#348 - Brian DePalma's Carrie - WatchThis W/RickRamos

<p><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>"It Was Bad, Mama. They Laughed at Me. Hold Me, Mama. Please Hold Me" .  . . The Lasting Legacy of Brian DePalma's <em>Carrie</em></strong></span></p> <p>On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos, Ibrahim & I swing back to a classic of the Horror Genre, Brian DePalma's 1976 masterpiece of Suspense, Revenge, and Terror, <em><strong>Carrie</strong></em>. With a "Who's Who" of 1970's first-time talent including: Nancy Allen, Amy Irving, William Katt, P.J. Soles, and John Travolta, but the heart, soul, and pain of this film lays in the performance of (Oscar-nominated) Sissy Spacek. Spacek's scenes with Piper Laurie (her screen mother) are incredibly moving, adding to an already powerful depiction of bullying, teenage angst, and religious fundamentalism. </p> <p>It's great to return to a classic. Take a listen as Ibrahim & I continue our exploration of the Horror Genre. </p> <p>Questions, Comments, Complaints, & Suggestions can be directed to <a href= "mailto:gondoramos@yahoo.com">gondoramos@yahoo.com</a>.
