Jen welcomes Darren Herczeg to help her rhapsodize about a movie even director Ken Russell didn't like, Valentino!
Tip us at ko-fi.com/hystpod!
The wonderfully-named Phallic Frenzy gives Russell his due as an audacious filmmaker, and describes Valentino in complimentary terms.
See Nureyev fully commit to the bit by dancing "Swine Lake" on the Muppet Show in 1978.
The book on Fatty Arbuckle that Jen mentioned is called Room 1219: The Life of Fatty Arbuckle, the Mysterious Death of Virginia Rappe, and the Scandal That Changed Hollywood, and it's well worth a read for anyone interested in early Hollywood.

Jen and Tim rationalize David Fincher's unlucky first feature, Alien Cubed (aka AlienÂł). Turns out that Tim has A LOT to say about Alien movies!
Read a 1992 interview with David Fincher, in which he's quite candid about "the worst thing that ever happened to me"â that is, the production of AlienÂł.
A helpful fan wiki has provided a transcript of William Gibson's first draft screenplay for the movie.
Love Fincher? Listen to our episode on a movie that people steadfastly refuse to engage with in good faith, Fight Club!

Tim and Jen are surprisingly hard on Disney's amiable comics-based misfire, The Rocketeer!
See Rondo Hatton in The Brute Man, but let the MST3k crew accompany you through this murky noir.
The Cocoanut Grove fire has been widely covered in media. The Fascinating Horror channel has an excellent recounting of the disaster, in the dispassionate and non-sensationalized style of the best YouTube channels.
This 1979 BBC biography of Errol Flynn offers illuminating interviews with people who knew him, including David Niven, Olivia de Havilland, and his daughter Deirdre.

Jen and Tim return to Gumbasia to discuss the legacy of a complicated man: Gumby creator Art Clokey!
The documentary that sparked the discussion, Gumby Dharma, may be viewed free on YouTube via the channel for Bay Area PBS station KQED.
Pay a visit to Clokey Productions to see some behind-the-scenes footage!
Here's an example of that Lego wizard hat thing Tim mentioned. Clever!

An extra-mellow and profoundly aphasic Bitter Karella steps in to help Jen explicate the other, crappier version of The Warriors: Streets of Fire!
Hear the bangin' soundtrack on YouTube, which includes "Deeper and Deeper" by The Fixx (which you won't see on the Spotify version of the soundtrack even though "Deeper and Deeper" IS on there. Who knows why).
Yes, there are some tidbits about Streets of Fire in this 2003 interview with the immortal Jim Steinman, but the whole thing is worth a read for the Meat Loaf stories alone.
If you would like to experience what Karella surely considers the sexiest Gumby cartoon, "Grub Grabber Gumby" also may be viewed on YouTube.

Jen and Tim reflect on the last one hundred episodes (holy crap, we made it to 200 and beyond!) and each chooses five favorites from the mixed bag!
On YouTube, you can watch Penda's Fen, The Jericho Mile, and Pavel Klushantsev's delightful Planet of Storms.
Tubi has the taut thriller Money Movers, as well as the unjustly overlooked Heart of Midnight and George Romero's feminist drama Season of the Witch.
We also chose our most and least favorites for the first one hundred episodesâ take a further look back with us!

Tim and Jen invite Alex Rancourt of the Saucer Cinema podcast to marvel at Saul Bass's disquieting sci-fi dreamscape, Phase IV!
View the alternate ending that should have been the theatrical ending to Phase IV on YouTube.
A couple of interesting side notes about the Oscar-winning faux documentary Alex mentioned, The Hellstrom Chronicle: it was conceived and executive produced by David L. Wolper, the TV stalwart who shepherded massively successful television miniseries like Roots and The Thorn Birds, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Additionally, Walon Green, the screenwriter perhaps best known for William Friedkin's sleeper masterpiece Sorcerer, co-directed and produced the film.
A quick web search proved that the busty wasp mentioned by Alex isn't real, except perhaps in our hearts.
We alluded briefly to this article at Dennis Cooper's blog discussing film treatments of LSD, with a fabulous collection of acid-related GIFs accompanying.

Tim gets the bit (or byte?) between his teeth and rants about the 90s and the lost promise of the internet, and a little bit about cheapie TV movie Max Knight: Ultra Spy! Jen just tries to hold on as best she can! Oh yeah, and this is part one because we don't know how to shut up!
You can easily tell how white your hosts are by their lack of knowledge of UPN (not the only tell, if we're being honest), which provided a home for black shows and showrunners alike. Or at least it did for a while, before a gradual whitewashing leading up to the network's merger with the WB. The Hollywood Reporter provides a post-mortem.
[Former senior VP of comedy development at Paramount Pictures Television] Rose Catherine Pinkney believes the decision to merge UPN out of existence came down to ad revenue. âUltimately, you want the most dollars that you can get for your ads,â she says. Though UPNâs Black-led scripted shows (which by the end of UPNâs run included Eve, All of Us, Everybody Hates Chris) were largely popular with audiences, advertisers were evidently less inclined to pay top dollar to support shows targeting Black viewers. Farquhar, co-creator of Moesha and The Parkers, recalls an advertising person saying, âWeâre not interested in âdownscaled demographics.â âThey still make Tamogochis, holy shit.

