Ep. 23 - Deathtrap/The Player
from The Midnight Matinee Hosted by Ben York
Today, the hosts find themselves in the deadly world of the entertainment industry and the even more deadly world...of murder! First up, Sidney Bruhl is a Broadway director with little success as of recent, until a former student gives him the perfect script. So good...he may need to kill him for it. Of course there’s always more complexity than that with this spiralling mystery thriller helmed by Sidney Lumet...1982’s Deathtrap! Next up, we travel to the hills of Hollywood where Tim Robbins plays Griffin Mill, a producer who’s rubbed more than his fair share of writers the wrong way. But now, he’s faced with constant threats from one of those writers of murder. Mills goes through a journey of guilt, paranoia, and fear all while being surrounded by the mechanical film industry in Robert Altman’s 1992 film The Player!
