Lee is back with part one of a two-part look at the soundtracks and scores of sex comedies, specifically those of the 1970s and 1980s, the raunchier the better! There was so much material to go through that he had to split each decade into its own super-sized episode of BotT, and even then he's barely scraping the surface. In part one we start off in the decade where the sex comedy really started to take off overseas at first: the 1970s! This was especially obvious in places like Great Britain a...

Regardless of if you like the work of Quentin Tarantino or not, it can not be denied that he curates killer soundtracks for his films. Much like how he borrows visually and thematically from the films of the past to create his own unique film architecture, he often layers in music from other films in other to do much the same. Sometimes the music is there just to accent a scene and make it cooler, sometimes it's a deeper meta reference. Sometimes it just doesn't work at all, but nobody always hi...

Sometimes the cinematic vanity project (a film that is usually some combo of a single person writing, directing, producing and acting in a film) can be an artistic vision that's a masterpiece that stands the test of time. A good example would be Orson Welles' "Citizen Kane". Most times, however, vanity projects are created by total outsiders who have the money but no talent, but their drive and their delusions push the project through, for better or for worse. This time out Lee has put together ...
