The One-Two punch that began New Hollywood continues with the suburban dramedy, “The Graduate”. This sophomore effort from director Mike Nichols is a highly quotable tale of a listless youngster falling into an affair with first the wife, and then daughter of a family friend. The movie still resonates (for some people at least…), due in no small part to the bravura performances by Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft, as well as the haunting Simon and Garfunkel score. Topics include: depression, plaaaastics, and if sleeping with your partner’s mom would be a dealbreaker.

Cowboy Colonialist: The Last Movie (1971) 1:49:30

منذ 23 hours1:49:30

1:49:30

In this episode we delve into one of the signature commercial and critical flops of New Hollywood: Dennis Hopper’s The Last Movie. This gorgeous yet impenetrable film was a crucial turning point bridging the early hippie-influenced films of the late 60s with the more cynical and popular mainstream cinema that came to define the 1970s. We are joined by Stephen Lee Naish, author of two different books discussing this week’s subject - Create or Die: Essays on the Films of Dennis Hopper, and Music and Sound in the Films of Dennis Hopper. So enjoy listening to someone actually qualified to talk about this stuff for a change! Topics include: American New Wave vs. New Hollywood, Jorge Luis Borges, and Charles Manson.…

Styles of a Bummer Night: Shampoo (1975) 1:54:46

منذ 22 يومًا1:54:46

1:54:46

Imagine that you could sleep with anyone you wanted in the world, now ask yourself: how would this affect my participation in the American Electoral system? We’re diving into the New Hollywood deep end with this episode as we discuss Hal Ashby’s Oscar-winning smash, Shampoo! Who knew watching Warren Beatty doing hair and kissing pretty ladies could be such a fun time at the cinema? Topics include: Lee Grant’s blacklisting, getting turned on by haircuts, and the death of the 60s.…

A Christmas BONUS from KYI! 1:22:38

منذ 6 weeks1:22:38

1:22:38

Merry Christmas! Here’s your gift! Sorry it’s a bit late but we never officially said we would be exchanging gifts in the first place so... anyway here it is! This episode is a break from our usual format. Absolutely zero New Hollywood or 70s film content to be found under this tree. Instead, Alana wanted to take some time out to do a treatise on Hallmark and streaming-era Christmas rom-com films. Luckily we had the perfect guest available: Ameerah Holliday, whose breadth of knowledge and level of thought given to the subject of Christmas movies far exceeds the usual drivel we spew on this show. Enjoy! Topics include: the role of magic in Christmas, nostalgia as it relates to casting, and taking your family to see Terrifier 3…

Yet again we gather at the beginning of a new year. The reason? To pit the films of the previous calendar year against the films released 50 years ago. That's right, it's 74 v 24 baby! Will New Hollywood reign supreme? Or will Alana and Sam pretend like they prefer a bunch of Netflix movies instead? Listen and find out!…

Mother Days: Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (1974) 1:21:57

منذ 12 weeks1:21:57

1:21:57

What? What are your problems with this episode huh? Go ahead and take a piece of paper and write them all down. Go ahead! Tell us what’s wrong! Well?? Why aren’t you writing?? Look, I promise you we WILL discuss the 1974 Ellen Burstyn vehicle Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore. We WILL litigate Scorsese’s overactive camera. And we WILL describe the episode we watched of the sitcom Alice with guest star Art Carney. Topics include: “realism”, “feminism”, and Kris Kristofferson AKA Big Daddy Santa Claus.…

When Dreary Met Shabby: Love Story (1970) 1:51:51

منذ 15 weeks1:51:51

1:51:51

The time has come to wish a hearty Happy Birthday to Alana! We said she could choose any movie she wanted to talk about and out of all the wonderful New Hollywood classics, she chose this one. Love Story itself might be astoundingly mid, but this discussion we had about it was a rollicking good time! More than half of the episode gets spent just gabbing about the our favorite classic film romances, as well as what it even means to be “romantic”. Topics include: Instagram, Erich Segal’s alleged populism, and literacy rates then vs. now. One topic that does NOT get touched upon is Robert Evans, despite the fact that the hosts repeatedly insist throughout the episode they will eventually discuss him. Ah well, someday……

Ah, Theatre! - The Iceman Cometh (1973) 2:26:46

منذ 17 weeks2:26:46

2:26:46

Join us in celebrating Sam’s birthday with this special episode on the John Frankenheimer film version of Eugene O’Neill’s play The Iceman Cometh. The hosts dig in to the unusual experiment in cinematic stage plays that birthed this project. You might think a four-hour-long play about alcoholism and despair sounds like a weird birthday present to give oneself but this discussion actually turned out to be rather charming and fun. Happy Birthday Sam! Topics include: Jason Robards vs. Lee Marvin, 1950s television, and Alana’s thoughts on Jack Lemmon.…

