THIS EPISODE OF OUR PATREON-ONLY MARATHON SERIES IS AVAILABLE TO LISTEN IN FULL HERE! MORE EPISODES ON PATREON.COM/UNCUTGEMSPOD!!
In this episode of our Mike Nichols Marathon we are joined by a very special guest, Neil LaBute, who is here with us to talk about the fourth movie in this filmmaker's catalogue, namely the 1971 Carnal Knowledge. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how Nichols bounced back after Catch-22 was poorly received by going back to basics, how the genius of this movie lies somewhere between casting, writing direction and singular performances from the entire cast and how this movie holds immense value today. We also touch on the ways in which Carnal Knowledge informed Neil LaBute's own work in In the Company of Men and Your Friends & Neighbors, how Nichols sneaks in elements of humor into an otherwise a terrifying set of scenarios and who would have been the next best cast if the foursome Nichols cast hadn't been available at the time.
