FEARLESS PRETENDER – EPISODE 10: “You Won’t Get Me To Scream” or “It’s Not A Sin If No One Sees It”
Description
This month, Sam and Jason welcome producer Heather Buckley (The Ranger, The Sacrifice Game,Blood and Flesh: The Reel Life and Ghastly Death of Al Adamson, amazing special features on the blu-rays you love for the past fifteen-plus years) to discuss the Paul Verhoeven film Flesh + Blood. It’s a wild and expansive discussion about the most violent and upsetting film ever named after a Roxy Music album that covers a lot of ground and fords some surreal technical issues.
Our guest Heather Buckley’s most recent production, The Sacrifice Game, streams on Shudder in North America next week.
