EP. 288 — Imitation Of Life
Paul & Amy reflect on Douglas Sirk’s piercing 1959 melodrama Imitation Of Life! They learn what made this epochal film a favorite of Steven Spielberg’s, discuss what Sirk has to say about race in America, and ask what this slyly satirical blockbuster has in common with Starship Troopers. Plus: The murder that nearly overshadowed the film’s release.
