I hate christmas music so much

I was looking up this movie and found out the swedish title is "Klute - en smart snut" (a smart cop) I don't know why they decided to give a thriller a cute rhyming comedy title

Even Oddridge

I always lick the cat food spoon

Noblesse Oblahaj

"who's there" I say, before taking out a flashlight the size of my thumb and annihilating my stalker with a 10,000 lumen kamehameha blast

Somewhere out there are people who desperately want a creepy phone call and lose their minds when they hear the words "your car's extended warranty"

Going into this podcast, my only knowledge of this film was that when I was a teen in the 80s, I said I really wanted to see Clue. My father was horrified as he thought I was talking about Klute.

Every time y'all reference Aunty Donna my Australian heart grows 3 sizes ♥️

You just start tagging the not-totally-main-feed-related episodes with like…KJB Film Club because I do feel like I had a great time at a quite intelligent and thoughtful film club meeting!

Knights Who Say Sledge

Great link. I love that it came to zero consensus but floats basically every imaginable interpretation. I think we need input from folks who were sexually active adults at the time who were also engaging in more fringe scenes. I had the feeling from the post it was a lot of modern folks seeking modern definitions for something quite possibly tightly framed by time and context.

IN FABRIC IS A MARXIST NEO-GIALLO MOVIE ABOUT SINISTER LESBIANS it is 100% podcast appropriate

Andrew Dunn

I was just about to say, the fact that they didn't call it that makes me wonder if they were intentionally not invoking it and letting us fill in the blanks ourselves

BarFly

I think Devon would enjoy The Seven Ups

Jacob King

CP is common prostitute. It’s an old legal term. I think the implication is they arrested her for being a prostitute as opposed to engaging in an act of prostitution. So basic police harassment.

QuoProQuid

if you enjoyed fonda’s performance here, i would recommend “They Shoot Horses Don’t They?” which is not perfect but does have Fonda and her co-stars being put through hell and going absolutely ham

Cate Kneale

Thanks, I've been thinking about semiotics a lot lately...

Mr. Venom

That…might actually be a decent read.

Righteous Lazarus (Four Days Dead)

in the middle of november and devon making fun of the name john klute my mother pulled up a picture of mike rutherford (middle names john cloete - pronounced klute)

Jason Young

I've been meaning to watch this, it's on a few streaming sites.

Jon W

Imagining Devon and Nova on the mic with puppet strings to a sinister ghostly super sized Abby cackling madly.

Charlie Banwell

I was wondering who chose this, then I saw it was an 60s/70s psychosexual depressing movie featuring a glamorous actress and immediately assumed “November”

shadowcb

Always brace myself whenever I hear an actor attempt an Irish accent 😅

Jess Price

Here’s a thread of people discussing “button freak” between the years of 2006 and 2020 https://filmboards.com/t/Klute/A-'button-freak%3F'-1779441/

Brian Taulbee

He doesn’t get nearly the recognition he deserves. He’s been in some of the all-time greats, and has always been great in them. Platinum-tier guy I love to see.

Cate Kneale

Is she literally a kitten, is that what the cat food and the scruff of the neck holds are about? The 70s were so not a good time, except house prices and quaaludes, obviously.

Nirvana's replacement frontman

Devon and Nova's primary criticism of the film: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sFBhR4QcBtE

Roy Schider rec if you ever want more Roy, fuckin Bob Fosse directed All That Jazz, which is very much a quasi autobiography movie about Bob Fosse and maybe the most self loathing movie ever made. No one hates themselves like Bob Fosse, it is fucking UNREAL and roy fuckin kills it in the movie, he is so good

Jack

10 hours of silence randomly interrupted by a metal pipe smashing through your window and impaling your skull like a toothpick through a cheese cube on an hors d'oeuvre platter

Moon Walker

Really surprised it wasn’t mentioned that Candy Darling is in one scene of this movie

Alexander Baez Ubeira

This makes absolutely no sense, I'm sorry😅

Alexander Baez Ubeira

"Diabolik was in many ways Johnny Italian" [Under my breath] 'Johnny Ndemonic was right there' "We have reinstated the death penalty for hacking and Welsh marine life trafficking"...

Justine

Love the "Long Island Expressway" shoutout lol

Beatrix Bunny

4:40 Is that the irl pipe that kills you instantly?

BarFly

I saw Roy Scheider in a white jacket in the photo and didn't even register Jane Fonda or the title of the episode, my brain just went "Sorcerer (1977)? Sorcerer (1977) tonight queen?"
