The Cine-Files

Hello Cine-Files fans! Pushkin Industries, a podcast company we are sure you are all familiar with, reached out to ask us to help with the launch of their new show Business History. Former Planet Money hosts Jacob Goldstein and Robert Smith examine the surprising stories of businesses big and small, bringing to life the greatest innovations, the boldest entrepreneurs and the craziest mavericks in the archives of commerce and finance. They sent us an episode that fits with our conversations on movies. It details Thomas Edison's role in the mysterious disappearance of the true inventor of the movie camera. The man who invented the movie camera got on a train in France in 1890 and was never seen again. The wife of Louis Le Prince thought she knew who’d ordered her husband’s disappearance and presumed murder - Thomas Alva Edison. Many people were simultaneously racing to develop moving pictures - so had Edison decided to bump off his closest rival so he could win? The story of who deserves the credit for the movies is a murky one - involving bitter betrayal, courtroom drama and soft-core porn.We hope you enjoy it. If you do, find more tales of founders, business success, and spectacular failures on Business History, available on YouTube, Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get podcasts.Don’t forget to support The Cine-Files at https://www.patreon.com/TheCineFilesPurchase any film we feature at https://www.cine-files.netFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheCineFilesPod/?ref=bookmarkThis episode is sponsored by/brought to you by the following sponsors:HIMS.

On this episode of One Takes, a new show from The Cine-Files, hosts Steve Morris and John Rocha dive in to discuss 1984's REVENGE OF THE NERDS. It is directed by Jeff Kanew and written by Steve Zacharias and Jeff Buhai. The film stars Robert Carradine, Anthony Edwards, Ted McGinley, and Bernie Casey. Set at the fictional Adams College, the film follows a group of socially awkward students who form their own fraternity to counter ongoing harassment from the dominant Alpha Beta fraternity and its sister sorority, Pi Delta Pi. It's a film that received generally negative reviews, with criticism directed at its sexual content and use of racial and gender stereotypes, though some reviewers praised its underdog premise and satirical elements. But in the decades since, the film has been reassessed as a cult comedy and a notable entry in the "slobs vs. snobs" subgenre of 1980s teen films. John and Steve navigate their way thru the film talking about what they still like about the movie, addressing the controversies, and pointing out its prescience and if the nerds, who are the people in charge of our world now, are making the exact same mistakes the jocks did in the movie.To support The Cine-Files on Patreon, go to: www.patreon.com/thecinefilesBuy or stream this movie here: https://amzn.to/4gKoVFrFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheCineFilesPod/?ref=bookmarkThis episode is sponsored by/brought to you by the following sponsors:TRUDIAGNOSTIC.
