Another Kind Of Distance: A Time Travel, Twin Peaks, Film, Doom Patrol And Nostalgia Podcast

In this very special Warners 1942 episode we discuss two Dave faves, both starring (and romantically pairing) Ann Sheridan and Ronald Reagan, that push against the restrictions of the Production Code: Sam Wood's Peyton Place/Twin Peaks forerunner, Kings Row, and Curtis Bernhardt's noirish agrarian socialist drama, Juke Girl. We dive deep into Kings Rows' Freud-and-Emerson-steeped advocacy of a less repressed and hypocritical society and Juke GIrl's utopic/dystopic vision of humanity. And in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, we have a very disparate group of films this week: Flowers of Shanghai (1998), One False Move (1992), and Brief Encounter (1945), which Elise compares to Jeanne Dielman (although - spoilers - Brief Encounter does have a happier ending).  Time Codes: 0h 00m 45s:      KINGS ROW [dir.