Tim and Jen enlist Gaius of the wonderful Tribunate channel on YouTube to help unearth a Romans-vs.-Picts historical epic that vanished like the Ninth Legion, Centurion.
Jen's personal favorite video from Tribunate is this savage takedown of Cato, but this examination of Roman concepts of race and how radically they differ from ours is another great example of the high caliber of material from Gaius's channel. Also the triggered reactionary crybabies in the comments are extremely funny. Finally, don't miss this compilation of filthy Roman words!

Tim and Jen invite their favorite internet crank Bitter Karella to help them analyze a bewildering major release that no one liked, Argylle. It's so confounding a project, it leads Karella to use the phrase "Brechtian distancing mechanism."
Listen to our Apple TV+ episode, in which we read the entire platform to filth. F*ck you, Tim Apple!
Read this Deadline article about the production and marvel at how out of touch these people sound. At the end, director Matthew Vaughn throws in an enthusiastic endorsement of the Apple Vision Pro.
Read the incisive opinion piece Tim invoked when discussing the sexlessness of Argylle, R.S. Benedict's "Everyone is Beautiful and No One is Horny" via Blood Knife.

Jen and Tim just can't figure out why audiences were so lukewarm about this fun pulp adventure, The Phantom from 1996.
Phantom creator Lee Falk enthused about the movie in a 1996 interview, singling out Billy Zane for particular praise.
As Tim mentioned, the Phantom struck a chord with the people of Papua New Guinea. See examples of war shields of the PNG highlands featuring the character.

Tim and Jen welcome Rifftrax stalwarts Bill Corbett and Sean Thomason to discuss a cheapie high fantasy film that thinks it's a spaghetti western, Hawk the Slayer!
Bill and Sean have brought their Ringheads podcast to a close, but if you crave some Silmarillon chat, find it on Apple Podcasts or your preferred podcast platform.
The Rifftrax version of Hawk the Slayer is free with ads on Tubi, or you can secure your very own copy at the Rifftrax website!
In the Realms of the Unreal does not appear to be streaming as of this writing, but you can find out more about outsider artist Henry Darger at the documentary's official website.

Jen and Tim journey to Gumbasia to experience the vision of a lovable madman, The Gumby Movie, aka Gumby 1!
The story of Henrietta Lacks and the immortal cell line that bears her name is a remarkable one, encompassing topics of institutionalized racism, scientific ethics, and medical marvels. Adam Curtis made a fine documentary about Lacks and the HeLa line of cells in 1997 for the BBC.
The video for "All The Things She Said" by Simple Minds presents a fine example of the then-cutting-edge video work of filmmaker Zbigniew RybczyĆski.
And after you've seen that, really blow your mind with Charles and Ray Eames's head-spinning 1977 short, Powers of Ten!

Tim and Jen spice up their lives with a fluffy little movie about five assertive young women, Spice World!
Read a contemporaneous account from Rolling Stone of the Spice Girls at the height of their global fame, in which they pick their noses, pee on things, and generally lark about.
The VH1 commercial slamming ELO that Jen mentioned is the first one in this compilation.
Yeah, what was the real Fox Force Five? Since there's a wiki for everything, check the one for Pulp Fiction:
'This premise inspired the theme for the Spice Girls' 1996 music video for their song "Say You'll Be There" in which the girls adopt similar fictional identities.'đ€Ż
In true user-edited wiki fashion, this one is incorrect about the Code Name: Foxfire series mentioned. There were actually eight episodes that aired from January to April 1985, not just a pilot.

Jen and Tim mildly disagree on a Sam Raimi film that didn't quite hit with audiences the first time around, the gender-swapped revenge tale The Quick and the Dead.
You can watch some deleted scenes from the film, including the love scene between Sharon Stone and Russell Crowe (or "liebesszene," as it's described here, because it's dubbed in German. A couple of the non-sexy scenes are missing audio, probably because those elements were lost after the theatrical edit was finalized.
Jen raised the notion that women are better shots than men, but there's no real consensus. This study indicates that men and women are equally good at sharpshooting, apart from a slight advantage displayed by men with pistols. Well there goes the whole premise of the movie!!
Yes, Sam Raimi did credit Joss Whedon with helping him on the ending of The Quick and the Dead, but we won't hold that against him.
