Full disclosure, I almost let AI write the show notes again because no one likes doing this part. BUT a Russian listener called in and AI didn’t know what to make of that either. In fact, it printed something like, “Man explains unique dynamic of theater troupe,” which although technically true, doesn’t quite do anything about that moment justice. So yeah. We talk about Some Like It Hot. I (Doug) hadn’t ever seen it because of reasons. We then talk about the making of the movie, and the power struggles that created just enough pressure to produce a diamond. We also talk about the current Broadway production of the material. Devon spends most of this time being awesome. AI agrees. Anyway, if you’re feeling squirrely when the episode is finished, please visit whatever podcast host you listen to our show on and write us a little review. It would really help the show a whole lot, unless you hate it. Then forget I said anything.

In the interest of not burying the lead here, this is our very first Christmas Special featuring Devon’s brother, Cody Ramone! Also, Jesus called into the show to weigh in on Saturday Night Fever. Don’t get too excited though. He dodged all the important questions. But still, he didn’t call into anyone else’s community radio program this Christmas Eve. So put on your boogie woogie shoes and spend this holiday with Devon, Doug, Cody and Jesus!

This week, Devon and Doug talk about the 1944 film, Gaslight, starring Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer. The duo then silly their way around the movie’s influence of both art and psychology before absolutely perverting a few scenes they both loved and adored. Doug points out why the film shares direct DNA with the original Universal Monsters. Speaking of monsters, a new segment inspired by a mutual friend is introduced in this episode called “How Do We Sell This To Susan?” which is followed up by a caller named Phil from Apple Valley, where a recounting of “Gaslighting” is believed to have occurred.

In this episode, Doug Wortel and Devon Irby discuss the Italian film 'Cinema Paradiso,' directed by Giuseppe Tornatore. They explore the film's themes of childhood, nostalgia, and the impact of cinema on a small community in post-World War II Italy.

In the middle of this broadcast, however, Tito From Hyde Park called in and claimed that not only did he know the writer/director (known only by his alias “Joey Tornado” at the time) but he swears the film Cinema Paradiso is specifically about his life!

In this our first episode, Devon and Doug delve into the 1971 film 'Klute,' directed by Alan J. Pakula. They explore the film's themes of style, sex, and the complexities of human relationships through the character of Bree Daniels, played by Jane Fonda. The conversation highlights the film's unique cinematography, the detective's journey, and the portrayal of addiction and despair in the underbelly of New York City. We also tread cautiously while exploring the movie's haunting performances, particularly by Dorothy Tristan, and the significance of her character. The hosts also get into the film's iconic elements, such as the shag haircut, and the creative journey of Paul McGregor, who popularized it. The conversation also touches on Klute's lack of actual "detective skills" the disturbing violations of privacy depicted in the film, and the intense climax (heh) involving the antagonist. We also reflect on Jane Fonda's transition from actress to activist, highlighting the film's legacy and its reflection of the societal politics of the 1970s.
