Filmspotting #133: Marie Antoinette / Times of Harvey Milk / Top 5 Scary Moments

When Sophia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette" debuted at Cannes earlier this year, the audience reportedly responded with "lusty boos and smatterings of applause." Adam and Sam make no effort to re-create that scene on this week's show, but Coppola's New Wave-scored revisionist period film does force them to pick a side in the love it or hate it debate.

Plus, a spirited edition of Listener Feedback, Massacre Theatre, the final film in our Documentaries Marathon -- Robert Epstein's "The Times of Harvey Milk" -- and our special Halloween Top 5... Scary Moments.

Music by The Blue Jackets from the album "Shadow of the City."

NOTES/LINKS
- Charlotte Rampling is the actress from "The Verdict" and "Swimming Pool" ... and she's British, not French. Nice work, Adam.
- More nice work from Adam ... the 'Proposition 6' Senator from "Harvey Milk" is, in fact, John Briggs not Jim (as in our listener Jim Briggs from Concord, CA.
- Top 100 Scariest Movies according to the Chicago Film Critics Association (yes, that includes Adam)
- retroCRUSH: 100 Scariest Movie Moments
- Correction from our friend Kevin ... Donna and James weren't working on a school project at all when Bob appears in the Hayward living room. Apparently they were singing a song. I (Adam) remember this, but could have sworn they were at least supposed to be doing homework or something. In any event, it's Maddy who actually sees Bob.
