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 (15[1])on the script for Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. (15[2])A show (15[1])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 (10[1])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■
