    53. "Horror of Dracula" (1958) S: Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee

    Our panel of Eric Trommater, Hy Bender and Sila Blume discuss Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee in Hammer Studio's second Gothic Horror adaptation. Sila accidently watched the wrong movie but that's ok. Yoni Ivy also joined us and claims Eric has a doppelganger on YouTube. She also opines on Shakespeare perhaps being a woman? Yes we got off topic but, hey, we had fun.

    Special Guest Host Fiona Powell leads Eric Trommater, Yassi Soufi, Sila Blume and Hy Bender in discussion of John Malkovich as con-man and Kubrick impersonator Alan Conway.

    50. "The Draughtsman's Contract" (1982) Dir: Peter Greenaway

    Eric Trommater, Yassi Soufi and Sila Blume discuss Peter Greenaway's puzzling historical piece. Set four years after The Glorious Revolution, in Kent, England, the film is seen as an allegory, by Yassi, a comedy of manners, by Sila, and a bit vulgar, by Eric.

    49. "The Death of Stalin" (2017) Dir: Armando Iannuci

    Eric Trommater, Yassi Soufi, Hy Bender, Sila Blume and Mat Bradley-Tschirgi discuss this dark comedy about events following the death of the Soviet Dictator Stalin from the creators of TV's "Veep." The all-star cast includes Steve Buscemi, Simon Russell Beale, Paddy Considine, Rupert Friend, Jason Isaacs, Olga Kurylenko, Michael Palin, Andrea Riseborough, Dermot Crowley, Paul Chahidi, Adrian McLoughlin, Paul Whitehouse, and Jeffrey Tambor. How do they hold up against their real-life historical counterparts? How much is fact and how much fiction? Did Sila like the music? Will Yassi sneak in a Star Wars reference? (Spoiler alert she was absent this week, so no.) Listen to find out.

    46. "Don't Look Now" (1973) D: Nicholas Roeg

    Remembering Donald Sutherland (1935-2024). With: Eric Trommater, Yassi, Hy Bender, Sila Blume, Mark Redfield, Hilary Marek, Shona Charlton and Kathy Edge. We tackle Nicholas Roeg's haunting adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's novella. Sutherland and Julie Christie find time, between mourning the loss of their daughter, restoring a cathedral in Venice, and dealing with a pair of psychic sisters (who claim to have seen the dead daughters from beyond the grave) to have some pretty hot and heavy sex. Is it horror? Perhaps. Is it a masterpiece? We all thought so. Want to join the conversation?
