Bonus Episode -- Ipcar on ISHTAR
Listen now
Description
In a bonus episode this week Jenna Ipcar joins us once again to talk about her essay about Elaine May in Alicia Malone's new book on women filmmakers The Female Gaze. We decided to take a look at May's career and, in particular, her notorious 1987 box office flop ISHTAR, which is in fact a fantastic movie! Join us as we talk about women in Hollywood and why ISHTAR was so unfairly maligned to the point that the title became synonymous with "terrible." Also remember to check out Jenna's other film criticism at www.back-row.com and www.cinema-60.com.
