S1 E17: Donald Pleasence Does the Admin

We discuss that old stalwart: movies about movies! We chat about Kate Bush’s own personal Xanadu, Udo Kier’s blue eyes, and our fave Steve Buscemi lewk. In our first fanfic-themed pitch, we develop a 1970s horror film so good you’ll be almost inconsolable over the realization that it doesn’t exist. But there are so many Juzo Itami films available to stream right now that we’ll all make it through! Discussed in this episode: The Line, the Cross and the Curve Center Stage (1991) Ruan Lingyu Broken Embraces Arrebato Living in Oblivion Cigarette Burns Udo Kier Fade to Black Stories of Bastards: Born under a Bad Star Karen Black Donald Pleasence Fugue Agnieszka Smoczynska “How a Young Woman Lost Her Identity” (New Yorker article) Beyonce’s Homecoming Goodbye, Dragon Inn Pushover Juzo Itami Drop us a line at [email protected] or via Instagram @storyboredpodcast or Twitter @storybored_pod.
