Show Notes
This week: two psychodramas about the world of sex work, each demented in distinct directions. Astrid discusses the subtext of Crimes of Passion while Sean is somehow still talking about irish television. Then we discover that Guilty Of Romance has much better politics than you'd expect from something one could plausibly describe as "a timid housewife's wild plunge into the world of sexwork...and murder!"
Crimes of Passion - 1984 - Ken Russell Guilty Of Romance - 2011 - Sion Sono
