The Projection Booth

Special Guests: Sondra Locke, Larry Spiegel, David Worth

Guest Co-Host: Nicholas Schlegel

We discuss the events of October 10, 1975 captured in Peter Traynor's film, Death Game (AKA The Seducers AKA Mrs. Manning's Weekend), starring Sondra Locke, Colleen Camp, and Seymour Cassel. The film should serve to remind us that fate allows no man to insulate himself against the evil which pervades our society.

This episode features interviews with actress Sondra Locke, producer Larry Spiegel and cinematographer, editor, and the voice of George Manning, David Worth.

Mike is joined by Professor Nicholas Schlegel on this special episode to discuss the film as well as its progenitors, Kitten with a Whip and Little Miss Innocent as well as the 2015 remake from Eli Roth, Knock Knock.

Note: Per the Grindhouse Releasing Facebook page they are not releasing Death Game.

Oliver Stone's Salvador stars James Woods as fast-talking journalist Richard Boyle and James Belushi as his friend, Doctor Rock. It's kind of a "Fear and Loathing in Central America" with fewer drugs and more shooting of innocent bystanders.

Oliver Stone's Salvador stars James Woods as fast-talking journalist Richard Boyle and James Belushi as his friend, Doctor Rock. It’s kind of a "Fear and Loathing in Central America" with fewer drugs and more shooting of innocent bystanders. Despite being nominated for two academy awards, the film was not a box office success. Also it was overshadowed by another little film from Oliver Stone released the same year, Platoon. 

Joining Mike this week is Movie Geeks United's Jamey Duvall and the author of The Oliver Stone Experience, Matt Zoller Seitz.
