De Palmcast Episode 03 - Blow Out

Good morning, Epic Film Fans, and welcome to a slightly delayed episode in our ongoing series celebrating the career of one of our greatest living filmmakers, Brian De Palma! In this installment of De Palmcast, Justin and LoySauce take a look at one of his best, the pulse-pounding 1981 thriller BLOW OUT, as they discuss its many inspirations both cinematic and real-life; the central performances by John Travolta and Nancy Allen; and where it fits in De Palma's oeuvre. Thank you so much for listening, and we'll see you at the movies!
