Welcome to DON’T CALL US SHIRLEY! A PARODY MOVIE PODCAST, proudly sponsored this time by Vigoronex, because sometimes love needs a little… “what did I just swallow?”
Hosted by A. J. Black and Matt Latham, Don’t Call Us Shirley! explores the breadth of cinematic parody and pastiche across the decades, tackling the great, good and obscure along the way.
In this episode, joined by Britcom Goes to the Movies co-host Rob Heath, they look at 1993’s pastiche of the 80s and 90s erotic thriller, Fatal Instinct.
Directed by comedy legend Carl Reiner, this takes aim at such famous potboilers as Basic Instinct and Fatal Attraction, but does it stoke the same fires? How well does it capture the overly serious sexiness of these titillating tales? And will Tony make a pass at Latham? Find out!
