One of the most controversial films of all time. Banned in several states, and the United Kingdom! Vilified for it's visuals! Hated! Feared! Blamed for various catastrophes, and seen as a sign of the End Times! It's Tod Browning's Freaks, and it's this week's film. The story of a circus performer and a sideshow performer who fall in love and get married. Only the Aerialist wants to bump off her dwarf hubby so she and her boyfriend can live it up. When the rest of the performers find out, there's a terrible price the two of them will pay! Host Wyndham Jennings talks about the film's production, controversy around it's release, the wild life of it's director, and more in this week's episode. You owe it to yourself to listen in and discover why Freaks is a film you should watch. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/celluloidfeverdreams/support
