Ep# 48 - Kiss, Marry, Kill in the 60s: 1966
Trans-Europ-Express (1966)
Cinema60 continues its series of Kiss, Marry, Kill, this time with a focus on the year 1966. 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 1966.
In this episode, Bart and Jenna realize a lot of the best films have already been covered on previous Cinema60 episodes – from Seconds to Modesty Blaise to Blow-Up – so they decide to take some chances and choose some curveballs. Well, turns out they kind of break their entire formula because Bart ends up loving all of his picks while Jenna feels more inspired to gouge out her eyes after watching most of hers. Is there an overall theme? Let’s call it: things we cant look away from.
