This week on The Cult Section, our hosts discuss Brian DePalma's 1974 portfolio of visual dazzlers "Phantom of the Paradise," starring William Finley, Paul Williams and Jessica Harper. It's another Very Special Benisode (TM) with a different Ben! Join the Seths and our special guest - verified cinephile, cult film aficianado, and A&B Video alum Ben Davis this week, as we throw ourselves into the murkey seas of cinematic strangeness after a near-fatal record pressing accident in search of validation and success - at any cost! We'll answer such questions as "what if a classic movie monster was reimagined as a weepy edgelord?" and "why use only one dark classic source text when you could roll in THREE?" Along the way, we'll expose some early Seth lore, question Randy Newman's motivations, and contrast golden outfits. It's one for the books - but is it one for The Section?
