See Hear Podcast Episode 83 - Black Snake Moan

We're sure you've all said or heard, “Don't judge a book by it's
cover”. That can logically be extended on occasion to “Don't judge
a film by its poster art”. Welcome to episode 83 of See Hear
Podcast. Tim is finally rejoining the show after having been absent
since October 2020. We welcomed him back with his choice of a
round-table film discussion. No interviews....just the “terrible
trio”. He picked a film by director Craig Brewer, whose earlier
film Hustle and Flow is part of See Hear lore (don't try looking
the episode up, it ain't there). If you look at the poster art you
will get the impression you're about to watch a sleazy tribute to
early 70s grindhouse cinema. The truth is a little more complex
than that. We advise you not to rage against the perception of what
it is, but to absorb what it REALLY is...let us be your guides.
Samuel L Jackson plays an ex-blues guitarist whose life is broken.
He discovers a battered Christina Ricci outside his farm – she's
also someone whose life is broken. Sam's character tries to heal
her though chains, religion and the blues. The film has its
detractors, but we believe it's more from THAT poster than the
content. Tune in as we talk about anxiety, Christina Ricci's knack
for acting in films where she's kidnapped, and dancing as
catharsis. There's also a Welcome Back Kotter reference
because....we had to. If you’ve been enjoying the show, please
