When it rains, it pours, and Mike Schulz, after wandering through a virtual desert of cinema these last couple weeks like a sundowning Moses, has defied expectations, stayed alive, and made it to the Promised Land to lay down the law, to kibitz over the commandments, with Dave Levora and Darren Pitra.
Well, four of them, anyway:

Mike Schulz, Dave Levora, and Darren Pitra get right into it this time around — very light on the “hail-fellow-well-met” pleasantries and straight onto the business at hand.

Mike Schulz, Dave Levora, and Darren Pitra spend some time on the back-half talking about the cinematic iterations of Batman (meaning, Burton and Nolan) and the coming Joker: Folie à Deux, which, if Todd Phillips feels he must continue genuflecting to Martin Scorsese in his sequel, he will have to somehow incorporate his love of New York, New York (1977, starr Liza Minelli and Robert De Niro) as well.
Hmmmm. . .
These, here, now, the films:

Mike Schulz, Dave Levora, and Darren Pitra turn in a tight ten-minute back-and-forth this week, a consequence of Schulz having seen two films and two previews, total.

Mike Schulz, Dave Levora, Darren Pitra, movies, discussion of. That’s the set-up. That’s what they do. That’s what’s done. We’ll let you know if they decide to play off it (introduce a guest speaker, say) or outright abandon it (the three opt to perform scenes out of Samuel Beckett’s Play, for instance). It’s likely they won’t mess with the format like a certain someone does the mic settings at the beginning of each klatch.

River Cities’ Reader publisher Todd McGreevy talks with WQUD GM Aaron Dail about the contents of the August edition of the River Cities’ Reader. With Floatzilla and Alternating Currents both wound down (the interview took place on 16 August), it’s time again to feed your heads the old-fashioned way — by reading stuff. Preferably stuff with heft. Stuff for discerning eyeballs. Stuff that reminds you of your rights and responsibilities as a citizen.

Mike Schulz discusses the possibility with Dave Levora and Darren Pitra of an Oscar for Previews, the last Tim Burton film he’s fallen in love with (as opposed to merely enjoying), and the shock reveal that, in the original Beetlejuice, Michael Keaton was on-screen a total of sixteen minutes (get out!), before getting down to the meat of the matter — other movies!
