About this episode
This week Joshua and Drusilla watch the classic film by Frank Henenlotter's Frankenhooker . From Wikipedia: " Frankenhooker is a 1990 American black comedy horror film directed by Frank Henenlotter . Very loosely inspired by Mary Shelley 's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus , the film stars James Lorinz as medical school drop-out Jeffrey Franken and former Penthouse Pet Patty Mullen as the title character." But first! Josh goes to a horror legend's wedding, Drusilla attends a witchy book launch, and Drusilla watched Baz Luhrman's Elvis and Jack Be Nimble , a forgotten Alexis Arquette film that she loved. They briefly discuss the various Arquettes before Josh gets into Fast Times at Ridgemont High and full dong before going in on The Beaver Trilogy . Then they get into the feature and its troubled history. Both absolutely adore the film and have a history with it. They discuss some of Frank Henenlotter's other films. The movie has an innocence about it despite being transgressive. They discuss Louise Lasser and the brilliant performances of Patty Mullen and James Lorinz. Josh does a dramatic reading. Super crack does not go undiscussed, nor do the various MPAA issues. Then the duo plays Have You Seen It? Next week is a special episode. For the 25th show, Bloodhaus is doing its first double feature: Suspiria (1977) and Suspiria (2018).
