Re: Grab Bag 5: Three

Phantom of the Paradise is a movie I've been meaning to check out for a while. Do it so I have an excuse to watch it!

Also way to not mention Suspiria in the Jessica Harper chat. (Like 70s cult horror films ever come up on the show)

Sorcerer is fucking awesome, you won't be disappointed. It's like Apocalypse Now's less-well-known cousin in the "70s filmmakers with massive balls filming crazy sequences in the jungle" genre.

Phantom of the Paradise I clearly need to see based on this discussion, as I haven't seen much early De Palma.

Re: Grab Bag 5: Three

I blind bought Sorcerer a few months back and wasn't disappointed.  I've seen it twice now and probably don't need to see it again, but goddamn - it's the kind of movie you watch and go, "how did no one die making this movie?"

Oh, and speaking of SyFy/Asylum's ZNation, one-off "friend of the show" Anastasia Baranova stars in it.  Haven't watched it yet, but am excited to see her getting work.

Re: Grab Bag 5: Three

So, I just powered through this episode right before work and it was really fun. Looking forward to watching "Phantom of Paradise" and then listening to you guys talk about it, so thank you Trey.

Given all that has happened, this was a lot of fun. Thanks guys!

God loves you!
