Podcast appearances and mentions of rhoda penmark

Part 1 of 2! Rhoda Penmark is the perfect little angel. Or is she? 11-year-old Patty McCormack memorably brings on the freaky in her portrayal of everyone's favorite hot-tempered, sociopathic, golden-braided little twit long before The Brady Bunch's 'Cindy' turned the look into a sitcom punchline. Antonio of The Cultworthy Cinema, The Cultworthy Classic, and the MILF and Me Podcasts joins me for a look back at this film adaptation of the Broadway hit! Plus, the usual segments with the poll results, interactive trivia, and listener shout-outs!

I'm joined by my friend Esta Rosevear, who also happens to have been my high school theatre teacher, to discuss the 1956 classic THE BAD SEED. We also discuss life in the theatre, life as working entertainment critics, and mama's boys with snazzy penmanship.

Does this classic hold up and is Rhoda Penmark possibly one of horror's most creepy kids? Tune in to find out.                                                                                                                                                                                                  Join us next week to discuss Children of the Corn (1984) with returning guest Gbaby of Waxing the Porpoise PodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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?

Children can be nasty, don't you think? This week, Peaches and Michael are tying their braids as tight as a noose in celebration of 1956's THE BAD SEED! In addition to discussing horror's obsession with murderous youth, our hosts delve into the unique legacy Rhoda Penmark created for a generation of cinematic brats. Joining the conversation is Dr. Andrew Scahill, author of THE REVOLTING CHILD IN HORROR CINEMA: YOUTH REBELLION AND QUEER SPECTATORSHIP, who not only unpacks this movie's camp value, but also sheds light on the larger queer connotations of the silver screen's evil progeny. Then, BAD SEED super collector David P. stops by to share how this movie fueled his memorabilia addiction...and stays to reveal the gay content that didn't survive the transition from stage to screen. From Leroy's shoes to lightning strikes, this episode has it all! Go! 

Book Vs. Movie: The Bad Seed  The 1954 Novel Vs the1956 Film The Margos finish out the month of October with our final scary book & movie for the season--The Bad Seed. Written by William March and published in 1954 shortly before his death by a heart attack at the age of 60. 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. The ending changed dramatically from the original version to the film due to the Hays Code but it still delivers scares after all of these years.  So, between the novel and the movie--which did we prefer?  In this ep the Margos discuss: The life of writer William March How psychology was used blatantly in movies in the 1950s.  The main differences between the novel & film.  Starring: Nancy Kelly (Christine Penmark,) Patty McCormack (Rhoda Penmark,) Henry Jones (Leroy Jessup,) Eileen Heckert (Hortense Daigle,) Evelyn Varden (Monica Breedlove,) Willam Hopper (Kenneth Penmark,) and Paul Fix as Richard Bravo.  Clips used: Leroy taunts Rhoda The Bad Seed  trailer Rhoda burns Leroy Monica and crew talk about psychology and murder Christine talks about being adopted  Music by Alex North Book Vs.

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. This week I pick out a few choice meltdowns that are giving me that Toni Collette in "Hereditary" vibe I love. Get in touch with me!
