Alice, Sweet Alice

These are great movies.

These are movies that shaped America, all right? number three alice sweet alice um i watched this movie a long time ago when i was younger and i remember not liking it thinking it was boring and slow and um this and that but the way that this movie is anti-religious and the places that this film goes with that fucking murder in the church and

then lighting her body up and then them yeah being like somebody having a barbecue It's a pretty nasty film.

It's a...

six-year-old girl on fire in a church pew that was choked and suffocated honor communion wow honor verse communion

it is very anti-religious

um it had three names before it it was originally named communion and then it was then later retitled alice sweet alice and then later um re-advertised as holy terror um and who's the actor in this that everybody loves that Brooke Shields is...

Brooke Shields gets...

And I think about Alice,

Sweet Alice, and I enjoyed Alice, Sweet Alice a lot more than I enjoyed this.

That's my

favorite of the series so far.

I think Alice, Sweet Alice, followed by American Gigolo so far are my favorites.

Yeah.

And I definitely gave American Gigolo my formato.

So I would agree with you, Bill.

This feels like the lead contender, especially if you think about, you know, we did Alice Sweet Alice together.

And while that was a very strong Italian or American giallo, I do think this takes it even another level.

Yeah, this incorporates so many bits and elements of you've got like the police, you know, investigating the murders who are also kind of romantically involved with the heroin.

I was like, okay, since New Year's Eve, I consider like when I think of the color palette for New Year's Eve, I always think of like chrome, silver, black.

And then I was like, okay, when I found the clear raincoat and then the chrome mask, I was like, so that's kind of where I also drew some inspiration from Alice, Sweet Alice, but then like obviously to make it the color palette of New Year's.

And the raincoat serves double purpose, right? I mean, it's fashionable, but it's also, you know.

Kept them dry

It's bad.

And then I just got Alice Sweet Alice on 4K.

So I watched that.

Yeah, I'm just like very distracted.

I'm Kevin.

And today we are continuing our discussion about a very Catholic American giallo, Alice Sweet Alice.

This is a podcast about the films condemned or considered morally offensive by the Catholic Church.

We both grew up Catholic, and now we are not, for reasons, but we are still fascinated by the religion that raised us.

Cool.

Good to hear it.

And we are about to start part two of our episode on Alice Sweet Alice.

Yep, we're back again.
