24 Panels Films(trips) Podcast
A new #FilmsTRIPS podcast is out! This time, Andrew and I take a look at the often overlooked '90s dark comedy, #TheLastSupper: https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/24panelspersecond/episodes/2024-02-26T15_25_17-08_00 #StaceyTitle #RonPerlman #CameronDiaz #CourtneyBVance #AnnabethGish #NoraDunn #BillPaxton
Episode 266: THE LAST SUPPER (1995)

Leaving Collateral (and with any luck, technical issues) behind them, Andrew and David decide to stop off for dinner, which is to say that they turn their attention to director Stacey Title's 1995 dark comedy The Last Supper. What do the duo make of the film which has a cast which includes Cameron Diaz, Courtney B. Vance, and Ron Perlman? How much has (and hasn't) changed with regards to political discourse in the 29 years since the film's release? And just how '90s is that soundtrack? Tune in and find out!Next Episode: To France we go!All music by Andrew Kannegiesser. Editing by Dave Babbitt.

First run syndication seems more dead than fallen... unless you like judge shows/talk shows/"Entertainment Tonight" clones/infomercials.

Ah, Limbaugh... a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient (thanks for nothing, Trump).

1995 would've been when the GOP regained control of both chambers of Congress via their "Contract with America" platform (bolstered by then-star Newt Gingrich).

You have a BA in film? Nice.

"The Last Supper" is on Tubi here in the US.

@dtgeek Double majored in English and film. All film history and theory, however.

Good to hear it is more widely available over there. A bit surprised it isn't available on Tubi in Canada: can't image the rights to this thing are split between different groups.

@24panels what the film's Tubi page looks like:

@dtgeek Figured it was around that time. Too late to be a direct influence on the film, but certainly the feeling it was coming must have been on the minds of the filmmakers.

@24panels they were harping on the "Contract with America" a lot during the election (basically a right-wing wish list the GOP wanted)...
