Aging stardom, delusion, ambition, and the ruthless machinery of Hollywood collide in Billy Wilder’s Sunset Blvd, one of cinema’s most haunting masterpieces. In this episode, me and my guest Beau, dive deep into the shadowy world of Norma Desmond — the forgotten silent‑film icon whose hunger for relevance spirals into obsession — and Joe Gillis, the struggling screenwriter who becomes trapped in her gilded cage. We also talk about all sorts of other stuff, too!
