Esoteric Hollywood: Lloyd Johnsonius, Orson Welles & Vertigo
Intro theme: “Dream Agent” by Ariel Electron, Holeg Spies and Thierry Gotti on the “Kore Kosmou” album.
In this wild and wacky installment of Esoteric Hollywood, moral majority neo-con figure Lloyd Johnsonius tells us in Dobsonesque fashion which movies are acceptable. From there, I’m joined by my old high school hijinks partner, Ben Enoch to discuss Orson Welles’ The Third Man, and then I dissect Hitchcock’s Vertigo in esoteric style.
Capsule review of “Bridge of Spies”
Capsule review of “Bridge of Spies”Steven Spielberg directs Tom HanksMr. Steven Spielberg is a consummate cinematic craftsman and this movie is another of his minor masterpieces: a study in character, the herd mentality and standing up to authority. The acting, sets, costumes, cinematography, lighting and casting are superb. This is a complete film with an opening, middle, conclusion and epilogue.
