Episode 75: Gays Gone Wild
This week sees the arrival of the twenty-first edition of Montreal's Image+Nation fest, featuring a wide-ranging survey of new films that touch on LGBT themes. To celebrate, we'll be tackling a few of them, including XXY, (which served as Argentina's submission for the Academy Awards last year), as well as the gross-out spoof flick Another Gay Sequel (as well as touching on its predecessor, Another Gay Movie) and, perhaps most excitingly, Bruce LaBruce's gay zombie satire Otto, or, Up With Dead People.

Rumours spead that the the new film by Baz Lurhmann, Australia, may be a box office disaster with squabbles over the length of the movie and even its ending. That is until Oprah went on her show raving about how it was the best film she had seen in years. Studio heads no longer need to worry about it`s box office numbers now that millions of Oprah heads are getting ready to rush and see some are calling the Next Gone With The Wind. Reports are that Baz Luhrmann wrote 6 endings and shot 3. Does Hugh Jackman’s character survive? No one is saying though a apparently there is a twist!
However that doesn`t mean it us going to be a good movie. Last time I check Oprah also made such a fuss over Vanilla Sky. Join Ricky, Simon and Ali who returns once again for some honest, no bullshit review on the epic film. While we`re at it, we will take the opportunity to review his older films Romeo and Juliet and Strictly Ballroom.

Episode 73: I Was a Teenage Vampire
Teenage girls everywhere are frothing at the mouth over Twilight, the Vampire teen-romance flick adapted from Stephanie Meyer's best-selling books. Ricky and Simon are in rough terrain here, being completely outside of the film's target audience, so our guest Ally, who's more familiar with the series of novels, helps out with the details. We also rewind to the 80's to take a look at two classic teen-vampire movies - Joel Shumacher's The Lost Boys and Kathryn Bigelow's Near Dark. And hey, why not remind you to give Let the Right One In another shot now that it's in wide release?

In recent years there has been a flood of movie remakes and reboots. The majority of these films have been seen in the Horror genre. However action films are not too far behind in numbers, with recent reinventions of Get Smart, Charlie’s Angels, The Terminator series and even Indiana Jones.
Most are outright horrible but once in a while there comes along a gem and Casino Royal was exactly what the Bond franchise needed. Fast forward two years and we’re treated to the follow up film in the franchise bearing the worst title of all Bond films, Quantum of Solace.
Join Ricky and Simon on this episode as they look into the meaning of its bizarre title and review the latest 007 film

With 1964's Goldfinger, the third James Bond story to reach the screen, the "Bond formula" had reached maturity. Screenwriter Richard Maibaum, a participant in the scripting of the previous two movies, Dr. No and From Russia with Love, had identified those elements of the series that audiences liked. So, for this film, his storyline (adapted loosely from Ian Fleming's 1959 novel) enhanced the action sequences, added more beautiful women, gave 007 an Aston Martin loaded with neat gadgets, and offered actor Sean Connery more opportunities to deliver one-liners and act suave.
In Episode 72 of The Naked Lunch Simon and Ricky with a special mystery guest take you on a time warp back before Bond was a house hold name. We’ll review the original Bond films with the original Bond, and discuss the early building blocks of the franchise.

Episode 71 - Alex Gibney special
Alex Gibney seems to be drawn to calamity. The documentarian's three major features so far focus on volatile topics and controversial events. His newest, currently in theaters, is called Gonzo: The Life and Work of Hunter S. Thompson, and it illustrates the troubled journalist's path from political rabble-rouser to caricature. We'll be essaying that particular film, as well as looking back at his 2007 Oscar winner Taxi to the Dark Side (a grueling look at detainee abuse in America's War on Terror) and the self-explanatory Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.
Find out how a local professor at McGill University right here in Montreal was responsible for some of the worst techniques of torture used in the wars in the middle east. Also learn how the world`s 7th biggest corporation went bankrupt in less than 48 hours. All this and more on the show voted one of the best film shows world wide!

The Naked Lunch takes a long, heavy look at the world of heavy metal through the films of Sam Dunn, Canadian filmmaker and anthropologist (and metalhead). We take a look at both his original doc, Metal: A Headbanger's Journey, as well as its followup, newly available on DVD, Global Metal. To help us delve into this sinister realm, we've enlisted the help of resident metal freak and Montreal Gazette columnist Al Kratina. Plus, we've added a news segment! It's...informative.

Tune in to our yearly Halloween tradition here at The Naked Lunch as we count down the top 31 horror films of the past 31 years. Also reviews on two Canadian horror films, The Changeling and Black Christmas.
The carved pumpkin lit by a candle inside is one of Halloween's most prominent symbols in America and is commonly called a jack-o'-lantern. Originating in Europe, these lanterns were first carved from a turnip or rutabaga. Believing that the head was the most powerful part of the body, containing the spirit and the knowledge, the Celts used the "head" of the vegetable to frighten off any superstitions. The name jack-o'-lantern can be traced back to the Irish legend of Stingy Jack, a greedy, gambling, hard-drinking old farmer. He tricked the devil into climbing a tree and trapped him by carving a cross into the tree trunk. In revenge, the devil placed a curse on Jack, condemning him to forever wander the earth at night with the only light he had: a candle inside of a hollowed turnip. The carving of pumpkins is associated with Halloween in North America,[10] where pumpkins were not only readily available but much larger, making them easier to carve than turnips. Many families that celebrate Halloween carve a pumpkin into a frightening or comical face and place it on their doorstep after dark. In America, the tradition of carving pumpkins is known to have preceded the Great Famine period of Irish immigration. The carved pumpkin was originally associated with harvest time in general in America and did not become specifically associated with Halloween until the mid-to-late 19th century.
The imagery surrounding Halloween is largely an amalgamation of the Halloween season itself, nearly a century of work from American filmmakers and graphic artists, and a rather commercialized take on the dark and mysterious. Halloween imagery tends to involve death, magic, or mythical monsters. Traditional characters include ghosts, ghouls, witches, owls, crows, vultures, pumpkin-men, black cats, spiders, goblins, zombies, mummies, skeletons, and demons.
Particularly in America, symbolism is inspired by classic horror films, which contain fictional figures like Frankenstein's monster and The Mummy. Elements of the autumn season, such as pumpkins and scarecrows, are also prevalent. Homes are often decorated with these types of symbols around Halloween.

There's so much great stuff at the multiplexes these days that Rick and Simon need to zoom out and take on a set of major directors one by one, tackling their newest features. First up - and the subject of the most debate from critics - is Charlie Kaufman's ambitious and troubled directorial debut Synecdoche, New York. Then we've got Clint Eastwood's new Oscarbait historical drama Changeling, starring Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich. On the lighter side of things, we have veteran director Mike Leigh taking a turn for the light with his delightful new film Happy-Go-Lucky. Finally, we have Kevin Smith, whose newest comedy, Zack and Miri Make a Porno (or, as it's known in Philadelphia, Zack and Miri Make a [Bleep]) opens wide this week. We tackle all of 'em. Oh, and don't forget the Podcast Awards, folks!
