Summary

Wipe that sherry off your tit and dust off those human husks in your attic because we're discussing Tony Scott's feature directorial debut: the 1983 lesbian vampire (and David Bowie!) movie The Hunger! Joining us for the conversation is Jess, one half of The Spinsters of Horror! We aren't saying the word "vampire" (something something Egypt and aliens?), but who could care when the movie is such a vibe? We'll refute the claims of "style over substance," while marveling over the central performances of Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve. Plus, David Bowie in old age makeup, making cigarettes look sexy, debating the male gaze and a lesson in serial monogamy and codependency. Reference: -Deborah Michel.
