Elric and Brian are joined this episode by one of their dream guests - Director Joe Dante - to talk about a topic that is near and dear to him: Westerns. The focus is mostly on Pre-WILD BUNCH westerns, but the discussion strays outside of that as well. Joe definitely pulls out some deep cuts! Enjoy!

This month at the theater, the overriding programming theme is films from women - be it directed, co-directed or written by women and it's one heck of a lineup. Joining Elric, Brian and Phil this month to talk about the New Beverly calendar is film critic and blogger Marya E. Gates who is an authority on the topic and even did a lovely project called "A Year With Women" which you should absolutely check out: https://cinema-fanatic.com/a-year-with-women/

On this very special episode, PCP pays homage to the now late great indie auteur that was Larry Cohen. Elric and Brian have selected five "essential" films from Larry and offer pairings for them as well as a wild card film each - which can be anything Mr. Cohen has written or directed over the years. Have a listen and definitely check the wonderful KING COHEN Documentary (which is mentioned several times throughout the show)!

The idea for "Kiddee Midnights" was born out of the "Kiddee Matinees" and Midnight screenings that have been discussed on the New Beverly Calendar episodes of the show. The thought was to join them together in a peanut butter and chocolate kind of way and on this episode, Elric and Brian are joined by Millie De Chirico who programs TCM Underground (and more) to take on the topic. Each of them has selected five double features - containing one kids film and one midnight/cult film. This episode was a lot of fun to research and record so please enjoy!
