About

We discuss that old stalwart: movies about movies! We chat about Kate Bush’s own personal Xanadu, Udo Kier’s blue eyes, and our fave Steve Buscemi lewk. In our first fanfic-themed pitch, we develop a 1970s horror film so good you’ll be almost inconsolable over the realization that it doesn’t exist. But there are so many Juzo Itami films available to stream right now that we’ll all make it through!Discussed in this episode:The Line, the Cross and the CurveCenter Stage (1991)Ruan LingyuBroken EmbracesArrebatoLiving in Oblivion Cigarette BurnsUdo KierFade to BlackStories of Bastards: Born under a Bad StarKaren BlackDonald PleasenceFugueAgnieszka Smoczynska“How a Young Woman Lost Her Identity” (New Yorker article)Beyonce’s HomecomingGoodbye, Dragon InnPushoverJuzo ItamiDrop us a line at storyboredpod@gmail.com or via Instagram @storyboredpodcast or Twitter @storybored_pod.
