Friday March 9th, 2012 07:00 Episode 29: More Silva, More Gold

We really decided to branch out this week and do another Henry Silva and another Dolph Lundgren movie. Silva & Gold double feature!!

cree… cree….

The first film is one that is probably a bit lesser seen… and interesting and somewhat (totally) heavy handed Shoot from 1976, starring not only Henry Silva but also Cliff Robertson and Ernest Borgnine!

Next we dive back into more Swedish-direct-to-video-yum with The Peacekeeper from 1997. Yes, you get Montel Williams teaming up with Lundgren, but you also get Michael Serrazin AND Roy Scheider! Joy!

We fuckin ramble on way too long as usual and make this another epic for no good reason. At least we talked about wrasslin’ a lot again!

Music this week:
Ice Cube – When Will They Shoot?
Birthday Party – Gold Blade
Beach House – Silver Soul

Friday March 2nd, 2012 07:00 Episode 28: Stories of Strong Men

A Loaf lacking confidence and Honey Badger Zom roll in for another week of Silva & Gold, this time reviewing two documentary films graciously provided to us by some class dudes. We bring you a Stories of Strong Men double feature!

First we tackle a documentary quite awhile in the making about strong man Stanless Steel, in Zachary Levy’s Strongman. Not exactly what you think it might be.

Next we jump head first into a subject we are both passionate about, that being professional wrestling, and we review the 2011 documentary Memphis Heat: The True Story of Memphis Wrasslin’. We had to be careful not to ramble too much here about just what we love about the business, but it was a lot of fun.

Both filmmakers provided the screeners for us to review which we greatly appreciate. Please check out their websites by clicking on the posters at the bottom of this post!

Music this week:
Echo & The Bunnymen – Show of Strength
Chuck Berry – Memphis, Tennessee
Patsy Cline – You’re Stronger Than Me

Friday February 17th, 2012 07:00 Episode 26: NASCAR style

Silva & Gold & Loaf & Zom return this week bringin you some good ol boy stock car racin movies…. in particular two biopics.

The first film we discuss is 1977’s Greased Lightning starring Richard Pryor, Beau Bridges, and Pam Grier… a film about NASCAR’s first black driver Wendell Scott.

The second film is a possibly lesser known Jeff Bridges film from 1973 called The Last American Hero… based on the story of driver Junior Johnson.

We ramble on more than usual about pretty much everything and draw this out way too long. Who really needs to hear about soup and catheters? Oh well, it’s free so shut yer yap.

Friday February 10th, 2012 07:00 Episode 25: Vile British Gangsters

Silva & Gold is back in your earholes this week with a cockney slant bringing you a British gangster double feature.

The first film we cover was a bit difficult to track down for awhile. Richard Burton puts Liz to the side for a bit to transform himself into the violent Vic Dakin in 1971’s Villain.

Next we have a classic (?) film with a classic (.) Ben Kingsley performance, also starring Ray Winstone. 2000’s Sexy Beast comes roaring in.

Plus the usual rambling and an epic feedback from the Cinemasochist.

Music this week:
Viktor Vaughn – Vaudeville Villain
Judas Priest – Rage
Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson – Gangster of Love

Friday February 3rd, 2012 07:00 Episode 24: More Wrasslin

Another week and more wrasslin talk at Silva & Gold. This week we bring you the princess and the poo with two films featuring wrasslin and wrasslers that couldn’t be more different.

First we shoulder-tackle Jules Dassin’s classic noir Night and the City from 1950 and get a glimpse of how it all used to be.

Then we top rope splash 2000’s Ready To Rumble with David Arquette, Scott Caan, and DDP, and get a glimpse of what may have gone wrong.

We should know better. Trying to “rush” in order to let Zom get some much needed rest, we end up babbling for another 2.5 hours. Our loss is your …. gain? Hmm

Music this week:
Mean Gene Okerlund – Rock N Roll Hootchie Koo
Rick Derringer – Demolition
Honky Tonk Man – Honky Tonk Man

Friday January 20th, 2012 07:00 Episode 22: Magnificent Bastard Caine

Thanks go out this week to Brian from the Hammicus Podcast for programming our first official magnificent bastard double feature – two Michael Caine classics!

The first is a 1966 film based on a stage play called Alfie. Lots of tail to be had including an almost young Shelley Winter!

The second film combines soccer/football and Nazis, so it has to be good, right? Starring not only Caine but also Sylvester Stallone, Pele, and Max von Sydow… 1981’s Escape to Victory

And we talk about buttholes and laugh like children at fart noises.

Friday January 13th, 2012 07:00 Episode 21: In The Navy

Zom and Loaf go out to sea… then on shore leave… in this week’s episode as we travel back in time to 1973 to cover a couple navy-themed films.

First is a lesser-known James Caan film called Cinderella Liberty. Staches, racial slurs, and natural titties make this one right at home on our show.

Next is a classic Jack Nicholson role alongside Randy Quaid in The Last Detail.

Battle of the staches with two cinema icons!

And the usual yammering and stammering of course. Feedback us at 206-339-1600 or silvagoldpodcast@gmail.com

Friday January 6th, 2012 07:31 Episode 20: Fate and Free Will

Loaf and Zom get a little (just barely) metaphysical this week for the New Year with a couple films exploring fate and free will.

One is 1972’s Slaughterhouse-Five directed by George Roy Hill. It is based on the book of the same name by Kurt Vonnegut about a time traveling average joe who simultaneously finds himself in the Battle of the Bulge, Dresden, Germany, and abducted by aliens in the far future.

Next we cover a modern classic starring Bill Murray and directed by Harold Ramis, 1993’s Groundhog Day. If you don’t love Murray, we will hunt you down.

Happy new year, you magnificent bastards.
