Ep. 9 - A HARD DAY'S NIGHT (1964)

Author: Marc Dickerson July 30, 2018 Duration: 30:41
CMC is back!  We begin our brand new series ROCK N' REEL: Cult Music Films of the 60s and 70s by discussing Richard Lester's A HARD DAY'S NIGHT featuring, of course, The Beatles.  The Beatles in a cult film?  And it's not MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR or YELLOW SUBMARINE?  Not even HELP??  Listen as Marc and Jeremy talk about why they think this classic film belongs in the same category as those more obvious choices. Cult Movie Cult is a podcast hosted by two independent filmmakers who love cult/b/underground movies.  Join them as they watch and discuss the horrific, the obscure, and the flat-out strange from the other side of cinema.

Ever find yourself drawn to the strange flicker of a midnight movie, the kind that feels like a secret handshake among film fans? That's the territory explored in Cult Movie Cult, a conversation led by Marc Dickerson and a fellow independent filmmaker. Their shared background isn't just about appreciation; it's about understanding the grit and passion that goes into making the films that mainstream channels often overlook. Each episode is like pulling up a chair in a cluttered editing bay after hours, where the discussion revolves around the horrific, the wonderfully obscure, and the flat-out bizarre corners of cinema. You'll hear them dissect these underground treasures not just as critics, but as creators who genuinely love the craft, offering insights into why these peculiar stories resonate so deeply with a dedicated few. This podcast digs into the textures of cult classics and forgotten reels, celebrating the oddities that refuse to be categorized. It’s for anyone who believes the most interesting stories are often found hiding in the margins, waiting for the right audience to hit play. Tune in for a deep, authentic, and often hilarious dive into the other side of the screen.
