Still reeling from Frank & Eleanor Perry's THE SWIMMER (1968) at BFI last night: a ruthless, ravishing horror film about capitalism that sucks you in and and drags you under alongside Burt Lancaster's Ned, one of the boldest lead performances on film. Thank you @phuonghhle.com for a terrific intro.

Saw FRENZY for the first time at the BFI and this reverse tracking shot is one of the most viscerally upsetting sequences I've ever experienced in a cinema, like some kind of sickness crawling under my skin.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning critic joined us to discuss her reputation for being a hater and her brand-new collection of essays, "Authority."

In her incredibly entertaining autobiography, Rosalind Russell detailed how she fought for star billing in THE WOMEN over Norma Shearer's resistance. There's a happy ending, with a cameo from Ernst Lubitsch!
Film critic @phuonghhle.com joins @ranjitsruprai.bsky.social for ep 5 about actor, writer & filmmaker Robert Culp. We have a long chat about Culp’s career from theatre to television to cinema inc. the wonderful film BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE (1969) and his many wives inc. France Nuyen.
I have recently become quite obsessed with Michael Caine in THE IPCRESS FILE (1965) and Robert Donat in THE 39 STEPS (1935), two fantastic performances greatly enhanced by the medium of eye makeup.
I started THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO on Friday, am now 500 pages in and it's literally physically impossible to put it down. Every single chapter is gasp-inducing!!
ICYMI, our Robert Culp deep dive @ranjitrewinds.bsky.social goes sci-fi in our last two episodes, which focus on his work in the classic TV series THE OUTER LIMITS and other fascinating intergalactic adventures. Catch up here! shows.acast.com/ranjitrewinds
Film critic @phuonghhle.com joins host @ranjitsruprai.bsky.social for ep 3 of 5 about actor, writer & filmmaker Robert Culp. We move on to the classic sci-fi TV show The Outer Limits, delving into Culp’s performances. Oh, and did you know Peter Capaldi sang “Outér Limits” in his band The Dreamboys?
Host @ranjitsruprai.bsky.social is prepared to overlook Robert Culp’s villainous character in his favourite Columbo episode DOUBLE EXPOSURE so he can focus on the great fashion. Guest @phuonghhle.bsky.social reminds him of the double murder! First 2 episodes out now: shows.acast.com/ranjitrewinds
Film critic @phuonghhle.bsky.social joins host @ranjitsruprai.bsky.social for episode 2 of 5 about actor, writer & filmmaker Robert Culp. We continue our Columbo-obsessed chat + go in-depth on a later 90s episode as well as a “non-canonical” Mrs. Columbo episode, both guest starring Robert Culp.
