Episode 41: CARRIE (1976)

Brian De Palma is a legendary and divisive filmmaker. Stephen King is an even more legendary and divisive storyteller. These two careers came together in 1976 to make CARRIE, now considered a landmark of the horror genre and one of King's most successful screen adaptations. Have you ever wondered what two cishet male twenty-something podcasters who don't know De Palma from De Niro think of it? Well, now you can find out! Recorded mere minutes after watching the questionably feminist would-be creature feature, not-so-legendary but certainly divisive podcasters Harry and Jason attempt to reconcile our ambivalent feelings about how genre films exploit and/or utilize misogyny, examine whether King's story was aided or hindered by the film's pulpy sensibilities, and – as always – fail to let our ignorance stop us from serving up some hot, hot takes.
