Ep 5.27 - Phantom of the Paradise

We open Keith's birth month-o-movies with Brian de Palma's rock n roll Faust with a soupçon of Leroux/Lubin and a heaping scoop of Paul Williams.
An excess of excess, an explosion of exploitation, a spectacle of split screens -- plus a special appearance by T.O.N.T.O.! We think it makes a perfect follow up to Velvet Goldmine.
