    WUH: Anatomy of a fall

    A look back at the crappy year that was 2024 and some news about the double crappy start to 2025. Plus my movie watches of last year, the highs and lows and things in between. I'm such a lucky boy. Me on TPB talking about Radio On (1979): https://www.projectionboothpodcast.com/2024/08/episode-702-radio-on-1979.html

    Please join me for the Third Course of my, "Cannibal Trilogy," started almost exactly one year ago. To round things out I take a stab at the 1982 German film Der Fan, starring Desiree Nosbusch and Bodo Steiger as a young fan and her Pop Star obsession, respectively.

    S7E3. Leftovers to be: Parents (1989)

    Weirding Way Media honcho Chris Stachiw is back again, this time we chat about Bob Balaban's pitch-black-cannibal-comedy Parents (1989). The film stars Randy Quaid (Nick Laemle) and Mary Beth Hurt (Lily Laemle) as the parents of Brian Madorsky (Michael) who may or may not be force-feeding him human flesh. Balaban uses the backdrop of Mid-Century Americana to weave a nightmarish tale of childhood dependency.

    S7E2. She was one tough old mama: Foul Play (1978)

    Fellow Weirding Way Media podcasters Chris Stachiw and Mike White are back on the show to discuss Foul Play (1978). Written and directed by Colin Higgins (Harold and Maude, 9 to 5) the film stars Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase in their first box office smash! Hawn plays Gloria Mundy who becomes embroiled in a Hitchcokian conspiracy plot to assassinate the Pope. Chase stars as Lt. Tony Carlson who is tasked with trying to protect her and track down the band of assassins: Whitey Jackson, Scarface, The Turk, and Rupert Stiltskin aka The Dwarf. The film also stars Dudley Moore, Burgess Meredith, and Brian Dennehy.
