“Children can be nasty, don't you think?” We watched the camp classic “The Bad Seed” from 1956 this week with Emily Ollero Jones from the podcast “Female Driven”, and what will you give us for a basket of kisses? Of all the bad-ass bitches in cinema history, there isn't anyone quite like Rhonda Penmark, played by Patty McCormick. Rotted to the core, Rhonda is a child serial killer and psychopath who manipulates all the adults around her.  We wouldn't have Damien Thorn from “The Omen”, Esther from “Orphan”, or Mac Culkin in “The Good Son” if it weren't for Patty McCormack's iconic performance. First published as a novel in 1954, to a Broadway play the same year, then this Mervyn LeRoy-directed movie in 1956, “The Bad Seed” shocked audiences with an ad campaign that promised to goop and gag its viewers. Oscar-nominating all three of its actresses who came from performing it on stage, “The Bad Seed” has some incredible performances by Nancy Kelly, Patty McCormack, and Eileen Heckart. We're here to tell you this movie still operates at a ten and doesn't let up for its over two-hour run time.  Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social   Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram Peterlasagna

This week, Les chats with Dan Lauria and Patty McCormack about the Off-Broadway premiere of Just Another Day, a play about wonderful old friends who may not even know each other, but who relive and celebrate a life together...maybe. In Just Another Day, a comedy writer and a sophisticated poet in their seventies meet daily on a park bench to exchange wits and barbs, and wax nostalgic about old movies, all the while trying to figure out how they know – and love – each other. At least for that day. Directed by Eric Krebs, the two-member cast is Dan Lauria, who also wrote the show, alongside Patty McCormack. Between them, Lauria and McCormack have over 100 years of live theatrical experience, as well as over 150 television shows and films. Dan Lauria has appeared as a guest star in over seventy television episodic programs and more than twenty Movie Of The Week productions plus a score of motion picture credits. Dan is a very familiar face to the off-off, off and regional theatre scene having performed, written or directed over 50 professional stage productions. Dan is most recognized as the Dad on the highly acclaimed, Emmy winning, ABC television show, “The Wonder Years.” Patty McCormack brings to her role more than seven decades of stage, screen and television appearances. From her Oscar and Golden Globe nominated performance in The Bad Seed to work in the Oscar and Golden Globe Nominated Frost/Nixon and The Master; starring in her own television series “Peck's Bad Girl” to creating memorable characters on television favorites from “Dallas” to the “The Soprano's”; and her extensive theatrical work beginning with a Broadway debut at the age of six in Touchstone starring Ossie Davis. Patty McCormack brings her diverse range of talent to every role she plays. We talk about writing, acting, their connection to live theater, and much more.

Eight year-old Rhoda Penmark is angry. Not because her father, a colonel, is heading off to Washington for four weeks. Not because her apartment building's janitor, LeRoy Jessup, is hovering a little too close for comfort. No, Rhoda's pissed because her classmate Claude Daigle has won the school's penmanship medal, and in Rhoda's mind, that just isn't fair. Meanwhile, Rhoda's doting mother, Christine, has begun to wonder whether Rhoda might be a little too interested in the medal, and when word comes that Claude has met a suspicious end at the school picnic, Christine's curiosity turns to worry. Is Rhoda really as sweet and innocent as she looks? Is LeRoy really just a mixed up fool who monologues on occasion? Or is something more nefarious afoot – something to do with heredity, with nature vs nurture, and a certain coincidence that takes place whenever Rhoda is in the vicinity of those she considers obstacles to her desires?

Da bambini siamo stati tutti cattivi e piagnucolosi e ben più di una volta, ammettiamolo. Ma non è niente in confronto alla malvagità di Rhoda, apparente angioletto dai capelli biondi e le treccine e dal sorriso gentile, ma crudele e calcolatrice come pochi, disposta a tutto per ottenere la "sua" medaglia. Mervyn LeRoy sciocca il pubblico, portando in scena forse il primo vero bambino cattivo del cinema, cui seguiranno molti altri esempi e bravissima la protagonista, Patty McCormack, che riesce a donare al suo personaggio un'inquietudine pazzesca, così come brava è Nancy Kelly nel ruolo di una madre divisa tra l'incrollabile amore per sua figlia e la propria coscienza, che le imporrebbe di fare ciò che è giusto.

