284 - MISHIMA: A LIFE IN FOUR CHAPTERS (1985) + NAKED LUNCH (1991)
Added 2023-07-08 13:35:30 +0000 UTCHosts Josh and Jamie discuss intensely expressive, surreal biographical dramas about troubled, self-destructive mid-20th century authors whose real lives became one with their art and vice versa with a double feature of Paul Schrader's graceful, dreamlike, transcendent MISHIMA: A LIFE IN FOUR CHAPTERS (1985) and David Cronenberg's paranoid, counter-cultural, drug-addicted NAKED LUNCH (1991).
See you all in a week's time where we'll be back with a special guest talking about the maximalist action of Nic Cage in June 1997: CON AIR + FACE/OFF. Keep it sleazy!
Intro // 00:00-11:33
MISHIMA // 11:33-1:47:13
NAKED LUNCH // 1:47:13-3:05:29
Outro // 3:05:29-3:10:02
Correction: This double feature was nominated by our patreon Harrison Rees, not Miles. (But shoutout to both who each nominated MISHIMA in the last nomination poll.)

Criterion blu ray cover art for “Mishima” is so great (movie is a major banger too ofc) https://ibb.co/m9yvwh3
