April 29, 1974

On this day 50 years ago KISS film their appearance for the Mike Douglas show which would air in syndication on May 21, 1974. Dr. Joyce Brothers also appeared on the show and of course so did Totie Fields. KISS performed “Firehouse” and Gene Simmons was interviewed “in character”, which was a little bizarre.

What do you think of the interview segment?

The 60's yet again? Of course, I have to mention The Beatles then. They are the epitome of the period, because they hold their sway over the latter. I mean, they can still release another single – one member's demo repurposed into their own piece – and sell like crazy. Still, one has to notice something about them, which keeps getting forgotten – they allowed themselves to be weird. Don't laugh here, many don't do something in the vein as they achieve such levels of fame. For instance, one of their most famous songs – check the link – might be a warning about nostalgia, yet the piece sounds like they keep pulling your leg to be more observant of what they try to achieve. Are they mocking the theme or making the latter more prominent? Why not both?

269 - Eyes Wide Shut

Listeners have been asking for this episode for years and today, Santa is bringing it to you! Happy Holidays, it's time for Eyes Wide Shut! In 1999, the film was hotly anticipated for many reasons: it starred Hollywood's most famous couple, it was the final film of master of masters Stanley Kubrick, its very long production was hounded by the press, and it promised lots of onscreen sex. Adapted from Arthur Schnitzler's Traumnovelle, the film cast Tom Cruise as a doctor who goes on an odyssey of sexual obsession after his wife (a haunting Nicole Kidman) confesses to an unrequited sexual fantasy about a stranger. A ritual orgy, Todd Field playing jazz piano, and a flirty Alan Cumming followed, and baffled audiences reacted viciously.

This episode, we discuss the film's initial negative reaction from audiences and critics alike and its contemporary reassessment. We also talk about its formative place in Kidman's emphasis on auteurs, how the film unpacks Cruise's screen persona, and the film's mystery box marketing.

Topics also include Sidney Pollack barechested in suspenders, the film's censored orgy, and the Blockbuster Entertainment Awards.
