IFWT # 169 - Mask (1985) [ft. Michelle MacBride] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Photographer, visual artist and friend of the show Michelle MacBride, makes her debut appearance on In Film We Trust. We landed on Peter Bogdanovich's Mask to discuss. A true to life tale of Rocky Dennis, a young man afflicted by Lionitis - a disease that condemned him to an early death. But Bogdanovich's film - starrign Eric Stoltz, Cher and Sam Elliott - isn't some morbid tale. Instead it's a story of resilience, defiance, and life lived to the fullest, in what is arguably Bogdanovich's most c
IFWT #168 - Play Misty For Me (1971) [ft. Carmelita Valdez Mckoy] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
1971 was a pivotal year for megastar Clint Eastwood. Not only did it mark the first entry into the Dirty Harry franchise, and also the transgressive The Beguiled. It was also the year he would step behind the camera for the first time and direct Play Misty For Me - a story of obsession, frailty, mental illness and the then little explored notion of a 'stalker'. But where does his directorial film stand in the annals of history? It arguably is the precursor, and template for all erotic thrillers

Read excerpt
Writer Andrew Rihn, In Film We trust's go-to historian on all things boxing is back on the show. And this week he brings the podcast John Huston's 1972 existentialist boxing drama Fat City. Based on Leonard Gardner's novel, Fat City is an exploration of failed dreams, new beginnings, addiction and the cost of a life lived on the edge. But in the pantheon of Hollywood, Fat City, features new stars - Jeff Bridges, Stacy Keach, and stars-that-should-have-been, such as Susan Tyrrell, a Warhol Supers
IFWT #165 - Eaten Alive!(1980) [ft. Eugenio Ercolani] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's maybe no more maligned genre in horror - or even cinema itself - than the cannibal film that rose to prominence in 1970s Italy, most popularly exemplified by Ruggero Deodato's infamous Cannibal Holocaust. But right there in the mix, and arguably the genre's founder, was Umberto Lenzi with 1972's The Man From Deep River. Lenzi would have a contentious relationship with the genre - both hating it, but being brought back into the fold with 1980's Eaten Alive, due to financial incentives. .
