Episode 118: Jacques Tourneur

Director's Club

Happy Halloween everyone! Ever wondered the origin of the "jump scare?" Well, it has been documented as being in the director of this episode's classic masterpiece known as CAT PEOPLE! French film director known for the classic film noir Out of the Past and a series of low-budget horror films he made for RKO Studios, we're talking about another old-school master of the craft. Of course, with a filmography as vast and versatile as Jacques Tourneur's, I needed help. Well, I always need help and lots of it. Thankfully I employed the ghoulish intellect (?) from two excellent former guests and podcasters. Robert Reineke and Nat Almirall are back, live in-person to talk about a number of Tourneur's greatest hits including CAT PEOPLE, I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE, THE LEOPARD MAN, OUT OF THE PAST, STARS IN MY CROWN, THE FLAME AND THE ARROW, CURSE OF THE DEMON and more! 00:00 - 05:40 - Introduction 05:41 - 16:36 - Interesting Arthouse Fare We've Seen Recently 16:37 - 17:56 - Director Song 17:57 - 48:36 - CAT PEOPLE, I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE 48:37 - 01:13:42 - THE LEOPARD MAN, OUT OF THE PAST 01:13:43 - 01:33:19 - STARS IN MY CROWN, FLAME & THE ARROW, APPOINTMENT IN HONDURAS 01:33:20 - 01:45:29 - CURSE / NIGHT OF THE DEMON 01:45:30 - 01:56:06 - Top 3 Lists / Outro
