  • What I Did for Love
For our latest episode we're discussing Orson Welles noir essential Touch of Evil from 1958. Welles stars alongside Charlton Heston and Janet Leigh in this tale of corruption at the US/Mexico border. The horrors persist, but so do we! We're back for #noirvember with a discussion of Charles Laughton's brilliant and atmospheric noir about a serial killing con man who fools a lot of people into believing he's a man of God...except two kids and an old lady with a shotgun. Listen now! Happy 30th anniversary to #interviewwiththevampire, first released November 11, 1994. You can check out our very recent episode all about it. Coping together We celebrated our THREE HUNDREDTH EPISODE this week and we just had to use the occasion to close out Spooky Movie Month with one of our favorite horror films from the incredible Jennifer Kent. Check out our conversation on #thebabadook. The Dames interrogate one of the more controversial of the great horror films: 1968's Rosemary's Baby, starring Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes, and directed by Roman Polanski. This week, we continue Spooky Movie Month with vampires! Specifically, the 1994 Neil Jordan horror adaptation, Interview With a Vampire. We're talking Tom Cruise, Anne Rice, Louis' incessant whining, and the way Kirsten Dunst would be unfairly branded for years to come. Spooky season is upon us, which means SPOOKY MOVIES! We kick off this season with a legendary giallo: Dario Argento's 1975 film Deep Red, starring David Hemmings and the remarkable Daria Nicolodi. Murder has never been so weird. This week @lhbizness and @karenmpeterson finish up the fall festival season with a conversation about @taikawaititi's beautiful, hopeful, Oscar-winning film #JojoRabbit (2019).
