Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 817: Pink Flamingos (1972) and Cecil B. Demented (2000)
Q: How do you see Cecil B. Demented as a progression from Pink Flamingos?
The guest notes that Cecil B. Demented preserves Waters' core sensibilities while engaging with a higher budget and a more explicit attack on mainstream Hollywood, showing Waters' continued ability to fuse subversive humor with sharp industry critique.
Episode 817: Pink Flamingos (1972) and Cecil B. Demented (2000)
Q: What drew you to Pink Flamingos as a subject for this episode?
The guest observes that Pink Flamingos embodies transgression, radical politics, and a heartfelt love for its freakish cast, which makes it a foundational Waters film that still feels vital and affectionate toward its subjects.
Episode 820: Dragon's Heaven (1988) and Steamboy (2004)
Q: What drives your interest in pairing Dragon's Heaven with Steamboy?
The pairing is driven by a shared thread of artists pushing the medium forward—Kobayashi's experimental, model-focused approach in Dragon's Heaven and Otomo's ambition to scale Steamboy into a cinematic, global showcase—while also highlighting their common struggles with narrative cohesion under heavy production pressures.
Episode 804: Hunger (1966) and Terror of Frankenstein (1977)
Q: What are your opinions on Per Oscarsson's performances?
He is fascinating; it's hard to tell where the actor ends and where the role begins as he shifts quickly between emotions.
Episode 804: Hunger (1966) and Terror of Frankenstein (1977)
Q: What inspired your selection of these films?
It started with a train ride through Germany where I saw a sign for Frankenstein.
