Episode 593: The Hunger (1983)

We conclude #Shocktober 2022 with a look at Tony Scott’s The Hunger. Based on the book by Whitley Strieber, the film stars Catherine Deneuve as Miriam, a being that’s lived thousands of years. When we meet her, her companion John (David Bowie) has been with her for a few hundred years and suddenly starts to age. There’s maybe one person in the world that might be able to help. Dr. Sarah Roberts (Susan Sarandon). She won’t save John but she’ll definitely spend a little time with Miriam…Christine Makepeace and Kat Ellinger join Mike to discuss the film. Interviews include author Whitley Strieber and screenwriter Michael Thomas.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth
