One of my oldest, dearest, smartest and coolest friends, yet somehow the second person in her household to be a guest, the very talented writer and PUBLISHED AUTHOR Willow Catelyn Maclay (Corpses, Fools and Monsters: The History and Future of Transness in Cinema) joins the show this week to discuss Wes Craven's sweaty airplane thriller RED EYE.
We discuss Craven's relief in making a quick, clean potboiler after his nightmarish odyssey filming the werewolf trash CURSED, heap loads of praise on stars Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy, and discuss the charming effectiveness of the film's increasingly ludicrous machinations. including its craziest of all: asking us to be emotionally invested in the continued well-being of the head of Homeland Security.
We also have fun discussing the greatness of Eddie Kingston, an unexpected Survivor connection, a demented reality-show murder case, and the inexplicable success of the Denver Broncos.
We had SO much fun as I knew we would, I am so thrilled to finally have Willow on the show and I can't wait to have her back. ALSO BUY HER AMAZING BOOK, which is linked below!
