The Dead Zone (1983) - Welcome to Cronenberg #6

We decide to look at a more recent film for our "Oh, Nurse!" month with this Netflix film based on real life events. The Crew discuss what was, what is, and what could have been done with this story. We also debate on what the film was trying to say and did it really need Eddie Redmayne and Jessica Chastain in it. We also go on a tangent about the Psycho remake.

​We end our month of Marlene Dietrich films with her last movie. A 1970s Period piece with David Bowie called "Just a Gigolo". The crew try to determine if this film is meant to be a drama or a comedy. We also try to figure out what exactly is the message here and just how much of the actual story was cut out of the U.S. Version (the version the Crew watched) We really fight to wrap our heads around this last film that is the last film appearance of Marlene Dietrich.  Kicking the Seat: ⁠⁠https://kickseat.com/⁠⁠

She doesn't have a starring role in this film but she does have a few scenes in a cameo role. I admit I just wanted a reason to discuss this dark noir film that is the subject of many film classes. The Crew take on "Touch of Evil". Find out if they believe it deserves its classic status. They talk about the wonderful technical aspects of the film and the possibly not so wonderful script or casting. IT is a great dive into this classic film.
