Description: On this week’s episode, we unmask Brian De Palma’s 1974 answer to the rock opera, Phantom of The Paradise. We discuss the origins of Daft Punk’s helmets, the coinky-dink of the band Phoenix’s name with Jessica Harper’s protagonist, Martin Amis’ run-in with the genre bad boy himself, and the film’s overall incalculable influence on French Touch.
