album covers (Squaring the Circle) and a trio involving a bodybuilder who became a politician (Arnold), the career beyond Freddy Krueger (Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story) and a director’s obsession with a film from 1939 (Lynch/Oz). There are also films about an artist’s assistant (Daliland) and the creation of a spicy snack (Flamin’ Hot). There’s a new take on the Frankenstein story (The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster), a post-WWII séance (Brooklyn 45) and a whole other kind of horror, one of personal choice in Margaret Thatcher Land. Finally can the Autobots and Decepticons build on the good will of Bumblebee (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts). 0:00 - Intro 1:15 - All Man: The International Male Story 7:55 – The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster 14:47 - Squaring the Circle 20:25 - Arnold 26:40 - Daliland 34:23 - Lynch/Oz  42:49 - Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story  57:42 - Brooklyn 45 1:08:12 - Blue Jean 1:18:02 - Flamin' Hot  1:31:16 - Transformers: Rise of the Beasts 1:43:14 - Outro This is a public episode.
