Host Martin Kessler finds himself in the middle of an angelic civil
war, complete with soul-sucking seraphims, ritual exorcism,
apocalyptic implications and an intervention from Lucifer himself,
as he opens the ancient book (or should it be a scroll?) on Gregory
Widen's 1995 theological thriller The Prophecy. Luckily, he's able
to enlist first-time Pink Smoke guest Matthias van der Roest and
fan favorite John Arminio to confront Christopher Walken's
celestial terminator Archangel Gabriel before he turns heaven into
hell. Support our Patreon: www.patreon.com/thepinksmoke The Pink

Host John Cribbs is joined on the latest episode of The Pink Smoke
podcast by Martin Kessler of Flixwise: Outpost Canada to discuss
Mike Leigh's latest film, Peterloo. A historical drama looking at
the semi-forgotten massacre at St. Peter's field in 1819, the film
sees Manchester-ite Leigh returning to his home turf and somewhat
unfamiliar artistic territory. With Vera Drake, Topsy-Turvy and Mr.
Turner, historical dramas aren't precisely strange terrain for
Leigh, so what makes Peterloo feel like the filmmaker has stepped
outside of himself?

Hosts John Cribbs & Christopher Funderburg discuss the
legendary documentarian Errol Morris' latest film AMERICAN DHARMA,
an extended interview with Steve Bannon (the architect of Donald
Trump's successful 2016 presidential campaign). It's another
typical Morris study of self-deception, specious reasoning &
the strange intersections of pop cultural & real life. The
podcast discussion also addresses the issues of deplatforming, how
the film fits alongside FOG OF WAR & THE UNKNOWN KNOWN and the
politics of fear. The Pink Smoke site: www.thepinksmoke.com/

For Clint Eastwood’s 90th birthday, hosts Christopher Funderburg
and John Cribbs have each selected one of the actor/director’s
films to discuss. This Eastwood Double Feature looks at Don
Siegel’s The Beguiled and Eastwood’s own Unforgiven, a pair of
films that illustrate why the star-auteur achieved his iconic
status while remaining hard to pin down as an artist. The intense
hothouse sexual politics of The Beguiled and the irony-soaked
destruction (and rebuilding) of myths found in Unforgiven serve as
a jumping off point to exploring Eastwood’s cinematic legacy,
philosophies and elusive politics. It’s an unflinching discussion
of one of cinema’s most towering, embattled, and controversial
figures. The Pink Smoke site:

The myth of Wyatt Earp ignited at the ascent of cinema, his alleged
Old West exploits embellished on celluloid during the Silent Era so
that he was a full-fledged American legend come the golden age of
Hollywood. Earp westerns were such an established staple that Law
and Order, the first movie to star a surrogate Wyatt, was already
out in 1932. All the familiar elements were there - Tombstone, Doc
Holliday, the gunfight at the O.K. Corral - but the names of the
players were different. From fairly straight biographical
retellings including The Arizonian and Dodge City to radical
revisions like Sam Fuller's Forty Guns and Edward Dmytryk's
Warlock, the "Wyatt Earp movie without Wyatt Earp" has developed
into an obscure but crowded subgenre. Who could identify such a
subgenre but artist/Old West historian David Lambert, returning to
The Pink Smoke to share his thoughts on the cinematic legacy of the
killin'est peace officer who ever lived. Why so many thinly-veiled
adaptations of the gunfighter's printed legend? How do they stack
up next to the official versions, like John Ford's My Darling
Clementine? Come for a nice long dive into these and other
inquiries, stay for Lambert's killer Andy Devine impression. Hey!
