Putney Swope (Welcome To The Basement)

"Are you for surreal?" This movie sure is. Opinions on this freaky 60s satire vary, as Craig and Matt tackle Putney Swope. In Seen It, we discuss Irish soul groups, Thai warriors, and death at funerals.
All film footage is used in accordance with fair use and US copyright law. All music in the show is used with full permission of the composer.
Thanks for all the great comments. Keep em coming! If you watch one of the movies we discuss, let us know what you thought of it.
Welcome To The Basement" is a show about watching, discussing and having fun with movies. Matt choses the movie and Craig doesn't know what it is until the cameras start rolling, so none of the discussion or riffing is planned ahead of time.
Movie announced on facebook before every new episode. Get the movie and follow along.

    It's a cabinet my wife painted. The trees are people. Some of them are naked. She painted it sometime in the mid 90s.

Please watch or review in Seen it: Sam Peckinpah's - "Bring me the Head of Alfredo Garcia!" or Andrew Dominik's - "Chopper" one of Eric Bana's best performances, and also opens the flood gates on great Australian cinema that has been happening for the last 10-12 years, and flying under our North American radars.

    One thing I realized when watching, was how it worked in it's chronological context. My favorite movie of all time is Kentucky Fried Movie, and that wouldn't have been possible without Putney Swope. I think Hollywood Shuffle owes a lot to PS also. As unworkable PS is as a movie, it is a triumph of influence and representation. And Huggie Bear was fantastic. Great work guys - keep it up.

    I hate to sound like a scolding teacher but, Dennis Weaver played the main Sidekick in almost 300 episodes of Gunsmoke. He was also the lead actor in something like 45 episodes of McCloud during it's 7 seasons. Each episode was like a TV movie that ran from 60 to 90 minutes and up two hours long. If anything, Weaver is probably remembered most for those two TV series, even though he had dozens of credits in Westerns and good TV movies like Duel.

    Have you seen the 2007 film The Living Wake ? It is my favorite comedy and is the story of the eccentric K. Roth Binew as he knowingly goes through his final day of life. It stars Mike O'Connell Binew and Jesse Eisenberg as his boy. It transcends most dark comedy by never stooping to vulgarity for a laugh. Its humor is often subtle, random ,and extremely emotional at the same time.

    I'd recommend watching the 1966 British film "It Happened Here". Interesting "Red Dawn"-esque alternate history setting, without the gung-ho "'MURICA, FUCK YEAH!" attitude. Great film for history buffs, or anyone in the mood for a look into British post-war cinema. Interesting side-notes: Stanley Kubrick donated film stock from Dr. Strangelove in order to help finish the film; and the film's cinematographer, Peter Suschitzky, later went on to work on Rocky Horror and Empire Strieks Back.

    I know DENNIS WEAVER from McCLOUD .. the CROCODILE DUNDEE of NEW MEXICO.. RIDING his HORSE in NEW YORK INSTEAD of riding in COP CAR.. "McCloud is an American police drama television series created by Herman Miller, that aired on NBC from September 16, 1970, to April 17, 1977. The series starred Dennis Weaver, and for six of its seven years as part of the NBC Mystery Movie rotating wheel series that was produced for the network by Universal Television. The show was centered on Deputy Marshal Sam McCloud of the small western town of Taos, New Mexico, who was on loan to the metropolitan New York City Police Department (NYPD) as a special investigator." - from wikipedia.
