Davisville, Nov. 25, 2024: For this year’s movie show, 2024 Derrick quotes 1974 Derrick

Mon, 11/25/2024 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Derrick Bang April 1976, photo by Jim Mitchell.jpg

This fall’s annual movie show with Derrick Bang arrives with a few extras. To note his 50 years as a movie critic, he reads — and critiques! — the first paragraph of the first movie review he wrote, in 1974 for the California Aggie at UC Davis. We also hear from a film director who worried Derrick might not like his film. Plus we get Derrick’s usual take on movies to see and avoid this holiday film season, although he could only find a few, for reasons rooted in the current ambiguous state of filmmaking. Please, have a seat. We’re pulling back the curtains.

The photo, by Jim Mitchell, shows Derrick Bang at the California Aggie in April 1976.
