Dead Ringers (David Cronenberg 1988) w/ Ms. Sinclair (Talk Movie To Me Podcast)
Felicia is joined by Ms. Sinclair to discuss David Cronenberg’s psychological twin terror Dead Ringers (1988)
We chat about how the setting of Toronto plays a part in the story, and why the collaboration between Jeremy Irons and Cronenberg gave us one of the greatest dual performances on film.
Can you guess how many times I say Toronto in this episode?
