We kick off our regular Pride series for 2025 with a camp classic that was embraced by gay audiences almost immediately upon release. Warner Brothers brought together two legends of Hollywood, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, introduced the world to Victor Buono, and put it all under the careful, deliberate direction of Hollywood iconoclast, Robert Aldrich for a movie that spawned a cultural obsession with movies about older ladies losing their god damn minds. It's the psycho-biddy, hagsploitation nightmare of What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?We'll explore what it is about this movie that was so immediately appealing to gay audiences of the 1960's and beyond. We'll talk about the simmering, mostly made-up feud between Joan Crawford and Bette Davis and Crawford's petty, bizarre stunt at the 35th Academy Awards as payback for the perceived slight of Bette Davis getting all the attention. And we'll break it all down in our usual fashion to tell you exactly why this movie is so god damn good and why it persists in the world's imagination as we celebrate Pride all month long with a series highlight and celebrate queer film and filmmakers.Join the Bring Me The Axe Discord: https://discord.gg/snkxuxzJSupport Bring Me The Axe! on Patreon: https://patreon.com/bringmetheaxepodBuy Bring Me The Axe merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/bring-me-the-axe-podcast/

RMR 0286: Special Guest, DJ Bryant, joins your hosts, Chad Robinson, and Russell Guest for the Retro Movie Roundtable as they revisit What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962) [PG-13] Genre: Horror, Mystery, Thriller Starring: Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Victor Buono, Wesley Addy, Julie Allred, Anne Barton, Marjorie Bennett, Bert Freed, Anna Lee, Maidie Norman, Dave Willock, William Aldrich, Russ Conway, Maxine Cooper, Robert Cornthwaite, Gina Gillespie, Director: Robert Aldrich Recorded on 2024-09-21
Send us a textWhat Ever Happened To Baby Jane?TGTPTU Season 13's 4x4 continues with the second half of its first Robert Aldrich pairing, WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? (1962). Like last week's entry, WEH2BJ is another black-and-white film adaptation of a novel, this one truer to the source material, at least to cohost Thomas who read Henry Farrell's 1960 novel of the same title (in other words no changing out a briefcase of drugs for a nuclear weapon or the star of your book series an unlikeable asshole as had happened in Aldrich's adaptation of Kiss Me Deadly). Outside minor changes in date and storytelling, both novel and film follow the story of the two sisters in their autumn years: Jane Hudson, a child actress of stage fame whose star dimmed well before her sister Blanche Hudson's movie career was on its meteoric (to keep with astronomical idioms) ascent until a car accident with a drunk Jane driving left Blanche in a wheelchair and in her sister's care. While acrimonious, their relationship turns horrific when reruns of Blanche's films lead to fan mail and her sottish sister Jane to exact a lifetime's worth of revenge on her housebound sibling. Yet the meta story of the film separates it inexorably from its source material as Aldrich casts, and to his credit completes a film, with both divas alive with both eyes, most their hair, and out of jail: Bette Davis as the nostalgic Jane and Joan Crawford as Blanche. TGTPTU hosts cover the Oscar shenanigans and personas of these two great ladies of early cinema. Speaking of, WEH2BJ was nominated for five Academy Awards. This was Davis's tenth nom, and at the time she would have had the most Oscar wins for Best Actress if the picture had won her her third. Unfortunately, the film won only for an obsolete category (Best Costume Design, Black-and-White). And (strikethrough as appropriate one of the subsequent adverbs after listening to the discussion) deservedly/somehow garnered Victor Buono a nomination as Best Supporting Actor. Stans of the pod are forewarned that a Season 1-3 bit returns thanks to the evils of Davis's character's choice of dishes to feed her sister. Other listeners are forewarned that there will be much discussion of the can't-believe-it-exists films Trog (1970) and Who Slew Auntie Roo? (1972).

Chop up those rats and tomatoes and practice your vaudeville act because we're joined by guest Tyrone Williams to discuss Robert Aldrich's What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962).

Plus: overusing the word "cloche", Oscar talk, a neat vs on the rocks hard liquor tangent, accusations of familiarity, a queer reading of Edwin, and debate about whether Blanche lives or dies.References: > Shaun Considine.

Show Notes We have a second helping of Orson Welles this week with 1958's Touch of Evil. Once we maneuver past Charlton Heston in brown face and Janet Leigh as the whitest white person that ever set foot in Mexico, there are some absolutely spectacular things in this movie, largely down to Welles' direction and acting, both of which are superlative.

On this special episode, we are joined by Archie, a returning friend of the pod, to take another trip back to the crazy 90's and talk about the wild film Natural Born Killers! It's a frenzied, psychedelic onslaught of violence with satirical takes on American culture, the media and sensationalism of said violence. The film is like a fierce storm of frightening, surreal and hypnotic imagery that just doesn't let up. Is it deep or dumb? You decide!

In this fantastic episode I am joined by cinema podcast goddess NIKKI E of HERE'S LOOKING AT YOU FILM podcast. We deep dive into Robert Aldrich's "psycho-bitty" classic WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE.
Jack and Joe are joined by Dr. Becca Hayes (scientist, Pittsburgh improv comedian, and Joe's partner) to talk about the wildly troubling, weirdly campy, and terrifyingly not-supposed-to-be-funny Mommie Dearest (1981), winner of the second-ever Razzie Award for Worst Picture. But we don't just tackle the film -- Jack directly compares it to the memoir it's based on to highlight the differences between these accounts of Joan Crawford's problematic parenting. We dig into the life-threateningly glaring omissions, reminisce on Cabbage Patch dolls and other childhood toys, somehow manage to reference the Simpsons and F. Scott Fitzgerald multiple times, and accidentally provide Jack with a therapy session regarding narcissism and parenting through a conversation on the Internet with ACTUAL NUANCE! Also, in a DeRazzled first, we get an alternative fix for this movie from our guest! Pour yourself a Pepsi, throw out your wire hangers, and awkwardly strap yourself into bed as you enjoy this one.

Some movies stand out for being great, some stand out for being terrible and some stand out for how juicy the behind-the-scenes stories are. There's always been more gossip about the behaviour of What Ever Happened To Baby Jane co-stars Bette Davis and Joan Crawford than there's been talk about the movie itself. And art imitated life because the actresses playing the sisters in Robert Aldrich's thriller had a mutual hate affair. Crawford has the subdued role as the paraplegic former movie star while Davis gets to eat every little bit of that lovely scenery as the alcoholic former child star. They're tremendous. It's a long movie though, considering their conflict is pretty much the entire reason this film exists. We also didn't think the twist holds up. Still, you can't beat juicy and Baby Jane is that, as is the gossipy jabber in the 451st Ellises' Analysis. So guzzle down some Sparkplug Coffee while you hear us talk about Jane guzzling her booze.

Denise bringt das Videospiel "Until Dawn" (2015) mit, das vor klischeehaften Charakteren nur so strotzt und trotzdem (oder gerade deshalb?) eine Menge Spaß macht.

Just in time for Halloween we have something a little creepy, a little campy, and a whole lot disturbing. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? quickly became a cult favorite in large part due to Bette Davis's unhinged performance as aging former child star Baby Jane Hudson caring for her disabled sister Blanche (Joan Crawford). Hugely influential in popular culture, Baby Jane has been imitated and parodied countless times. But there is something about this film that rises above its cult-camp reputation. There is real pain and terror and mental illness here that leaves us unsure whether to laugh or cry or cringe. Subscribe in Apple Podcasts, Android, or Spotify. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

The lore attached to the film alone might be enough to spark your interest, but the movie itself packs a punch as well. Then we have the indie sweetheart Sunshine Cleaning, starring possibly our favorite film sister pairing ever, Amy Adams and Emily Blunt. Need we say more? Enjoy!

Da 5th episode! It’s the week of June 21-27, 2020 and hosts Stevie Anderson and Kate Santos unpack all the astro shifts we will be experiencing including: the Solar Eclipse in Cancer, the end of Venus Retrograde, and Mars moving into Aries. We start off the week with the powerful New Moon Solar Eclipse at ZERO degrees Cancer on June 21st. What a way to kick off Cancer season! Eclipses are always full of surprises and astrologically they can move us via unexpected twists and turns. Cancer energy is focused on our surroundings both physically and emotionally. Crabs like to feel comfortable wherever they are. The hosts chat about the psychological yet hilarious thriller, What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962). The film is centered around a twisted sibling relationship, starring famed rivals Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Through their bizarre home space we see what can happen when we descend into madness. This eclipse will have us all reconsidering all the company we keep. After 40 days, Venus stations direct on June 25th. The Retrograde is over! Gemini Venus is asking us to say what is on our mind and to not be shy about what we want, like the characters in Tangerine (2015). This film is a comedy-drama (hello, Gemini vibes) and was shot completely on iPhones (Gemini inventiveness at work!) and follows two BFF transgender sex workers on a frenzied romp around Hollywood. Mars, our planet of action and self, is entering Aries, the sign it rules over. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and expresses the Martian themes of fighting for oneself and channeling the warrior within. Previous CherryPick’s Choice Da 5 Bloods (2020) directed by Spike Lee, is a war film that goes beyond the call of duty. In pure Aries fashion, this film doesn’t hold back. The film effectively expresses Aries Mars energy by putting it all out there, whether it makes you comfortable or not—it’s all about the authenticity. FILMS SUGGESTED What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?

After a discussion for roughly the first 20 minutes where Jack mentions the latest Cinema-Con, where the National Association of Theater Owners (or, and don't laugh, NATO), get together with the studios for a trade/industry convention to check out what's going on with new movies (Jack and Andrew also briefly talk about the latest JUSTICE LEAGUE trailer), and in this discussion a major component being how studios may decide to go to a faster streaming/on-demand service system for new titles and what that means, WE TALK ABOUT MOVIES! Of course we do! That's all we do! That's all we'll ever do! We're movie Terminators, Kyle Reese! ... Sorry, went off on a tear there. The movies this week range from the classic and notorious when it comes to "campy" movies involving Bette Davis and Joan Crawford; a long-awaited follow-up to a cult Scottish dramedy; a documentary about... tickling (no really, but about much more); a King Kong remake-cum-tribute by Peter Jackson (and a 1970's King Kong knock-off that was distributed later by Quentin Tarantino!); Anne Hathaway also as a giant monster... sort of, not really, listen more about why; and a samurai movie from the 60's that may inspire the new Star Wars. Listen in! 1) Cinema Con Discussion (w/ JUSTICE LEAGUE reaction) 2) WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? (1962) 3) MOMMIE DEAREST (1981) 4) KING KONG (2005) 5) THE MIGHTY PEKING MAN (1977) 6) COLOSSAL (2017) 7) TICKLED (2016) 8) T2: TRAINSPOTTING (2017) 9) THREE OUTLAW SAMURAI (1964) wagesofcinema@gmail.com CORRECTION TO MOMENT IN PODCAST: Ginger Hayden (from comment left in episode 77.2) - THANK YOU for your comment on Susan Hayward!

I'm comparing Robert Redwine to all the people that you expected something out of, oh no, here we go. Did any of you see WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? This starred Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. Well Bette Davis USE TO BE a fantastic star at one time, where she even had "baby jane" dolls in her honor, but she fell by the wayside and her sister, Joan Crawford was crippled in a car accident - (you have to see the movie) well now - that fits REDWINE to a "T". I can see Robert now, in those sloppy flippy floppy swish sounding house shoes Bette Davis wore, and she DRANK until her BREATH STANK - that's ROBERT 2 A T. Enough about WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO ROBERT REDWINE, now known as BETTE REDWINE - come on now, I know ya'll like that, don'tcha? Ya gotta. 347-205-9366. KINGS IN THE MORNING - there is no telling what you will discover here. You may even learn things about yourself, you never knew - THIS SHOW AIN'T FOR EVERYBODY! 347-205-9366
In an Empire podcast first, readers posed their Twitter questions, queries and grievances on movie ratings direct to the man who oversees classifications on a daily basis, BBFC executive director David Austin. Why was Gremlins rated 15? Why did What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? go from an 18 to 12? What’s a 12A for, anyway? What happened with A Good Day To Die Hard? We made Austin a cup of tea, showed him to the hot seat and fired your questions at him for 55 fascinating minutes.
