Dan and Vicky tackle noir again with the classic Otto Preminger film Angel Face. The film was a very troubled production and our hosts give us a little background, with an assist from noir historian Eddie Muller's DVD commentary, on all the infighting, the jealousy and the on set violence that plagued the Jean Simmons, Robert Mitchum vehicle. Beyond the juicy back stage stuff, they show a lot of love for the film and tell us why the ending is one of the most shocking in movie history.
Before that though, they get a little serious talking about the mass shooting in Orlando and Vicky's recent health problems but lighten up when talking about their recently seen. Dan has thoughts on Phantom of the Paradise, The Conjuring 2, his Don't Look Now Blu-ray and Netflix's They Look Like People and Vicky expounds on the joys of The Lonely Island's Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, the spooky The Witch, Broadway's School of Rock and Mario Bava. They also have some choice words for actress Rebel Wilson and people who insist on using automatic weapons.
This 4th of July, Hot Date and Jean Simmons will set off their own fireworks! Listen and give us some feedback.