The first adaptation was a play in the same year the book was published and starred Nancy Kelly (who won the Tony in 1955 for Best Actress,) Patty McCormack, and Eileen Heckert who would all go on to play their same parts in the film version in 1956.  The story of Rhoda Penmark, an eight-year-old child who just happens to possess murderous impulses, and her mother who may or may not be the “reason” she is a sociopath was a HUGE publishing hit and nominated for the National Book Award for Fiction.  Part of it was the psychology used to try and find out why Christine is so afraid of her daughter and why she feels responsible due to her own serial killer parent. (If it's not one thing, it's your mother!)   The film earned Kelly, Heckert, and McCormack Academy Award nominations for their performances and earned $4 million at the box office.

Diane Robin talks the time she got kicked off the Universal lot as a young actor, fighting for the career you want, working with legends, and the time another actor tried to psyche her out! About Diane Robin:Although often cast as a New Yorker, Diane Robin was born in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles. Her training began in high school, with a scholarship to the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute, and she was the youngest person to have been accepted into the adult program. Diane got a manager who convinced her to sneak on to the Universal lot, and personally hand deliver her picture and resumé to a casting director. She did, but was then thrown off the lot by a security guard. Telling the story of the fiasco to a complete stranger, he replied "I'm an agent and don't have anyone like you." She signed with him the next day, and has gone on to appear in over 120 television and film productions. Diane has worked with Academy Award-winning actors including Holly Hunter, Robin Williams, and Jeff Bridges. Some of the legendary directors with whom she has worked include Terry Gilliam, Peter Hyams, Chris Columbus, and Paul Verhoeven in Robocop, as Chandra in the infamous "bitches Leave " scene. She has guest starred on numerous TV shows including NCIS, Desperate Housewives, and MacGyver. She's also costarred in many Hallmark and Lifetime movies such as McBride, Mystery Woman and Annie's Point. She can be seen in Authors Anonymous with Kaley Cuoco, House of Deadly Secrets with Patty McCormack, and You Can't take My Daughter with Lyndsy Fonseca. One of her favorite roles is in Indie Award-winning comedy Dating Daisy playing the pushy endearing mother Eleanor. She is very excited about her acclaimed comedy web series Strange Therapy, in which she stars , and wrote which is now on Amazon Prime. Diane just completed filming the thriller Deadly Reunion, and will soon begin shooting The Sweepers in which she stars. She enjoys performing both drama and comedy, as reflected in her long list of credits on IMDB. Always happy on a set, Diane got a license plate so there would be no ambiguity about who she is and what she loves to do.

We watched The Bad Seed (1956) and it was a lot slower than I remembered it being but knowing it was a stage play first, it kind of makes sense.

Follow him and check out his website. https://youtu.be/fZt7gtFiVJk Synopsis The Bad Seed can be found for rent on Amazon, or anywhere you rent movies online. The Bad Seed is a story about a little girl, Rhoda Penmark (Patty McCormack) who may have been born bad, with no conscience, empathy, or soul.  Rhoda’s mom, Christine (Nancy Kelly) learns of a death at her daughter’s school picnic. The Daigle boy, who died, just happens to have been the same young man that beat little Rhoda at the penmanship competition. Rhoda seems unconcerned and even a bit peckish following the death of her classmate.  As the story unravels we learn about more and more mysterious deaths that seem to have occurred in Rhoda’s presence, and everyone gets more evil child than they bargained for. Review The Bad Seed was directed by Mervyn LeRoy and adapted from Maxwell Anderson’s play, which was adapted from William March’s book, all of the same name.  As a result, it feels a bit like a stageplay, which by today’s standards means that it feels a little fluffy in areas. At the core of the movie is a mystery of how Rhoda got to be this way, was she born evil, or did Christine and her husband raise her wrong? The movie preys on a parents innate fear of being unable to bring their child back from completely unacceptable behavior. The way The Bad Seed handles tension works quite well, even by today’s standards. The conversations about Rhoda and what is to be done with her continue to escalate the feeling of unease. Watch The Bad SeedWatch on AmazonBuy or Rent Now! This is a character driven movie, and all of the actors chewed up the set in their respective roles. From precocious Rhoda, to suspicious Leroy, and even Rhoda’s teacher, the characters and dialog are what make this movie very similar to a play. The Bad Seed is incredibly slow by today’s standards, and a lot of the dialog winds its way in and out of being useful or progression the story. One thing that everyone will agree on is Patty McCormack steals this show and sets the standard for one of the biggest tropes in horror movie history - the evil child. https://www.horrormovietalk.com/2018/10/31/halloween-1978-review/ Score 8/10 Get 20% Off + Free Shipping, with the code HMT at Manscaped.com Get 13% Off your order at NightChannels.com when you use code HMT at checkout.

