Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast and HollywoodChicago.com's Pat “The Über Critic” McDonald talk about the movies that came out when they did: 1977's Pumping Iron and 1960's Never on Sunday! If you've never seen (or heard of) these films, you're in good company--both were delightful discoveries for the guys, who vow to dive into their birth-year vaults as an annual tradition.
What does a documentary about Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno competing for the 1975 "Mr. Olympia" title have in common with a Greek comedy about an American tourist trying to force culture onto a middle-aged, life-loving prostitute?
More than you might think.
Also, Ian reminds you to get tickets for next week's Mercury in Retrograde Chicago premiere screenings at the Gene Siskel Film Center (he'll be moderating the cast/crew Q&A on 2/21!), and has info on a special sneak-preview event for the 2018 DOC10 Film Festival!