Ballad of a Tall Man: Phantasm (1979) 1:51:54

منذ 18 weeks1:51:54

1:51:54

The scares continue all through Halloween over here at KYI! The hosts, and their guest Levi Butner, wander the graveyards and get stuck in the muck as they discuss Don Coscarelli’s cult classic Phantasm. The obvious connections to Spielberg and Raimi are noted, as are the film’s roots in the Universal Monster tradition. Join us as we celebrate this massive achievement in low-budget filmmaking. Just watch out for the Tall Man, that motha’s stronggg! Topics include: actors watching their own work, “nerd-horror”, and the many places to hide flying orbs inside a person.…

Thrills. Chills. Catskills: Young Frankenstein (1974) 1:10:52

منذ 21 weeks1:10:52

1:10:52

Horror comedy comes to life this episode with the Mel Brooks classic Young Frankenstein. This might be the first movie we’ve covered that almost everyone we’ve ever met has undoubtedly seen! The gags remain evergreen, but this watch through the hosts were primarily impressed by the beautiful filmmaking and imaginative storytelling on display. The writing, cinematography, performances, music, and direction are all the stuffs of geniuses working at the top of their game. The effect is almost symphonic. It was good luck indeed that the movie came along at just the right time when the creatives, as well as film comedy itself, still had a lot to prove. Topics include: A Long Strange Trip, Frankenstein Day, and Alana’s thoughts on Jim Carrey.…

8 1/2 x 4: Fellini & Mazursky & Fosse & Allen 3:46:14

منذ 24 weeks3:46:14

3:46:14

This is a big one, folks. Alana and Sam take a deep dive into cinematic meta-fiction as they explore the relationship between the seminal film 8 1/2 (1963) and its three most prominent New Hollywood descendants: Alex in Wonderland (1970), All That Jazz (1979), and Stardust Memories (1980). We approached this project with the seriousness and rigor we feel it deserves which apparently to us means making you listen to us talk for nearly four hours! Topics include: the 1976 Tonys, acting teachers in 70s movies, and the ontological argument. Start timecodes for each segment: Federico Fellini’s 8 1/2 - 0:00:00 Paul Mazursky’s Alex in Wonderland - 0:56:10 Bob Fosse’s All That Jazz - 1:46:35 Woody Allen’s Stardust Memories - 2:23:57…

Xenophilia: Alien (1979) 1:46:51

منذ 28 weeks1:46:51

1:46:51

Alana and Sam search for the familiar within the unknown as they immerse themselves in the world of Ridley Scott’s genre-defining classic Alien. They ruminate on the disturbing picture it paints of space and the cycles of nature and remark upon the hilarious improv skills of Yaphet Kotto. They also find time to touch on the recently released Alien: Romulus so that they can, you know, hitch onto the crass bandwagon of nostalgia along with everyone else. Topics include: I, Claudius, exploitative nudity, and the relatively high percentage of knights involved in the making of this film.…

Book Report: Easy Riders, Raging Bulls 1:39:27

1:39:27

Put on your spectacles, nerds! We’re talking some long-form PROSE in this episode. Our subject today is Peter Biskind’s Easy Riders, Raging Bulls: How the Sex-Drugs-and-Rock 'N' Roll Generation Saved Hollywood. That’s right, not a MOVIE like we typically feature on this podcast, but a BOOK instead. We aim to give you a tour through the thrilling yet crass world Biskind maps out in this book and also take time check in with ourselves as to our general impressions of the Movie Brats. Topics include: Bogdanovich vs. Platt, Coppola’s megalomania, and crocodile tears for a dead pig.…

Jesus Egg-cetera: Cool Hand Luke (1967) 1:51:35

منذ 32 weeks1:51:35

1:51:35

Ohohoho it’s getting sweaty over here! On this episode we are joined by Ryan and Katie from The List to chat about Cool Hand Luke. Perhaps the defining prison film of the New Hollywood era, Paul Newman’s megawatt star power is put to perfect use as the ultimate lovable loser. We had a ball making the episode and what emerged was more or less a complete exegesis on this multifaceted Christian allegory. Except, you know, funny. Topics include: podcasting while married, slang words in West Side Story, and Dennis Hopper’s distracting background work.…

Tonight’s episode of Kael Your Idols will be MASH! That’s right, Robert Altman’s MASH. Join Alana and Sam, that lovable pair of married movie fans as they dish the dirt on this beloved classic of early seventies cinema. A few laughs and a few tears, some contextual analysis of misogyny, and more on this evening’s Very Special Episode of Kael Your Idols! Topics include: the recent death of Donald Sutherland, the meaning of “Altman-esque”, and why this episode is so laaaaate (we’re sorry)!…

Trailer Trash Triumphant: Pink Flamingos (1972) 1:58:13

منذ 39 weeks1:58:13

1:58:13

Get ready for the most disgusting, amoral, nastiest podcast-iest episode ever! We are delighted to bring you a discussion of John Waters masterpiece of filth Pink Flamingos. Underground cinema edges closer to the mainstream with this early 70s midnight movie and Sam and Alana both have appropriately strong reactions to its subject matter. Topics include: what it means to be ‘over the top’, Netflix’s early years, and chickens v. eggs.…