Hell hath no fury like Mrs. Daigle trying to find out who took the penmanship medal in the campy killer kid classic "The Bad Seed." Eileen Heckart, Nancy Kelly, and Patty McCormack reprise their roles from the original Broadway production, earning all of three of them Oscar nominations, and deservedly so. (Even if Nancy Kelly does take scenery chewing to a new dimension.) Heckart is a quintessential BSA, turning two scenes and 10 minutes of screen time into an opera of grief, rage, regret and drunken despair, and leaving us wanting more.

1956's "The Bad Seed" is most well-known for being a pioneer of the "killer kid" horror sub-genre. But it also features three Oscar-nominated female performances--Patty McCormack as the pigtailed psycho Rhoda Penmark, the brilliant Eileen Heckart as drunk, grief-stricken Mrs. Daigle, and Nancy Kelly as Rhoda's poor suffering mother Christine. Kelly, who previously won the Tony in the original stage production, brings a Broadway-sized performance to the movie that is fascinating, over the top, and teeming with bold acting choices.

In our latest trawl through the camp end of horror we’re looking at The Bad Seed (1956). Patty McCormack plays pigtailed sociopath Rhoda Penmark, the perfect little girl who will do anything to get what she wants. Whilst showering her parents with a ‘basket of kisses’ she’s also murdering anyone who gets in her way. Almost impossibly camp and yet imbued with heart and terrific performances, The Bad Seed has to be seen to be believed, with a controversial ending that packs a mighty punch. Spoilers ahoy. If you haven’t seen The Bad Seed then you really need to question your life choices, then join us as three gay men aspire to be as fierce and fabulous as an 8 year old psychopath!

Can it be sixty years since little Patty McCormack starred in The Bad Seed and earned an Oscar nomination? You won’t believe it, either, when you listen to Leonard and Jessie chat with this delightful woman who has spent her life in show business. She even starred in an indie movie called Mommy as a psychopath whose daughter discovers she is a “bad seed” grown up!

“I thought I seen some mean little gals in my time, but you're the meanest." It's October, which means it's time for some scares! This year, we're celebrating with those lovable little children who just are downright bad. Our first film of the series gives us a young girl who turns out to be a malicious killer, but only because it's her way to get the things that she wants. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we kick off our Naughty Children series with Mervyn LeRoy's 1956 classic “The Bad Seed.” We talk about why this film works for us in all of its campy, over-the-top theatrical glory and how those elements may actually help make it more enjoyable today. We chat about the performances, notably Patty McCormack, Nancy Kelly, Henry Jones, Eileen Heckart and Evelyn Varden, and how well they worked for us, particularly Kelly and McCormack as mother and her murderous offspring. We discuss the Hays Code and how it influenced the filmmakers to change the ending, even if the ending ends up being almost more censorable. We touch on the script and the amount of subtext in the characters' dialogue, particularly the women who were always trying to live up to the 50s housewife standards. And we hit on the cinematography and music, noting how well the music works but how standard the cinematography feels. It's a fun film that may not be the top of our lists but is a very easy watch. Check it out then tune in!

A blend of the two? With Kurt Russell and his great big bushy beard? Yes, please!" Pete's Trailer: Experimenter — “I love that Stanley Milgram is getting film treatment, and Peter Sarsgaard seems to be just the guy to do it. So, I'm going to binge Ghostbusters, then watch this to get the full Milgram Experience."
