Episode 71 - Swing Shift (with Lily Mend)

Episode Summary

This week, my guest and I discussed Christine Lahti and her nomination for her role in Jonathan Demme's SWING SHIFT, as well as a larger discussion about the infamously rocky production of the movie and the vast differences between Demme's work print director's cut and the eventual theatrical cut that was put out at the time.
