The Next Five Rotcasts

The next series of rotcasts will start with five themes that bleed into each other, starting with the “England Swings”. Within that show we will give a thumbnail sketch of several movies made in London during the 1960s. Among them will be: Darling, Repulsion, Georgie Girl, Bunny Lake is Missing and If. To move away from the swinging sixties, we will compare If with an earlier U.S. film called Rebel Without a Cause. This will transition us into show “Rebel, Rebel”.

I am only talking about movies in the Rotcast series, but Rotcast is setup to be a magazine of topics we enjoy, so there will be the usual talking heads and wine reviews. I have recently learned that another podcast uses the title of rotcast as a subtitle for some movie related content on their podcast. That's unfortunate, but they concentrate mostly on movies, and again we are a magazine with various departments. We will occasionally speak about movies. Old movies. We will not recommend these films, but use the movies as subject for analysis and hopefully, tangents.

In Rebel, Rebel We will jump back in time again to discuss The Wild One. And hopefully transition into our show themed: “Fathers”. (We will pivot subjects using the slang “taking a brody” which is used in The Wild One and The Dark Corner).

Fathers will transition into “All New Crime Favorites” which will transition into “New York at Night”.

To outline the order:
England Swings
Rebel, Rebel
Fathers
All New Crime Favorites
New York at Night

Followed by, but not necessarily in this order:
House Nice
All Blue Issue
Animal Follies
Not Quite Human
Heroes

I am in the process of establishing a Questionaire for these themes. You will be able to find them at www.rotcast.com. ( The original)

More later.--Rotwang
