BillHOST
I think that's why Dressed to Kill, I was kind of on board with Jess, your take, and our guest take, Ava's take on the movie.
BillHOST
Because I just think that that's one where it's, it's hard to watch now.
BillHOST
The way-
BillHOST
I think this movie has problematic elements that we need to talk about.
BillHOST
I think the craft, i-...
BillHOST
Uh, for one, the craft is in a lot of ways better in this movie than in Dressed to Kill.
BillHOST
Somebody might come at me for that one.

Happy birthday to former WCW World Heavyweight Champion, David Arquette.
Henrique CoutoHOST
Born on September 11th, 1940, is Brian De Palma, director of Carrie, Sisters, The Fury, Dressed to Kill, and Body Double.
Henrique CoutoHOST
That doesn't even scratch the surface of how many classics the guy's directed.
Henrique CoutoHOST
He turned split screens and voyeurism into a weapon aimed squarely at the audience.
Dillon MooreHOST
She loved him.
Dillon MooreHOST
Dressed to Kill, she talked about.
Dillon MooreHOST
And I always found his movies really creepy.
Dillon MooreHOST

Shane McAvoyGUEST
if you see her in Dressed to Kill, she's much more like...
Shane McAvoyGUEST
Really? Yeah.
Jason BaileyHOST

Jason BaileyHOST
Keith Gordon, the go-to avatar for 70s auteurs, apparently, because he's playing young Brian De Palma in, is it, no, which one, is it Dressed to Kill? Dressed to Kill, yeah.
Jason BaileyHOST
his burlesque past, which is pretty explicitly recreated in this, how much that informs his whole, not just his whole aesthetic, his whole deal, his whole sort of simultaneous eroticism and repulsion and all of those factors really are built kind of into that little five minute segment of the movie.
Jason BaileyHOST
Where do you, how do I even put this? What do we take away? What do we think Fosse's feelings were about sex, about sex on screen, and the way in which sex is presented throughout the filmography?
Scott JohnsonHOST
I mean color.
Scott JohnsonHOST
And he's in, at the time, Dressed to Kill is so freaking funny, dude.
Scott JohnsonHOST
I recommend that to just about anybody I've ever met.
Scott JohnsonHOST
If you want to see some great stand-up that's just a little different than what you're used to, Dressed to Kill is incredible.

Michael A. CohenHOST
But there's two set pieces in that in that film that are amazing.
Michael A. CohenHOST
The opening boxing scenes at a casino and then an overhead shot that he does, you know, a movie like Dressed to Kill, which is a film that, again, the plot is absurd.
Michael A. CohenHOST
And it doesn't make a lot of sense.
Michael A. CohenHOST
But the art, the museum scene with Angie Dickinson is just a bravura set piece.
Phil IscoveHOST
Blowout is a masterpiece like Blowout is one of those movies that I also it was a big blind spot for me until a few years ago and I just bought the Criterion just on it and I was like fuck it I gotta watch this thing and then I was like I get it now I
