"It Was Bad, Mama. They Laughed at Me. Hold Me, Mama. Please Hold Me" .  . . The Lasting Legacy of Brian DePalma's Carrie

On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos, Ibrahim & I swing back to a classic of the Horror Genre, Brian DePalma's 1976 masterpiece of Suspense, Revenge, and Terror, Carrie. With a "Who's Who" of 1970's first-time talent including: Nancy Allen, Amy Irving, William Katt, P.J. Soles, and John Travolta, but the heart, soul, and pain of this film lays in the performance of (Oscar-nominated) Sissy Spacek. Spacek's scenes with Piper Laurie (her screen mother) are incredibly moving, adding to an already powerful depiction of bullying, teenage angst, and religious fundamentalism. 

It's great to return to a classic. Take a listen as Ibrahim & I continue our exploration of the Horror Genre.
