In the Heat of Passion with Special Guest Sally Kirkland (Air Date 10/2/93)

Wow. This was very interesting to see! This was slightly before my viewing time (I would have been more 1994 and later) so this was very cool! I am always fascinated hearing how method actors get into their roles, so that was a nice bonus. This is someone who clearly loves her craft, and discussing it. Yes, I winced a little at Sally's gay comment, but then remembered this was 1993 and she likely would look at this now and wince. Just two years before this, I had a health teacher saying "Oh, the part in the literature I gave you about getting AIDS from a toilet seat was found to be not true, boys and girls" (I was 11 at the time), soooo, yeah. The times were the times.

I thought this felt a little cringy. I’m not good with scenes like this, I got embarrassed for JB. 😬

https://youtu.be/eQhVLTnj0U4 Interesting link I found on YouTube for this film. It's the complete double feature for this Drive-In Theater. In the Heat of Passion and Sexual response with the interview

I worked for Ashok on a movie once! Him & JB are homies!?! Haha, that’s awesome

WOW, holy moly, this interview is firing on all cylinders in ALL kinds of directions! Firstly Sally seems like she is kinda bananas & maybe not necessarily in a good way? Haha, either that or she was snorting some lines backstage (I’ve had my moments so I ain’t judging!) 2. Was really interesting hearing her breakdown the actors studio/ method acting stuff 3. I wouldn’t exactly call unbuttoning someone’s shirt flirting Sally haha, but u do u, or anyone she wants from what it seems! 4. Luv how they kinda almost got into a friendly but heated debate on wether her character was diabolical & Sally just couldn’t or didn’t want to see it 🤷🏻‍♂️ 5. Seems like Sally may be borderline homophobic w the couple comments she makes? Yikes! Haha (I get it, it was a diff time) Like gay ppl are the only ones that have aids lol & then there is that one cut to the close-up of JB where he looks at the camera after she makes another off color remark. JB looks like he wants to comment while also not wanting to go there, but that look said enough.

What a cool lady. Just the whole package.

Gruesome

How cool!! Sally Kirkland is amazing. She took full control over that interview. Love it!

JOE BOB NUDE SCENE! Diana, get Sally on the phone!

Sally Kirkland is the OG! I love her!!! Thanks for posting this one!

Wow, this is some good stuff! -Marty

Such a fascinating interview! Love hearing Sally talk about the feminism issues at that timing.

AFAIK, the movie never even got a DVD release. It's VHS-only, meaning you have to track a copy down or take a trek to certain parts of teh Innurwebz to find a copy somebody has uploaded.
