Ep #40 - Kiss, Marry, Kill in the 60s: 1965
Fists in the Pocket (1965)
Cinema60 continues its series of Kiss, Marry, Kill, this time with a focus on the year 1965. As previously explained, it’s a variation on the ol’ FMK game, played year by year as we go through the decade. Bart and Jenna challenge each other to choose one film they love (“Marry”), one film they want to see (“Kiss”), and one film they hate (“Kill”) that was released in the year 1965.
Having finally made it to the middle of the decade, Bart and Jenna celebrate by tempting fate, railing against “normals,” smashing the established film canon, and pointing out how horny every movie is. Bart also manages to name check Repo Man, The Coca-Cola Kid, and Sheena: Queen of the Jungle, even though Jenna reminds him that there’s no decade of movies she cares about less than the ‘80s. But mostly they chat about how there’s a real surplus of great films that came out in 1965 (and at least a couple stinkers).
