Cinema Smorgasbord – How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? – Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead (1995)

On a returning HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? (the world’s finest Steve Buscemi-themed podcast) we’re looking at the stylized 90s crime caper THINGS TO DO IN DENVER WHEN YOU’RE DEAD, featuring a cast full of recognizable faces: including Andy Garcia, Christopher Lloyd, William Forsythe, Bill Nunn, Treat Williams, Christopher Walken, Fairuza Balk and – of course – Steve Buscemi as “Mr. Shhh”. But is it just a Tarantino rip-off, or does it have more to offer? LET’S FIND OUT! We also check out the latest Buscemi news because WHY THE HECK NOT?

Cinema Smorgasbord – George Kennedy is my Copilot – Earthquake (1974)

What’s a George Kennedy-themed podcast without a DISASTER? On this episode of George Kennedy is My Co-Pilot California is hit by the BIG ONE in 1974’s EARTHQUAKE where an all-star cast (including Charlton Heston, Ava Gardner, Richard Roundtree, Lorne Greene, Geneviève Bujold and – of course – George Kennedy) have to deal with the after-effects of a massive tremor that destroys most of California. Of course, before the quake hits there’s plenty of melodrama and complex relationships (script by Mario Puzo!), but once the earth starts to move things get properly apocalyptic. Our EARTHQUAKE talk is preceded by a short chat about a late-era episode of the television sitcom WINGS featuring George playing a put-upon version of himself! ENJOY!
