This week on Remainders we continue De Palma Days and talk about 1984 film Body Double. Possibly De Palma’s most Hitchcockian film, it’s the story of a man caught in between voyeurism and murder – essential Hitchcock tropes. We discuss its horror and pornographic elements, De Palma’s use of over-the-top acting and direction style, lead actor Craig Wasson’s effectiveness as the lead, Melanie Griffith’s introduction to Hollywood, and where it stands in De Palma’s filmography.Other topics include Air and the Affleck brothers, Renfield, a legendary encounter with the great Leslie Nielson, the legitimacy of TMZ and CNN, the Twilight Zone, Stuart Gordon, monster movies and creature features, 80s special effects, and whether James Cameron brought Dee Dee Ramone pizza.Songs of the WeekDown About It by The LemonheadsAnything Could Happen by The CleanRemainders Podcast Jukebox WebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter
