Brian De Palma's 1974 rock opera is the very definition of a "psychotronic film": derided by critics upon release and ignored by audiences (except in Winnipeg!), it's gone on to garner a huge cult following and is generally considered among De Palma's best.
And yet, Gary had never heard of it! Which means that its cult is still growing. So this week, we discuss whether or not the film is worthy to sit among the greats in the Psychotronic Hall of Fame!
SYNOPSIS: A disfigured composer sells his soul for the woman he loves so that she will perform his music. However, an evil record tycoon betrays him and steals his music to open his rock palace, The Paradise.
We’d love to hear from you! Contact us at any of the social media accounts listed below or give us a call at (864) 372-9931 and leave us a voicemail of 3 minutes or less and we’ll play it on the next show!
Theme song: “Foreign Body” by the Slasher Film Festival Strategy from their album PSYCHIC SHIELD. More info: slasherfilmfestivalstrategy.bandcamp.com
