Uncrossing the Controversy Surrounding ‘Basic Instinct’ [Halloweenies Podcast]

It’s the ’90s. Hollywood stars are hotter than ever, particularly Michael Douglas. The Oscar-winning producer and actor is in search of his next chapter after owning the latter half of the ’80s. He’s found it in a new erotic thriller from scribe Joe Eszterhas (Flashdance, Jagged Edge) and filmmaker Paul Verhoeven (RoboCop, Total Recall). Together, they grab a chair in a low-lit sweat box of male testosterone with sex on the mind and money to make.

The film? Basic Instinct. The twist? Sharon Stone runs away with it.

For the latest installment of this season’s Randy’s Recs, which finds the Halloweenies dissecting a film that inspired the Scream franchise, the gang heads to San Francisco to try and solve a string of murderers. Make no mistake, these are grisly crimes, sure, but they’re also familiar, especially for readers of crime novelist Catherine Tramell. It would appear the blood beyond the yellow tape matches what anyone can find in any one of her books.

Sound familiar? If Scream 3 comes to mind, you’re not alone. Join the Halloweenies as they discuss the smutty film’s curious parallels to Wes Craven’s meta franchise, the myriad controversies that surrounded the 1992 thriller, the behind-the-scenes chaos that would go on to fuel the film, the sexual fluidity (or lack thereof) of Douglas, and the blockbuster sex appeal of Sharon Stone. Special guest includes Bloody Disgusting‘s own Meagan Navarro!

So, light up a cigarette, hide your icepick, and join the gang now via iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS.

The Top 10 Streaming Scary Movies of Today (According to Netflix)

Given that Netflix really is the master of their own data, how many times a viewer streams The Ridiculous 6, or what films don't get watched all the way straight through, or how many times someone watches an episode of Bill Nye Saves the World, it was easy for them to come up with the list based on just one percentage: 70 percent.
