Movie Meltdown - Episode 184
This week we are “live” at Fright Night Film Fest / FandomFest (and
Christine's bedroom), as we sit down with actress, writer,
director
Christine Elise McCarthy
and talk about her career and her short film
Bathing and the Single Girl.
She has an amazing list of credits, from
Child’s Play 2
to Abel Ferrara’s
Body Snatchers.
From starring on
Beverly Hills 90210
and
ER
to
China Beach
and
In the Heat of the Night.
Christine has worked on some terrific projects over the years, and
we talk about her work as well as the craziness of being in the
public eye. Plus Director
Miles
Miller also joins us to tell us about his short film
Pillow.
And then everyone sticks around as
we head into this week's
Sofa Theater
feature - the infamous
Man Bites Dog.
And while ducking the maid doing our room check... we also
mention... THE Black Leather hat, Zero Killed, naked French people,
Facebook, rival fan club, Modern Family, perspective changes, being
a serial killer,
Ritalin,
narcissism, drunk driving in the 70's, Network, murder fantasies,
Behind the Mask, Natural Born Killers, Cops, the remake of Man
Bites Dog?, Funny Games, unintentional art, Henry: Portrait of a
Serial Killer, A League of their Own, Oliver Stone, Guy Debord,
Irreversible, being chased around by teenage girls, Tim Curry,
Waterfront Film Festival, Jason Priestley, Hamlet and TV dinners,
the sun doesn’t rise in the North, Tom Hanks, mirage of
complications, going to film school, boots with spurs, Hard Copy,
rabid teenage girls, crying into my Hungry Man dinner, and
the difference between comedy and tragedy.
“How can I get involved in the film industry with no skills and no
talent and no training? I guess I’ll be an actor.”
