Gregg: On Cinema at the Cinema, the top show in movie criticism today.
Gregg: The newest and hottest, most innovative film cinema, commentary, review program on the web.
Gregg: To be able to share my expertise with you, the viewer is a blessing.
Gregg: Welcome to On Cinema at the Cinema. I am your host, Gregg Turkington, long time guest, first time host, and hopefully host on many more episodes to come. Today, we're talking about a couple of movies with our special guest, fellow film buff, fellow film expert, Mr. Larry Turman. Good to have you here, Larry.
Larry: Happy to be here, Gregg.
Gregg: Yeah, it's nice that Tim found you. I guess you work at a local university? 
Larry: I run the master's program at USC Film School, yeah.
Gregg: Okay, so you see a lot of movies.
Larry: Less now than I used to when I was your age, but yeah, I see a lot of movies.
Gregg: Well good to have you. Today, we're talking about a couple of new releases. These are foreign films. Tim usually doesn't like to do them, but he's given me a couple of them here today. The first one that we checked out was The Girl on a Bicycle, directed by Jeremy Levin. It stars Vincenzo Amato, Nora Tertianer, Patty Constantine, international cast. They're no Harrison Ford, but they'll do. And these are actors I'm very familiar with. So it's about an Italian tour bus driver in Paris who proposes to the love of his life, only to have a young French beauty pull up beside him on her bike. He soon finds that his life is turned upside down as he tries to contend with loving both. It's sort of a menage-a-trois, as they say in foreign films very frequently. I loved the movie. Y'know, it wasn't a Bond movie, I'm kind of a Bondhead, as anyone that watches this show knows, but it had its charms. And I would give it five bags of popcorn. What do you think?
Larry: I didn't like it as much as you. I give it- I only gave it three bags. I give last year's film, Woody Allen's film, I gave that five.
Gregg: Last year's film? Last year's...
Larry: Blue something.
Gregg: Blue something...
Larry: I thought it was damn good.
Gregg: We actually had- not Woody Allen, but we had Joe Esteves on the show to talk about Woody Allen, and that was a treat.
Lary: Well, you want to talk about movies or personalities?
Gregg: No, we're interested in talking about movies. Actually, this season on our show, we've had a little bit too much personalities. And I kind of want to get back to the real roots of the show, which is film criticism. So let's see how you feel about our second film, Endless Love, directed by Shana Festi with Emma Rigby, Alex Pettyfer, Gabriela Wild. And it's about a privileged girl and a charismatic boy who have their love affair compromised when their parents try to keep them apart. This is a fun movie, a little painful at times, I found. But I still would give it five bags of popcorn.
Larry: Jesus, you're some critic. "Fun, but painful."
Gregg: Well, yeah, I mean uh, y'know-
*Popcorn Classics music*
Gregg: We're hoping you could say a few things about this week's Popcorn Classic, which features our hero, Sean Connery, Mr. James Bond. It's called Medicine Man and Lorraine Bracho, is in it. I don't know if you've seen this one.
Larry: And what do you want from me? My memory can't crank this one in.
Gregg: It's hard to forget an unforgettable movie like this. And I saw this quite some time ago as well. But I do remember that it was sort of an instant classic at the time.
Larry: And you're a purported expert?
Gregg: Well, I do- I mean, I know my stuff. I wouldn't say purported. That's kind of thing Tim might say. But I would say, I think I'm an expert. I've seen- this actually kind of shows my expertise and that I've watched now... Well, now we're up to 127 movies that I've watched. A lot of these are classics. Some of them aren't classics, but it doesn't matter. It's more about seeing them all and keeping-
Larry: I only want to see things that I think I'm going to like. That I think are- and I think I'm going to like those that are good.
Gregg: Well, I only love good ones, too. Nobody loves a bad movie. Fortunately, they don't make a lot of bad movies. They make a lot of good movies. And that's what makes it such a fine art. It's not like music, where you have a lot of bad songs.
Larry: We seem to disagree. So I don't know what to say about that.
Gregg: You have to love movies, I think, to be in this business.
Larry: You should do what I spend 40 years doing, making movies.
Gregg: Well, I don't think I'm really qualified for that. I think I have a lot of-
Larry: Well, you're talking like you're qualified.
Gregg: Well, thank you very much. Thank you very much. That's what I've been trying to tell Tim.
Larry: That doesn't guarantee that you are qualified, I just said you're talking like you're qualified.
Gregg: Definitely more than qualified to talk about it, more than qualified to see them, and to host the show. And hopefully, there'll be more opportunities in the future.
Larry: Can we pause for a moment? What makes you qualified?
Gregg: Well, I have one of the biggest video libraries in the state. I've been collecting movies for the past 15 years. And I've got one of the- this comes from my library. This is my coding system. We have so many movies. You can't just put them on the shelf and find them. You have to have a system. This is a brilliant system. M stands for the first- that's the first letter of the title of the movie. 5 is the number of bags of popcorn I give this movie, five bags. 9 is the decade that the movie was released in, '90s. M is the first letter of the last name of the director, in this case John McTyrnan. 14 is the shelf number. And then 30 is the tape number on the shelf. So it's a pretty big archive. It's a pretty historic archive.
Larry: Now I'm impressed. You are an expert-
Gregg: Thank you!
Larry: In filing.
Gregg: Mm-hm. So it's nice to have you on the show and have a peer here and really give people some expert opinions. If you watch the show for expert opinions, finally, your time has come because I think we really covered it all. The guy who normally hosts the show, he shows up and takes his shoes off and shows people, you know, welts and things on his leg or picking at scabs and things like that. That's his idea of film criticisms. Bringing in acupuncturists and quacks, and things like that.

Larry: We're done, the lights are off, we're finished here?
