Robert G. Weiner (pictured) and John Cline might strike you as a pair of typical Texas-based film academics—until you open their books to chapters like “Fondling Your Eyeballs,” and “Kicking Against the Pricks.” As co-editors of FROM THE ARTHOUSE TO THE GRINDHOUSE: HIGHBROW AND LOWBROW TRANGRESSION IN CINEMA’S FIRST CENTURY (and its follow-up, CINEMA INFERNO, both out August 16 from Scarecrow Press and containing essays by Fango’s own Rebekah McKendry), Weiner and Cline cover unconventional cinema with the knowledge of historians and the glee of film geeks.
