Round 10: Tossup 15

Two Parisians who are rivals in this job bicker about Vittorio Cottafavi in a 1989 satire by Luc Moullet (“moo-LAY”). This was the main job of the director of Aquarius and Bacurau, Kleber Mendonça Filho (“KLAY-ber men-DOHN-suh FEE-yoo”), before his turn to filmmaking. A person best-known for work in this job collaborated with Russ Meyer on the script for Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. (15[3])A show about a character with this job parodies an infamous leaked audio clip via the line “full of country (*) goodness and green peaness.” Quentin Tarantino’s long-gestating final film was originally meant to be about a character with this job, which was held by the two people who inspired the Mayor of New York and his aide in Roland Emmerich’s Godzilla. This was the main job of a person whose struggles with cancer were detailed in Steve James’s documentary Life Itself. For 10 points, name this job of the hosts of At the Movies, Siskel and Ebert. ■END■
