<description>Abel Ferrara shocked the exploitation world with his feminist statement Ms. .45 (1981). Starring the incomparable Zoe Lund as a mute, submissive fashion designer in New York City, Ms. .45 exposes the everyday experience of women as a slugfest of misogyny and non-stop harassment. Lund’s role as Thana is critical in understanding the female experience, and why when she’s had enough, she’s ready to give something back to the male world that dominated her.

38.11 The Best Needle Drops

<description>What else can you say but that the man was great. He was great with Jane Fonda. He was great with Faye Dunaway. He was great with Debra Winger and Demi Moore. He was even great with guys like Sidney Poitier and of course his long friendship with Paul Newman. Dave bowed out this time, but Luke showed up to do a back-to-back recordings and this is our tribute to a great actor whom we will miss on the silver screen.

38.10 The Redfordcast

<description>Hey, folks, things got a bit serious in the States lately. We’ve had a spate of assassinations and assassination attempts the past few years. Trump’s been shot at twice. He's been hit once. Josh Shapiro’s governor’s mansion was burnt down. Melissa and Mark Hortman were murdered in their home. And of course Charlie Kirk was murdered just a few weeks ago. Political assassinations are not new in this country.  Medgar Evers was killed in 1963, kicking off a spate of assassinations in the 1960’s that included among others: a President, a Senator, a governor, and two Civil Rights advocates. This violent atmosphere is trouble, absolute trouble for our country. But it sure does inspire outstanding art. Since the 60’s we’ve seen an astounding number of films addressing political murder in an effort to understand and convey the hopes and fears of our national polity. I asked Luke to come in the Hacienda and discuss assassination cinema and why we’re so fascinated by it.

38.9 Assassination Cinema

<description>Luke fled, as Will Patton said in the Fishbourne movie. Wren stayed to list praises and grievances with the MCU, specifically the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. The conversation is a keen eye into the target demographic of the Disney / Marvel Studios franchise, as GenZ continues to dominate cinema pop culture as they age into maturity. Join Wren and I we sift through the Multiverse of TV Madness and Cinema Goodness.
