Movie Mindset 13 - You’re All FREAKS!!!: Disease, Death and Vincent Price feat. Theda Hammel
Added 2023-10-11 11:00:04 +0000 UTCWill & Hesse are joined by Nymphowars’ Theda Hammel to discuss two horror films from 1964 starring the legend Vincent Price: Sidney Salkow’s “The Last Man on Earth” & Roger Corman’s “The Masque of the Red Death”. Both deal with the end of the world in their own way and highlight Price’s unique combination of campiness and dramatic heft for both comedic and horrifying effects.

2024-06-09 02:40:19 +0000 UTCYet more reasons to love Vincent Price: his son V.B. Price was/is a much-beloved presence in the New Mexico journalism and letters scene, having written a column for Albuquerque's less-reactionary daily paper for decades, along with a lot of other writing. Seems like a truly great dude. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V._B._Price

2023-10-16 16:58:36 +0000 UTCThanks for doing this run of episodes—it’s been a much needed and enjoyable diversion so far

2023-10-16 06:31:42 +0000 UTCWill has a very literary way of speaking that gives his retellings a real sense of narrative movement. His insights give the viewer a kind of syllabus to study the film on their own, but under guidance. It’s that style that makes the chapo reading series so good: you feeling like you’re picking on the author with him.

2023-10-15 05:21:34 +0000 UTCI feel like there's too much sublimation at work with Spielberg. The IRL sickos can only purge the bile by really doing it. Talentlessness kills.
Jason Matthews
2023-10-15 02:43:47 +0000 UTCWill has become my favorite movie reviewer. His enthusiasm for such a wide variety of movie genres is so infectious. Hesse is great in the podcast too but Will is the one who really makes me want to watch some of these movies
Jimmy McMillan
2023-10-15 00:20:37 +0000 UTCPoltergeist also has a somewhat sexual style mom who gets raped by a ghost in her underwear. Spielberg has to be a sicko right? Is his death going to be a Jimmy Savile situation where it turns out he had the temple of doom under his house?

2023-10-14 13:56:06 +0000 UTCJane Asher was also in The Stone Tape, written by Quatermass author Nigel Kneal, well worth a watch if you havent already seen it.

2023-10-14 13:41:48 +0000 UTCTheatre of Blood, and of course Dr Phibes are wonderful late Vincent vehicles. They feel post-Targets, chastened, with decline as their primary subject. The London of Theatre is viscerally clammy, rain slicked, derelict and mouldy, almost in the vein of Ramsey Campbell.
Jason Matthews
2023-10-14 06:04:15 +0000 UTCyes let us not rush to erase the chaotic bi due to different times!
Shivvy
2023-10-14 01:12:17 +0000 UTCAll 3 of you give great Vincent, I’m living for it. My takeaway (besides more bright red blood) is probably Will’s observation, “they were having fun in the 60s”
Shivvy
2023-10-14 01:11:19 +0000 UTCHesse: “This movie is CRAZY!”

2023-10-13 16:01:50 +0000 UTCSo, the last man on earth is just staying positive in the apocalypse with worse production values
William
2023-10-13 15:57:27 +0000 UTCJust occurred to me that Hal Hartley would be a great ep for a future movie mindset (non horror albeit)
Tim Holland
2023-10-13 01:06:07 +0000 UTCHe started out in mainstream movies like the film noir “Laura” and the Western “The Baron of Arizona”

2023-10-12 22:09:05 +0000 UTCwhen will busted that out 💀
Dennis
2023-10-12 20:33:45 +0000 UTCInteresting story about Price was Dennis Hopper first meeting him at Martha’s Vineyard in the early’60’s and being impressed by the sizable Modern Art collection he had and apparently sparking Hopper’s interest in collecting
Zach H.
2023-10-12 18:20:39 +0000 UTCI'd appreciate a new Patreon tier that's just Will and Hesse talking in their Vincent Price voices
Tim O'
2023-10-12 18:16:26 +0000 UTCPrice had three wives and two children so I reckon he was a classic chaotic bisexual and probably would’ve married a few dudes in-between wives if he’d had the chance, reminds me of when I found out that Baz Lurhmann is married to a woman and has two children it makes no sense and yet…
Adam Foster
2023-10-12 17:00:14 +0000 UTCGreat episode! If anyone wants more of Vincent Price camping it up in a series of fancy outfits I highly recommend Theater of Blood. Price plays a much maligned actor who takes revenge on his critics by killing them in Shakespeare themed death traps.
Andrew McClure
2023-10-12 15:25:19 +0000 UTCI appreciate the standard chapo news coverage but also at the current fever pitch really appreciate this pause. Also hesse referencing “choke on it” reminded me of Matt referencing that in one of his most recent eps 🥺❤️🩹

Owen
2023-10-12 02:56:24 +0000 UTCRichard Mattheson is such a kickass writer. He turned out genre defining work but never reached the notoriety of Poe, Lovecraft, Jackson, and King though he certainly earned it. One of the best to ever do it and modern horror owes him so much. Dead heat between Poe and Jackson for best American horror writer but without Mattheson the genre from the midcentury on wouldn’t be what it is. Necessary dude. If anyone hasn’t read him, you should. You *will* find something cool.

2023-10-11 23:42:25 +0000 UTCWill, did you really not enjoy Midnight Mass? I appreciate a lot of what you pick, but calling that boring while touting a movie where Vincent Price narrates his shopping for an hour? Love you, do not understand you.

2023-10-11 20:39:17 +0000 UTCDid we do the Black and White or In-Color "Last Man On Earth (1964)? I'm not starting the episode till I see it to avoid spoils
Dustin Nelson
2023-10-11 20:38:56 +0000 UTCNo, sorry, never going to do that.

2023-10-11 12:24:48 +0000 UTCthank you for mentioning vincent price's dramatic heft in the description. campy was his flavor but that motherfucker can act.

2023-10-11 12:13:28 +0000 UTCVincent Price flouncing around the ballroom in anguish as he’s surrounded by red-dead hands is an all-timer scene
