Episode 28 - Cat People

We're sticking with the season 3 theme of "tricky relationships" this week, with the 1942 and 1982 versions of Cat People. The original starts out like a noir film and gradually turns into a psycho-sexual thriller, quite different and risque for its time. Catherine is a big fan of this one and its producer, Val Lewton, so the discussion is chockful of tidbits for all you nerds out there. The remake was directed by Paul Schrader and takes advantage of coming out in a more liberal time, by adding in lashings of blood and boobs. As well as other more... mature themes, so you've been warned: don't listen to this one in front of the kids.
