(Pt. 2) I, Tonya / To Die For (1995)
from The Next Picture Show · host Filmspotting
Like Gus Van Sant’s TO DIE FOR, Craig Gillespie’s new I, TONYA takes a light, playful tone with a lot of ugly events, an approach that’s earned it acclaim and some criticism, particularly for its treatment of domestic violence. We talk over our reactions to that and the rest of I, TONYA, then dive into the many connections between these two films, from their portrayals of a scandal-hungry media to their depictions of ambitious women in bad marriages to their conspicuous use of attention-getting music. Then we wrap up by sharing our individual picks for the top 5 films of 2017.Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about TO DIE FOR, I, TONYA, or both by sending an email to [email protected], or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

What this episode covers
True-life stories rarely come with the bold, satirical edge that the new Tonya Harding biopic does. Just one thing it shares with Van Sant's "To Die For."
