@horrorqueers.bsky.socialSo finish that impromptu tooth extraction and destroy that chirping smoke alarm because we're going all in on this supremely disturbing film (though #WilliamFriedkin considers it a black comedy!). You'll hear us say it in the episode, but this is a great fucking movie.
@cinemashock.bsky.socialThis week, we begin our 3-part look into the making of THE FRENCH CONNECTION, and how a director on the verge of ruin turned a dry book into an Oscar-winning landmark.
THE FRENCH CONNECTION, Part 1: The Long Shot is out now wherever you listen.

Before the image of Max Von Sydow under the streetlamp became the defining image of THE EXORCIST, original ads centered on the surreal image of bedroom curtains blowing outward towards the street.
