Episode 151 - Flickers S Cavingham

We chose two movies from Mr. Sean S. Cunnigham for this episode, starting with 1982's A Stranger is Watching, from best selling author Mary Higgins Clark. Starring the late Rip Torn as a truly despicable monster who rapes and murders a woman in front of her young daughter at the very beginning of the film...this one is ROUGH! Though effectively tense, it felt slightly overlong, but it's impressive on many levels, most notably is Rip Torn's performance. Worth your time, but be warned that he is a REALLY bad man. We follow that up with 1985's revenge flick The New Kids, which features a bevy of great young actors including Lori Laughlin, Eric Stoltz and James Spader who is aggressively chewing up every bit of scenery he can as the dastardly Dutra. Packed with violence, and threats of violence, it is another rough ride but it has a heightened tone which helps to slightly smooth the edges. Send us your thoughts on the show and recommendations for future episodes to [email protected] or [email protected].
