Thoroughbreds (2017) + Perfect Blue (1997) = Getting Rid of Your Step-Dad in a Satoshi Kon Way
Episode recorded: July 19th, 2025 (07/19/2025)
Meredith Nudo is back along with another rotating co-host Alex Beige. We are going to discuss Cory Finley's directorial feature debut Thoroughbreds (2017) and how it is compatible with the overall style of, as Meredith argues, Satoshi Kon's psychological thriller classic Perfect Blue (1997). We're also discussing the challenges of adapting plays into feature films (with Alex Beige, the actual playwright, giving their two cents onto this subject), the filmography of Brian De Palma, the use of ambiguities in movies, and Jay's own ideas of animated adaptation of theatrical plays. And we still miss the late Anton Yelchin.
And also, check out the play Let. Her. Rip..
Movies that we will be (mostly) discussing:
Into and Outro music: Scorpions sting by Celeste3
https://celest3.bandcamp.com/track/scorpions-sting
And please help her out: https://ko-fi.com/pupceleste
If you have questions, suggestions, or interested to be on the show, let Jay know: [email protected]
