Episode 21: A Bucket Full of Wrong

from Xanadu Cinema Pleasure Dome · host Windy Bowlsby and Melissa Kaercher

  Actual photo of Windy, taken while recording this episode. This week, we are joined by erudite comedian Kelvin Hatle as we unravel our feelings about “probematic media”: movies and shows that are great except for that ooooooone super offensive part. We go a little long on this one and hit upon some not-very-nice subjects, so buckle up with a bottle of Penascal Temperanillo or The Gaucho Club Oak Cask Malbec… because we certainly did! If we make your blood pressure rise too much with this week’s episode, we apologize and offer How Animals Eat Their Food as a palliative measure. Show notes behind the cut! Movies mentioned: Breakfast at Tiffany’s They Died with Their Boots On De-Lovely Night and Day The General Birth of a Nation Song of the South Game of Thrones (TV) Cabin in the Sky Wonder Bar (which actually wasn’t pre-Hays, like we say on the show) Cole Black and the Sebben Dwarfs Showboat Porgy and Bess (stage) Peter Pan Annie Get Your Gun The Searchers Thoroughly Modern Millie You Only Live Twice From Russia with Love Marnie Miss Sadie Thompson Hunchback of Notre Dame The Descent Evil Dead Galaxy of Terror (a movie we discuss, but whose title we never actually mention) Repulsion Rosemary’s Baby Purple Rose of Cairo Zelig Hannah and Her Sisters Mighty Aphrodite Apocalypto Braveheart Passion of the Christ People mentioned: Audrey Hepburn George Peppard Errol Flynn Olivia de Havilland Kevin Kline Cary Grant Buster Keaton D.
