Don't Answer The Phone (Episode 116) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky

Originally a screenplay titled Nightline, 1980's Don't Answer The Phone was shot under the title The Hollywood Strangler - perhaps a nod to director Robert Hammer's stated purpose to make a film exploring the proliferation of serial killers in the 1970's.  The eventual title was a bid to get the audiences that had made 1979's phone themed thriller When A Stranger Calls a success. Dan and Vicky discuss this notorious early eighties cheapie along with a bunch of recently seen including The Omen trilogy, Netflix's The Haunting of Bly Manor, this year's drive in success story The Wretched, Hitchcock's Topaz, 1973 oddity Fleshpot on 42nd Street and The Wicker Man.   BUT you must listen to hear the EXACT moment Dan and Vicky discover who won the 2020 presidential election!  It's right there, on the podcast, captured in the moment.  Biden/Harris 2020!!
