Summary
In this edition of Weirdhouse Cinema, Rob and Joe discuss one of the great weird films of the 1930s: “Mad Love,” in which Peter Lorre gives a stellar performance as the deranged and tragic Dr. Gogol. It’s a film full of obsession, cutting-edge surgery, wax figures, delusion and knife-throwing.

| 0:05.4 | In this week's episode, my special guest is a massive media personality, Paris Hilton. |
| 0:11.1 | Shame is such a powerful, powerful thing. The shame shouldn't be on you, it should be on the |
| 0:16.1 | person that hurt you. And I've held onto so much shame my whole life because of other people |
| 0:21.9 | hurting me. Listen to on purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, |
| 0:27.9 | or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind, a production of iHeart |
| 0:35.7 | Radio. Hey, welcome to Weird House Cinema. My name is Rob Lam. And I am Joe McCormick and today |

| 1:35.1 | Proper before. I think maybe did it come up and talking about, I don't know, cutting off parts |
| 1:40.3 | of the body and retaining memories or I think it's come up a few times because I had never seen |
| 1:45.7 | the movie before, but I had seen the trailer for Mad Love and the trailer is just wonderful |
