I'll be taking a trip down forbidden 90s teen movie lane to discuss the film Wild Things. Let's get confused and unconfused together. I don't know what I would have done without Shea Serrano's article Revisiting All of the Double-Crosses in Wild Things, 20 Years Later.

Wild Things is a 1998 American neo-noir crime thriller film directed by John McNaughton and stars Matt Dillon (Sam Lombardo), Neve Campbell (Suzie Toller), Kevin Bacon (Ray Duquett), Denise Richards (Kelly Van Ryan), Bill Murray (Ken Bowden), and Theresa Russell (Kelly’s mom Sandra Van Ryan). It’s full of twists and turns all the way until the end. When teen debutante Kelly fails to attract the attention of her hunky guidance counselor, Sam Lombardo, she accuses him of rape, igniting a scandal that results in his arrest. Sam appeals to an unscrupulous lawyer named Ken Bowden. Soon, a second victim, Suzie, comes forward, and Detective Duquette discovers that the unfolding case is far from what it seems.

Please note: SPOILER ALERT for the films Jason's Lyric and Queen and Slim.

This week's episode is about Jason's Lyric, a 1994 American erotic romantic drama film written by Bobby Smith Jr. and directed by Doug McHenry, who co-produced the film with George Jackson and Marilla Lane Ross. The film stars Allen Payne (Jason), Jada Pinkett-Smith (Lyric), Bokeem Woodbine (Josh, Jason’s brother), Anthony “Treach” Criss (Alonzo, Lyric’s brother), Eddie Griffin (Rat), Lahmard Tate (Ron), Lisa Nicole Carson (Marti), Forest Whitaker (Mad Dog/Jason's dad), and Suzanne Broderick (Gloria, Jason’s mom). Set in Third Ward, Houston, Texas, the film is a story about Jason who walks the straight and narrow, taking on the role of caretaker to his mother and especially his brother, Joshua. Real joy enters Jason's life when he meets Lyric. As their romance develops, Jason starts to see a future for himself. He has to choose between familial obligations to the detriment of his own happiness or a life with Lyric that can lead to happiness. He also must confront a painful secret from his past.

Today’s episode will cover the movie Cape Fear (1991), a remake of a 1962 film of the same name. Both films are based on the 1957 book, The Executioners, by John D. MacDonald.

Cape Fear is a 1991 American psychological thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese. It stars Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange, Joe Don Baker, Juliette Lewis, Robert Mitchum, and Gregory Peck. 

The film tells the story of a convicted rapist, who, mostly by using his newfound knowledge of the law and its numerous loopholes, seeks vengeance against a former public defender, whom he blames for his 14-year imprisonment because of the purposefully faulty defense tactics used during his trial.

What does it mean when you see a deceased loved one in your dream? What references are pulled from your memory to help illustrate your dreams? Often our mind uses objects, people, and places from our memory so we can make sense of what are dreams our telling us.
