Episode 60: Identikit + Boom!
Episode description
This week we are celebrating the diva that was Elizabeth Taylor! Sakana joins us once again to celebrate the work of this prodigious star - with a close look at two of her most bizarre and off-kilter projects: the Italian psychosexual thriller, Identikit (1974), directed by Giuseppe Patroni Griffi, and Tennessee Williams' Boom! (1968), directed by Joseph Losey. Macrobiotic orgasms, bomb attacks on the streets of Rome, Richard Burton getting attacked by dogs and then sulking about not being fed enough, plus cameo appearances by Andy Warhol and Noël Coward. It's a wild ride, folks.
We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for Identikit by skipping ahead to the 1:25:00 mark, and for Boom! by skipping ahead to 2:08:02.
