Sordid Cinema Podcast #36: Director William Friedkin (`Killer Joe`,`Bug`)




Sound On Sight / Sordid Cinema show

Summary: Sound on Sight's misshapen relative Sordid Cinema is finally back with a new episode, and it's a doozy: William Friedkin, famed director of The Exorcist and The French Connection, has undergone a bit of career rehabilitation these past few years, thanks to his collaborations with playwright Tracy Letts. On this episode, Ricky D, Simon Howell and special guest Justin Li tackle their two cinematic encounters: Bug, which introduced the world to the errant ways of Michael Shannon, and the new Killer Joe, an NC-17 Southern-fried neo-noir graced with some truly debauched material.
