Description

With the Watergate scandal and the worldwide recession continuing through 1974, you could blink and miss a true cult-classic from director Brian De Palma: Phantom of the Paradise. Composer Kagan Breitenbach joins us to talk about this underground rock-opera, how the music subtly highlights dark themes, and the many influences in pop culture that were clearly inspired by this film.

In our Patreon episode for premium listeners, we talk about Halloween Kills and its place in the Halloween franchise.
