#11 In Cold Blood

from Better Than Speed · host Better Than Speed

It's no shame to have a dirty face, honey baby. The shame comes when you keep it dirty. Robert Blake makes short order of all the Charlie Potatoes who dare cross him in the Richard Brooks adaptation of In Cold Blood. We're joined by photographer and documentary filmmaker Jessica Schilling to track all the rain drops and beautifully lit silhouettes that haunt this relentlessly unsettling film. Want the raw deal straight from the source? Check out composer Quincy Jones spilling the beans on Michael Jackson, Ivanka Trump, and Marlon "Horny For Mailboxes" Brando in this remarkable Vulture interview. Next episode we'll be watching Fellini's first color film Juliet of the Spirits, and you can find it streaming at, you guessed it, FilmStruck. Hot tip: we're giving away a pristine vintage copy of a Fellini soundtrack on vinyl in an upcoming episode, so leave us an iTunes review and you'll be automatically entered to win.

We specialize in unpacking the nuances of what is considered sacred and profane, particularly focusing on sex, death, and all that pertains to the circle of life. Our aim in focusing on such ”taboo” subject matter is to demystify what is unconscious, bring to light what has been known for centuries as ”the occult,” and empower the rapid transformation that is occurring on the Planet. Explicit Chinook Realm Religion and crime collide when a gruesome murder rocks the isolated community of Chinook, Montana. Local Deputy Ruth Vogel thought she was answering a routine animal control call, only to find a mangled corpse on the frozen embankment. Her small town is whipped into a frenzy and everyone is quick to point their fingers at a drug-addicted teenager, but Ruth suspects connections to a powerful religious group. Enter Agent Loro, an enigmatic FBI investigator tracking an evangelical cult that may have roots right here in Chinook.
