003 - The Medusa Touch

from Cinema Limbo Hosted by Podnose

Chris Arnsby returns to talk about The Medusa Touch, the 1978 supernatural thriller starring Richard Burton, with our discussion including the question of how little screen time a lead character can have, whether we agreed with the film's mass-murdering villain and we describe the most exciting book jacket we've ever seen.
