In 1974, Brian de Palma hadn't yet made Carrie, Scarface, or the Untouchables. But he did make a version of Phantom of the Opera that merged fiction and current events alike into something a lot of people didn't quite know what to do with. So I'm going to get pretentious and talk about zeitgeist, post-modernism, and pastiche.Warning: Today's film (and to a lesser degree, the episode) contains elements of violence, sexual abuse, suicide, drugs, and other 70s excesses. I don't go into detail but they're mentioned. Reach out to me at my website, https://www.readaptedpodcast.com or at readaptedpodcast on gmail/instagram/facebook/tiktok or readaptedpod on twitter.
