Brian DePalma Month, Week 2 - The Fury (1977) with OOTim

About this episode

The episode features a discussion on Brian DePalma's film The Fury with guest OOTim, including comparisons to Carrie and a preview of next week's episode.

Episode 122 - Welcome back to DePalma month. This week we are joined by one of our old friends OOTim. If you enjoyed OOTim's analytical breakdown of Blade Runner, then you are sure to enjoy his breakdown of a less analyzed film; The Fury (1977). The Fury is DePalma's lesser known psychic supernatural thriller film that came out in the mid-1970's. The more well-known version of this would be Carrie (1976). We do have a supplemental style discussion of Carrie towards the end of this one, but do tune in for our explosive discussion of The Fury. And tune in next week for our discussion of Blow Out (1981) and the supplemental Snake Eyes (1998). You know how much we love Nick Cage here at MRAC so a discussion could pop up. We also may be joined by another special guest! email us at mracfilmclub@gmail.com
