Classic Movies Live – Season 5, Episode 28: Blink Twice
September 4, 2024
This week on Classic Movies Live, the directorial debut of Zoë Kravitz!
Originally titled Pussy Island, Blink Twice satirizes the Epstein Island scandal and tech billionaires in an unflichingly dark, but witty thriller. When tech-mogul Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites Frida and Jess (Naomi Ackie and Alia Shawkat) to a getaway on his private island, the two enthusiastically agree. An all-expenses paid vacation to a luxurious tropical paradise? How could you not?
But as the two spend more time there, they begin to realize none of the women can ever remember the previous evenings, while the men are never willing to talk about them. Furthermore, some of the groundskeepers seem to know Frida…
A director’s first film is a big deal, especially when that director is an established actor! Does Kravitz deliver the goods? Tune in for our hosts opinions… live!
