John Carpenter's Christine (w/ William Bibbiani)
from Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time · host Patrick Hamilton, Gena Radcliffe, William Bibbiani
It’s time to get behind the wheel with two Masters of Horror and one of the biggest baddies ever produced from Detroit, MI! That’s right, we’re talking JOHN CARPENTER’S CHRISTINE with critic and Critically Acclaimed Network podcaster, William Bibbiani!! It’s a pedal to the metal show as we go deep on Christine’s insane opening weekend competition in 1983, Stephen King’s embrace and eventual rejection of nostalgia, and how Christine is a vehicle for so many different interpretations!! We hope you’re ready to go for a trip because this extended conversation includes discussion of how oversexed the movie’s characters are, the horrors of friendship, dirty back braces, rejecting Kelly Preston, Uncle Steve’s Greaser Bullies, casting Killdeer, and learning the lessons of Shaking Hands With Danger!! All this, plus a revved-up edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we fondly remember Jim Henson’s Eraserhead Babies!! Take the trip with us today, people!!
