A CLOCKWORK ORANGE & THE PARALLAX VIEW: Special Edition Quinnisode: Episode 107: You Eunuch Jelly Thou

World of Horror with Mom & Mac

Hey, Q-Balls!
We're back this week with a movie I swore I'd never watch again and a movie I have watched more times than I can count: A CLOCKWORK ORANGE & THE PARALLAX VIEW. We talk a whole lot about A CLOCKWORK ORANGE and I talk a little bit about THE PARALLAX VIEW.
After a long Christina & Quinn Chat wherein we discuss Quinn's birthday, favorite childhood authors, ouija boards, meditation, progress vs. perfection, midlife and quarter-life crises, feeling jealous of young, talented people, and the differences in our personalities, we do get into it (Skip to minute 23:53 if you want to get right to the movies).
Content Warning for A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. Violence including sexual violence.
There are two sexual assaults depicted in the movie and we talk about knowing your limits when it comes to content vs. condemning art if you bail on it.
We had a nice ramble about the plot, Malcolm MacDowell's face, Kubrick's calling cards and techniques, low-budget techniques used in the film, the design and costuming, and the many misuses of power demonstrated in the film.
Of course, we have lots of Trivia and Letterboxd goodness! Thanks, for listening, WoHos & Q-Balls!
Stuff we spoke about on the podcast:
Anne of Green Gables IS on Scribd.com. I'm downloading it now!
Paul Zindel's book WAS called The Undertaker's Gone Bananas (but is NOT on Scribd.com).
According to an Interview at The Washington Post, Joseph Heller said, "The way 'Catch-22' began is that I'd just turned 30, and one day I decided maybe I was ready to write a novel".

I couldn't find any specific artist who used mouths for eyes. Apparently, it is an Instagram filter. Who knew? I didn't.
A Clockwork Orange Glossary
Of course, I meant that obscure indie film by a guy named Quentin Tarantino? RESERVOIR DOGS. (Cue rolling eyeball emoji).
At time marker 1:50:13 (I KNOW!), I talk about THE PARALLAX VIEW, a film that, for me, has everything: Fantastic cinematography, political intrigue, a paranoid rage-filled, and down-on-his-luck investigative reporter with luxurious '70's hair, an assassination plot, an amazing cast including a glorified cameo by Paula Prentiss, shadows, surveillance/voyeurism, a homophobic small town sheriff, an awkward joke from a pretty woman, and connections (Get in touch and tell me how solid you think they are) to KILL LIST and A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. I hope you will give this f
