Mazan Movie Club

Let's be honest... a Movie Club is way more fun than a book club (except for credits & subtitles NO READING!). Join in as we discuss, dissect & debate the IMDB Top Rated movies. AFI's top movies and those films generally regarded as the best ever. Check out and chime in on social media--we will include your critique or comments in the show. It's a club! For cinephiles and regular movie lovers alike. We want your opinions on the movies and their place on the IMDB list. Hosted by Emmy-Winning Writer & Comedian Steve Mazan

The most polarizing film we've come across on our countdown yet! Stanley Kubrick makes his 3rd appearance on the Mazan Movie Club and not everyone is happy about it.

Are any WOMEN a fan of this movie?

Is Stanley Kubrick a fan of ANY women?

What genre would you put this in? 

Is this a young man's movie?

Why does some guy at Starbuck's jump into our conversation? Did that guy just invent "Pod-Bombing"?

Horror Fan/Writer/Blogger Josh Soriano, and fellow cinephile & repeat guest Rick Ramos, join Steve Mazan to answer all this and more.

Travis Bickle joins the podcast...temporarily. Then Comedian Lee Levine jumps in to review and discuss "Taxi Driver" after watching it for the first time.

Host Steve Mazan and Lee try and figure out why Travis owed that black driver five bucks. Was Travis a hero at all? Was he in Vietnam?

Are there people that think "Apocalypse Now" is pro-war? 

Was it weird that there was sitcom called "Taxi" in production just a year after this?

How hot was Cybil Shepherd?

What's up with that ending?

What does Mr. T. Have to do with all of this?

Scorsese follows up "Mean Streets" in style and even more grit and violence.

Plus our Movie Mazan Club members take the driver's seat to chime in!

David Lean's 1962 Best Picture winner gets the movie club treatment, and a lot of clubbers list this as one of their favorites: "Lawrence of Arabia"

Lawrence gets asked, "Who are you"...but we ask where are all the women? 

Is three and a half hours too long for a movie? Do we need an intermission for the on demand video version?

Should Lawrence have told the Arabs they were pronouncing his name wrong? 

Was Lawrence a traitor? Does it matter? 

Do you need to see this on the big screen?

Is the Irish Critic a pushover for a handsome man?

Is Arabia any different from the hundred years ago these events took place, or the 50yrs since the movie was made?

Should this film be way closer to the top than #83?

All these questions and more get covered on this week's Mazan Movie Club with returning favorite guest Reese Golchin, Denise Mazan and Steve Mazan.

Hosts Steve Mazan and Denise Mazan use Billy Wilder's "Double Indemnity" as a jumping off point to discuss the entire film noir category. Denise thinks she doesn't like the genre, but is it just B&W films she doesn't?

Why does everyone think "Double Jeopardy" is a remake of this? 

Is Barbara Stanwyck sexy or handsome?

Are Fred Macmurray and Edward G. Robinson really in love with each other?

Should you always watch a movie til the end? And what DVD did Denise break in the middle of watching it?

All these questions and a lot more are answered on this week's Mazan Movie Club!
