017 - The Hunger

Ladies and Gentlemen, Catherine Deneuve for Dracula! This week on the pod, Jake and Kevin are talking about 1983's The Hunger, the first film directed by Tony Scott. Catherine plays Miriam, a centuries-old vampire (more or less) accompanied by her thrall and lover, David Bowie's John. As the film progresses, John figuratively and literally fades from Miriam's love while hot young thing Sarah, Susan Sarandon, begins to take his place at Miriam's side. Is Roger Ebert wrong when in saying the only scene worth our time is a steamy encounter between Catherine and Susan? Do our different interpretations of Catherine's powers hold up? Is David Bowie's ass that flat? Join us as we sort of answer these questions! And OH GURRL the miniseries on Disney villains is back back back again! We dish the scalding hot tea on queen mother herself, Maleficent from Disney's Sleeping Beauty. This diva didn't get invited to a PARTY so she CURSES the king's only daughter for REVENGE. We say, that's fierce, witch.
