Heart of Midnight (Season 2) American Trash and National Treasures

Season two of Window Dressing: American Trash and National Treasures begins with the 1988 film Heart of Midnight. In this season I will discuss the women of American culture and cultural products that are either revered or reviled. I will put Lisa Rinna and Norma Shearer at the same level and give films like Vertigo and this episode's Heart of Midnight the same weight. As usual, every component of this podcast is created by me with love and genuine admiration for film and television and the women who make it matter. This week that woman is Jennifer Jason Leigh as Carol playing opposite Peter Coyote as Larry Sharpe. Trigger warning for this episode, rape, porn, and brutality run rampant in this film and my discussion of it.
