Ep 42 - Strait-Jacket

Madness, axe-murder, & Joan Crawford! What more could you want?! This week we talk about one of scariest movies from Raquel's youth, STRAIT-JACKET. Raphael absolutely cannot understand how this film could have ever scared anyone, so mom has to put him in his place and contextualize it back to 1964. William Castle gets his due, as does the Grand Dame Crawford. Raquel finally admits to seeing the High Camp value of this movie as an adult. This is a movie unlike any we've covered before, and we had a total blast both talking about it and watching it.
