 In April of 1958, police were called to the home of actress Lana Turner.  Her boyfriend, Johnny Stompanato, had been fatally stabbed.  Lana’s 14 year old daughter, Cheryl Crane, confessed to the killing, and claimed she was protecting her mother.  A court decided that Stomponato’s death was justifiable homicide.  However, not everyone accepted the ruling as truth.  In this episode we will discuss Turner’s rise to fame in the late 1930’s and 40’s, her turbulent personal life, and her complicated relationship with her daughter.

Welcome to (perhaps) the largest Extra Milestone yet! In an Anyway, That’s All I Got reunion for the ages, I’m joined by Anthony Battaglia, Guy Simons Jr., and Jason Read to discuss three of the biggest epics of the 21st century! First up is Barry Lyndon, the passion project of Stanley Kubrick released in 1975, and a film that’s quite well-loved among hardcore cinephiles. After that, we circle back to Spartacus, an earlier Kubrick film that is rarely discussed in the context of his filmography, and perhaps for just reason! Finally, we jump forward to another one of the great directors with Ran, Akira Kurosawa’s massive and operatic masterpiece from 1985, and which only one of us had seen!

SHOW NOTES:

• 00:05:54 – Barry Lyndon
• 01:06:33 – Spartacus
• 01:48:21 – Ran

HOSTED BY: Sam Noland, Anthony Battaglia, Guy Simons Jr., and Jason Read

MUSIC IN THIS EPISODE: Music from Barry Lyndon composed by Georg Friedrich Händel and performed by The Gold Rush Studio Orchestra, music from Ran composed by Tóru Takemitsu

Guy Simons Jr. (of Anyway, That's All I Got fame) joins me for the first time on Extra Milestone for a special Halloween episode devoted to two of the greatest serial killer movies of all time! Kicking off our conversation is Alfred Hitchcock's game-changing masterpiece Psycho, including the unique and revolutionary distribution of the film, the ways in which it insidiously sets itself apart from every other movie, whether or not it should be considered a 'slasher,' and more! After that, we jump forward to David Fincher's haunting detective thriller Se7en, a movie which one of us had somehow never seen until now! We also discuss the film's somewhat troubled legacy, the ways in which it has infiltrated the internet consciousness, and even some valuable insight on whether or not it should be viewed as an optimistic film!

SHOW NOTES:

• 00:04:05 – Psycho
• 01:01:35 – Se7en

MUSIC IN THIS EPISODE: "Prelude" by Bernard Herrman, "Closer (Precursor)" by Nine Inch Nails, trailers for Psycho and Se7en

CINEMAHOLICS IN THIS EPISODE: Sam Noland and Guy Simons Jr.

NEXT WEEK: Will Ashton returns to Extra Milestone to discuss three unique auteur projects from the end of the 20th Century: David Lynch's The Elephant Man, Martin Scorsese's After Hours, and Abbas Kiarostami's Close-Up!

Psycho. Morris and Rick talk Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 classic Psycho. Did we have a split opinion on this film, or did we both go mad with excitement... because we all go a little mad sometimes.
