Description

We're throwing back to the romances of classic horror with a look at Jacques Tourneur's 1942 classic Cat People, about a woman who turns into, well, a cat. 

Join in as we discuss producer Val Lewton's horror unit at RKO, the film's complicated ideas about sexuality, and the validity of a zookeeper's prophecies. 

Plus: Is any of the movie's Serbian history worth listening to? How were Cat People and other Lewton films responding to the better-known Universal monster movies? And, most importantly, are working women the true villains of the movie?
