We chat about his stamp on horror and how the genre has evolved over the decades.

Felicia is joined by Joey Gantner to discuss the effects of lust on a man in Fritz Lang’s Human Desire (1954).

We chat about how the women in his film are more than your typical film noir femme fatale, and why it helps to separate this work from the other Grahame and Ford pairing.

This is the last episode in the Lang series, it always feels like a task to tackle a huge director but a fun task nonetheless. My guests and I wanted to pick some of his slightly lesser known films to show the range and depth of his work, and we hope you feel inspired to dig a big deeper into his catalogue.

We chat about what led Lang to finally make his first talkie, and how he allows the audience to use their imagination in full by not showing the violence on screen.

This is the series opener and Fritz Lang is a director I have wanted to discuss on the show for a long time. I mainly focused on his career in America and I wanted to discuss the slightly lesser known films to show his great range.
