Episode 67: Dead Ringers (1988)

This week! The writers’ strike is a week in and Josh is feeling it. The AMPTPA is full of evil-doers, the WGA rules, and AI can’t write a good CSI: Miami. Drusilla watched Norma Rae, Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Cycle, and Mike Leigh’s Mean Time. Josh watched And Then the Darkness. Also discussed: Life is Sweet, Legend of Hell House, The Vanishing. The TWINS sequel that got squashed, Danny DeVito was almost in Conan the Destroyer, Coma, House of Yes, Sid & Nancy, Christiane F., Sweet Valley High, American Psycho, Valley of the Dolls, Mia Goth, Pearl, Infinity Pool, Alexander Skarsgard, She-Devil.

And, of course, all things Cronenberg. From wiki: “Dead Ringers is a 1988 psychological thriller film starring Jeremy Irons in a dual role as identical twin gynecologists. David Cronenberg directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Norman Snider. Their script was based on the lives of Stewart and Cyril Marcus and on the novel Twins by Bari Wood and Jack Geasland, a "highly fictionalized" version of the Marcuses' story.”
