E Society Podcast - 31 Days Of Horror: The Food Of The Gods (1976)

This episode is joined by Julie to talk about 1976's  H.G. Wells THE FOOD OF THE GODS.

When a strange edible substance appears on a remote island, local farmer Mr. Skinner (John McLiam) and his wife (Ida Lupino) deem it a blessing and feed it to their farm animals. Soon other wildlife such as rodents and insects have eaten the food, which makes anything that consumes it grow in size. These gigantic beasts start terrorizing the island, with an athlete named Morgan (Marjoe Gortner) among those who are fighting for their lives against the gargantuan creatures.

"Halls of Anger" (1970) is a film that approaches the topic of desegregation in an alternative form. And until this movie, I never thought to ask myself, "Did white people integrate into black schools?" I don't know if that ever happened, and I never thought about that being a possibility. So that is a mental paradox for me. However, whether true or not, "Halls of Anger" explores the topic of white students integrating into a black school. The film features Calvin Lockhart, who was well into his acting career and was peaking as a dedicated actor. Alongside "Halls of Anger" in 1970, he also finished filming "Cotton Comes to Harlem," "Leo the Last," and "Myra Breckinridge." And all four of those films were utterly different roles where he had to adjust his performance style. Nevertheless, it showed his versatility as an actor, and in "Halls of Anger," he put on his usual powerful presence on screen. More so in this film because he was responsible for leading a complex issue. The movie's cast is a mixture of seasoned actors and actors emerging into their careers, such as Janet MacLachlan, James A. Watson Jr., Jeff Bridges, Rob Reiner, and Dewayne Jessie. Dave Grusin is responsible for the title theme, "Reaching Out To You," with vocals by Maurice Miller. Overall, the movie tackles race relations, philosophies, and prejudice among a generation going through a considerable change. Although the plot is straightforward, I enjoyed this movie and the message. Therefore, I recommend it for viewing. Director: Paul Bogart Writers: John Herman Shaner, Al Ramrus Starring Calvin Lockhart, Janet MacLachlan, Jeff Bridges, James A. Watson Jr., Dewayne Jessie (Otis Day), Edward Asner, John McLiam, Rob Reiner, Patricia Stich, Gary Tigerman, Ta-Tanisha, Paris Earl, Christipher Joy, Hilly Hicks, Randy Brooks Storyline The court-ordered desegregation of an inner-city Los Angeles high school brings 60 white students into the predominantly African-American student body. Ex-basketball player Quincy Davis (Calvin Lockhart) returns home as the school's vice principal to take on this challenging job. https://www.daarac.ngo https://www.daaracarchive.org/.../halls-of-anger-1970.html Available on DVD and streaming services. https://www.amazon.com/Halls-Anger-Calvin.../dp/B0062KME3S

Father’s upset about her hippie life style

He personified the American West in the days of its rowdy youth.

The Missouri Breaks, Arthur Penn (1976)

The “almost poetic” firearm that the sadistic, eccentric regulator Lee Clayton (portrayed by Marlon Brando) wields, with deadly accuracy, is enough to unnerve horse thief/would-be farmer Tom Logan (Jack Nicholson); that, and Clayton's bizarre, incomprehensible, disquieting carryings-on. Clayton clearly already knows that Logan is the primary horse-thieving perpetrator; however, he prefers to enact an involved, unfathomable game, for his own pleasure.

Regulator Lee Clayton manages to convey more sheer menace from a bubble bath than has ever been done in the annals of recorded history. An armed Tom Logan (Jack Nicholson), set to avenge the death of Little Tod, is, despite his apparent advantage, summarily unnerved and bamboozled; he does, however, score a minor victory by severely wounding the ontologically-different Clayton's bathtub. Afterwards, Logan converses with a colleague about Clayton’s formidable, uncanny, mesmeric power: “I had him.” “You think anybody could do it? I mean... an ordinary fella?” “I don't know. Seems like somebody oughta be able to get the job done. Just watch it is all. I'll tell you one thing, though. Don't start talkin' to him.”

Lee Clayton has encountered more than one Mental Wizard in his day....and, according to the perceptive regulator, they seem to share one common trait: they can't manage to hold on to their women, necessitating rhetorical queries such as “Where’s your Wife?” Clayton begins to engage in what is known as Undisguised Taunting, with his very employer, David Braxton, as the target.

Lee Clayton employs an extended bat metaphor to further taunt and enrage David Braxton (John McLiam); the land baron, his composure very long gone, delivers one of the most canonical, epoch-defining "Shut Up!, he explained..." moments in human history; and Clayton manages to even further bamboozle his erstwhile employer into stunned silence. And, mission seemingly accomplished, the regulator unhurriedly rides off, to further adventures.

The Missouri Breaks - Brando gone wild

Oddball quirky western from 1976 which was touted at the time of its release as a ‘meeting of the two greatest actors of our time’, but the box office for this one was a disappointment. The movie is beautiful to look at, with some interesting lighting choices, and nice scenery, and the cast is peppered with some nice character actors including Harry Dean Stanton and Randy Quaid, but the story is mostly pointless, and Brando’s performance, is well... I guess you either love it or you hate it.

Nicholson plays a member of a gang of horse thieves, who decide to pay back a dictatorial rancher who just hung one of their members by buying a ranch nearby him as a way station for selling their stolen stock. Someone kills the rancher’s ‘ramrod’ (not sure which of the gang does this), and he hires an eccentric ‘regulator’ to take care of the horse thieves (Brando). Nearly everybody gets killed by the final reel, and the story seems to have little or no point other than giving the actors a chance to strut their stuff. Nicholson plays it mostly straight, but Brando is having a field day, switching up oddball costumes and hats, changing accents every other scene and chewing as much scenery as he can get his pudgy jaws around. (I especially like the last costume, when he burns the hideout and kills Harry Dean Stanton) This guy is clearly having much more fun than the audience.
