For our Under the Skin episode we’re talking to screenwriter and novelist Alexander Stuart about technology and his latest work.

What was once “the kids’ version of THX-1138“, Solarbabies is the story of seven orphans looking for salvation in a water-starved post-apocalyptic world. The neon-colored film from second-time director Alan Johnson was originally conceived by the artist Metrov. The story behind Solarbabies might be more compelling than the final film itself.

We’re joined this week by Patrick Bromley of the F This Movie podcast to make our way through the wasteland of Solarbabies.

Arthur Penn’s Night Moves (1975) stars Gene Hackman as Harry Moseby, a private eye trying to find himself in a post-Watergate America.  We’re joined by Nat Segaloff, author of Arthur Penn: American Director and Carol Borden of the Cultural Gutter.

Special Guests: Lance Henriksen, Holt McCallany, Vincent Ward, John Fasano, Mark Verheiden
Guest Co-Host: Brad Jones

One of the most hated — and possibly most misunderstood — sequels around, David Fincher’s Alien³ had contentious production history. We’ll attempt to unwrap the behind-the-scenes turmoil and on-screen mayhem along with Brad Jones, the Cinema Snob.

We talked to Vincent Ward who brought the idea of “monks in space” to the game and the late John Fasano who worked on a few drafts of the Alien 3 script. We also spoke with actors Lance Henriksen and Holt McCallany about what it was like to be on the set. And, we’re joined by Mark Verheiden who wrote the incredible Dark Horse comics Alien series.

While interviewing Lance Henriksen for our Alien 3 episode, Mike got to talking to Lance about other current and upcoming films including Harvey Lowry’s Monday at 11:01 A.M.  Mike also discussed pottery, puppetry, The Blacklist and Max Landis with Mr. Henriksen.

The Limey – the 1999 film from director Steven Soderbergh – tells the tale of Wilson (Terence Stamp) – a recently released career criminal from the U.K. who heads to L.A. to figure out what happened to his daughter.

We look at the third Punisher incarnation, Punisher: War Zone. This candy-colored symphony of violence stars Ray Stevenson as the titular “super hero.”

This week we’re talking about a trio of films created from the works and character of the late doctor of Gonzo Journalism, Hunter S. Thompson: Where the Buffalo Roam, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and The Rum Diary.

We’re going to talk about Glengarry Glen Ross, the film from James Foley based on the Tony- and Pulizer-winning play by David Mamet. Special Guests: James Foley, Ed Harris. Guest Co-Host: Chris Stachiw of Kulturecast.

Based on a novel by hardboiled scribe Jim Thompson, James Foley’s After Dark My Sweet is a neo-noir from 1990 starring Jason Patric, Bruce Dern, and Rachel Ward. The film tells the tale of Kevin “Kid” Collins, a punchdrunk palooka who falls in with a kidnapping scheme.
