    Phantom of the Paradise (1974) w/ the hosts of Shocked and Applaud

    There is no easy way to describe the plot to the fantasy musical  comedy, Phantom of The Paradise but The Vern and guests  from Shocked and Applaud podcast do their best to describe it. Made right after Sisters(72) and before Carrie(76) Brian DePalma directed this rock horror musical that came out before The Rocky Horror Picture Show but for some reason did not get the cult status that one achieved.    Listen now to see if it deserves any love or if the disfigured face the lead character gets is good enough, Ad Spots That's Da Bomb Yo from Rabbit Hole Podcasts Music Credits Music featured in episode was from Phantom of the Paradise(1974) released by 20th Century Fox. Songs were written by Paul Williams and performed by Jessica Harper

    Body Double(1984) w/ Ryan Luis Rodriguez of One Track Mind

    *Note* This episode was originally released Dec 4th 2020 We begin the month of December by covering the films of director Brian DePalma.  He has been compared to Alfred Hitchcock  but many of his films are a lot more mature in content.  Not only does he direct thrillers, but he has worked in horror, action, dramas, and musicals too. On this episode, Ryan Luis Rodriguez of One Track Mind (formally of Coolness Chronicles and present member of Reels of Justice) returns to discuss  DePalma's homage to Hitchcock's Rear Window and Vertigo with Body Double.  Listen to him and The Vern go over moments of this intricate thriller.
