253 - Boom
Added 2025-09-01 03:08:55 +0000 UTCTim and Jen welcome Chris Person of the Aftermath website to discuss John Waters’s favorite film, Joseph Losey’s big swing at Tennessee William’s first flop, Boom!
We highly recommend the worker-owned and reader-supported Aftermath, especially this incredibly detailed and helpful article about specialized industrial cleaners (well, Jen really liked it). Listeners may also enjoy this conversation between Chris and friend of the show David J. Roth about archiving overlooked film and television.
Richard Burton gets candid about his upbringing in a coal-mining family in Wales in this Dick Cavett interview.

Oh yeah, Chris is great and we absolutely will have him back. Regarding the Golden Turkey book, I'm kinda tempted to track down a copy to see how shitty it is.

2025-10-02 20:19:49 +0000 UTCThanks so much for this episode. I heard about this by the same fucking Medved bros book you mentioned in the episode. God, but I had to unlearn so much after reading those books. Anyway, I was curious but I thought it might be too dull for me. I didn't know it was by the direction of Blaise, which is a movie I'm endlessly fascinated with. Definitely going to check it out. Thanks to your guest so much, you need to have him on again.
