Cinephile, Mr. Peele's Sardine Liqueur blogger, and Captive on the Carousel of Time Substack author Peter Avellino returns to the podcast to cover one of the most under-discussed eras in brilliant filmmaker Brian De Palma's career. In addition to touching on his favorite recurring themes and biggest highs and lows throughout his filmography, we zero in on his fascinatingly varied '90s and early '00s output in the films RAISING CAIN, SNAKE EYES, FEMME FATALE, & more. It's the perfect topic for Peter Avellino, who actually "played" De Palma's voice on the podcast back in Season 4, Episode 31, when Megan Abbott, Alison Gaylin, and I covered the filmographer's earlier pictures.Originally Posted on Patreon (11/7/26) here: https://www.patreon.com/FilmIntuition/posts/174670477Donate to the Pod via Ko-fi & PayPal Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive

Beginning with Tony Scott's DAYS OF THUNDER, we dive into the wilds of Ron Howard's FAR & AWAY, and wrap it up with their strongest picture together, Stanley Kubrick's EYES WIDE SHUT.
