The Neon Demon & Crimes of Passion

It’s a sleazy, neon/cum drenched double feature today on the podcast as we dive into a pair of darkly comedic thrillers set in two very different LA worlds.

First up, it’s Ken Russell’s 1984 X-rated tale of sexual repression and desire in “Crimes of Passion,” starring Kathleen Turner as a fashion designer moonlighting as a sex worker by night and Anthony Perkins as the unhinged, perpetually sweaty reverend who wants to save her whorish soul from the life she’s chosen. After that, it’s the podcast return of Nicolas Winding Refn with his 2016 body horror satire on the world of high-end modeling, “The Neon Demon” starring Elle Fanning, Jena Malone and Keanu Reeves as a scummy motel operator who might also be a sex trafficker!

When did Elle Fanning eclipse her big sister? Can Keanu play a villain? Why didn’t Anthony Perkins get the post-Psycho career he deserved? Has Alessandro Nivola quietly become one of our best character actors? Is there anything better than hearing Anthony Perkins scream “Kill me, you worthless cunt!”? Join us for all these answers and more!
