Thanks

Great upload - I loved Cox insights and introductions. Along with Alexander Walker my first introduction cinema critique and that there was more than meets the eye in so much of 70s cinema. A standout memory was the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers pointing out that the omnipresent Transamerica building.

Thanks, he was one I watched regularly

[@Emulous79]

This takes me back! I remember most of these. My first experience of cult cinema.

I love Cox's facial expression on the avatar to this upload.😁

[@tcehaus2600]

Geek nostalgia overload, thanks pal. Edit, This is spectacular, I remember watching these live. There is a lot to be said for the value of scheduled TV.

[@VideoTasties]

Couldn't agree more!

[@tcehaus2600]

@@VideoTasties thanks very much I used to love Dr Terror too. Friday nights. I wish they would bring back curation again. Just looking at your channel, we'd be on the same frequency for films etc. I used to love the cannon stuff too, well some ha. I loved Orion pictures, talk about quality stuff. Robocop, the Terminator, some of Johnathan Demmes movies.

@@tcehaus2600 yes he was great

16:00 Cox is SO wrong about “The Duellists” it’s an exquisite and beautiful film.

[@VideoTasties]

@@TheGava4 he may have changed his mind since

[@spaceodds1985]

It sure is.

[@dr.impossibleofcounterpunc1984]

Cox was a big proponent of Goddard. I probably view Cox as a quintessential auteur filmmaker. I was never a fan of Repo Man or Straight to Hell. Probably Cox's best attempts were Sid & Nancy and the greatly undervalued The Highway Patrolman, which deserves a solid 4K transfer for the UK market, even though Kino in the states released the film on Blu. Maybe Indicator could get The Highway Patrolman released.

[@VideoTasties]

That's why I couldn't find a copy of highway patrolman before the interview

[@dr.impossibleofcounterpunc1984]

@@VideoTasties ILC video released Highway Patrolman on DVD in the UK. But it does go for slightly more money now. I bought a copy when it came out on DVD in the early 00s.

[@rogermorris9696]

Love the upload, but watching them back but Cox does come across as a pompous a-hole sometimes.

[@VideoTasties]

a little, lol

[@win33adam]

Opinionated maybe, but that was what made Moviedrome so great for me. You just can't be that honest on TV anymore.

[@spaceodds1985]

He sure does.

[@SamLowryDZ-015]

Wait to see you the bloke they replaced him with.
