There Will Be Duds

79 - The Night of the Hunter (1955)


Listen Later

Odds and Ends: The newest Sight and Sound poll results just dropped, and we dive into the various controversies surrounding it, because people can’t just like the movies they wanna like; T.J. talks about the recent Netflix show 1899, but it’s really just an excuse to talk about an older show he likes a lot more; Nick talks about The White Lotus again, or maybe for the first time (definitely not, though); he also saw It’s a Wonderful Life for the first time, and we think it’s about as much of a Christmas movie as our feature film this episode… speaking of “feature film”...  


Feature Film: We talk about the certified hood classic “The Night of the Hunter,” the sole directorial effort by renowned actor Charles Laughton. An ahead of its time flick that features some really great performances, crazy good cinematography and visuals, and knife boners! Rachel Cooper an OG, but we’d feed Icey Spoon to the Reverend in a heartbeat.  


Next week's movie: The Act of Killing (2012)
