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

Our 1942 RKO episode is a very special one, with films by two of the studio's outstanding auteurs, writer-producer-director Orson Welles, and B-horror unit producer Val Lewton. First, we look at Orson Welles' mutilated (some even say "emasculated"!) masterpiece, The Magnificent Ambersons, exploring the movie's extraordinary characters and performances and giving our opinion of the ending imposed by the studio. Then we turn to Val Lewton's first production for RKO's horror unit, Cat People, grappling with its metaphors and digging into its unusual love triangle. And then, in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, we discuss an adjacent film, Bell, Book and Candle, in which Kim Novak's slinky witch falls for normo Jimmy Stewart - but with a very different outcome. Join us as we look at some very lonely people who make some very bad decisions!    Time Codes: 0h 00m 45s:      THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS [dir. Orson Welles] 0h 38m 57s:      CAT PEOPLE [dir.
