Hidey-Ho, friends! This week, we're choppin it up about the 1997 film, Eve's Bayou. Pull up & tune in as we dive into this southern gothic flick & more! A big thanks to our Patreon supporters for picking this title!
During a hot Louisiana summer, Eve learns the picture perfect image her family shows for the world is deeply flawed. This week, Courtney joins the show to talk about her favorite movie and we discuss how the movie is also a coming of age story but also one with no objective storyteller. She thinks more people should watch Disney Plus's "WandaVision" and "Hannibal" streaming on Hulu. To relax, she watches "Craig of the Creek" on Cartoon Network, streaming on the aforementioned streamer and HBO Max. Follow us on Instagram and on Twitter.
This week's horror pick: Eve's Bayou (1997). Our hosts, Mary Kay, Rachel, and Mary answer questions like: Why on earth would you marry someone whose previous bajillion spouses have died? Why are none of these adults capable of having an appropriate conversation with a child? So ... did Sam Jackson do it or nah? __ SHOW INFORMATION Instagram: @EverythingTryingToKillYou Twitter: @horrorshowgirls Facebook Page: @EverythingTryingToKillYou Facebook Group: @EverythingTryingToKillYouGroup Email: EverythingTryingtoKillYou@gmail.com Merch Store: TeePublic Subscribe: Apple Podcasts Subscribe: Spotify Want to support our show?

What has drama, voodoo, ghosts, murder, and a powerhouse cast? "Eve's Bayou!" Not necessarily a traditional horror film, but there's lots of suspense in this gothic thriller. Featuring an all Black cast and directed/written by Kasi Lemmons, we always love giving this film a watch. We can't think of a better way to honor Black History Month than with a review of this classic.

Brian and I are huge supporters of greater minority and female representation in the horror industry, which is why we were so excited to make that our featured theme for this episode. But first, in our FIRST CHOP, Tim plays with the TOYS OF TERROR and Brian continues his journey into TAKING SHAPE II! Then we have a wonderful interview with filmmaker and creator of two fantastic horror websites, CINDY SANABRIA! Cindy runs the HORROR TOUR GUIDE and WOMEN OF COLOR IN HORROR websites, and talks to us about what she's doing to advance the support and recognition of women of color in the horror field. We'll then turn our attention to a film that speaks more to real-life horrors than supernatural ones. EVE'S BAYOU was Roger Ebert's favorite movie of 1997, and we're certain its haunting themes and powerhouse performances will make it one of your favorites as well. While it falls mostly outside of the horror genre, we felt this striking film by a wonderful African-American female director showcased what is possible when we introduce more diversity into filmmaking. All this, a beer pairing, Triple Threat Trivia, and a new listener question are in store, as Season 5 of CIVIL GORE continues!

Closing out our Kung Fu-bruary series for 2019 (which was picked by you, the listeners!), tonight's movie is Five Deadly Venoms (a.k.a. The Five Venoms)! And while I am genuinely a little sad that this series is over for now (don't worry...I'm sure we are going to discuss more kung fu movies in the future!), we are wrapping things up with another one of Chang Cheh's iconic kung fu films! While there might actually be less fighting in Five Deadly Venoms than there was in the other films we have reviewed this month, the character driven plot and the focus on the five individual fighting styles makes each fight feel unique and draws you in closer to each of the characters! So, join The Gargyle and The Chimerican as we discuss why we love Five Deadly Venoms as much as we do!! Since February is both Black History Month as well as Women in Horror Month, each episode in our Kung Fu-bruary series will start with segments honoring African Americans in cinema, as well as women in horror. For tonight's episode, we honor Eve's Bayou and Get Out in our segment on Black History Month. For Women in Horror Month, we honor Raw and Jennifer's Body. Also, as we've done on the last few episodes, we continue to highlight the Chattanooga Film Festival - April 11-14. There have not been any major announcements regarding CFF since our last episode. However, on the CFF Facebook page, they have been highlighting some CFF BFFs, including Brian Lonano (creator of BFF Girls and Gwilliam). So, we give a shout out to some of our CFF BFFs, Graham Skipper, Matt Mercer, and Kevin Sluder!! We love you guys and cannot thank the Chattanooga Film Festival enough for being the catalyst in our friendship!! And, as we have mentioned before, that is one of the things that we love so much about CFF...it gives you the opportunity to meet the people involved with making the films you see at the fest, as well as getting to know other cinephiles who are just as passionate about film as you are!!

(Editor's Note: This episode of Daytime Confidential featuring Victoria Rowell (ex-Drucilla Winters, The Young and the Restless) was set to air as our special 300th episode, however after completing the interview, we realized we couldn't sit on it. Download now to find out why!) From her unforgettable debut in 1990 as Drucilla Barber the street smart niece of Mamie, the Abbott maid, on The Young and the Restless, through today as a world-recognized advocate for foster children and a New York Times Best Selling author, few actresses in the history of daytime television have made the kind of impact of Victoria Rowell. Who better then than Rowell to help Daytime Confidential celebrate our 300th episode? Rowell speaks to Luke and Jamey from Atlanta, GA, where she is busy doing press for her hugely successful memoir The Women Who Raised Me, as well as writing her juicy first novel–Secrets of a Soap Opera Diva. Rowell talks about the experience of being out on the road for the past 17 months "pressing flesh" with the droves of fans who have adored watching her on the big (Distinguished Gentlemen, Eve's Bayou) and small screen (Y&R, Diagnosis Murder) for the past 25 years. She talks passionately about her work with foster children, via the foundation she started almost 20 years ago, the Rowell Foster Children's Positive Plan (RFCPP). She elaborates on how her other passion–ballet–helped her to carve a niche for herself in the world as a 17-year-old girl, fresh from the foster care system and why the RFCPP strongly utilizes the arts to teach its students discipline. Rowell then provides a revealing and sometimes shocking glimpse into her time on The Young and the Restless, where she rose to fame as the insurmountable Dru. She remembers how it felt to work with the legendary Bill Bell, whom she shares she was as "thick as thieves" with. She tells how the daytime pioneer allowed her to help shape many storylines for the Barber-Winters family over the years, including Dru's ballet storyline and the Congressionally-recognized foster care storyline which helped win Bryton McClure (Devon) the Emmy and how that spirit of collaboration and trust died with Bell. She reveals how it feels to have never won the Emmy herself (she was nominated twice and boasts 11 NAACP Image Award) and why she feels a "gang mentality" exists among much of the cast of daytime's number one show in terms of Emmy voting. She tells how on set popularity is measured above actual talent when it comes to making the all-important list of pre-nominees. Rowell goes on to respond to remarks made by former Y&R costar Peter Bergman (Jack Abbott) in an interview with TV Guide Canada's Nelson Branco. Rowell reveals just why she feels Bergman is absolutely right, she wasn't "playing with a full deck", but not in terms of her sanity, in terms of onset equality. She talks about what it was like working opposite Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Newman) and why an onset violation resulted in Sony Pictures Studios (which co-owns the CBS soap with Bell Dramatic Serial Company) having to get involved to facilitate an apology. She answers a Daytime Confidential reader's question about why Lily (Christel Khalil) doesn't seem to have her mother's spirit and responds to questions about when and if she will ever return to Y&R. It's only fitting that this, our 300th episode, is Daytime Confidential's most revealing, poignant, jaw-dropping, interview ever.
