“De Palma De Palma De Palma De Palma De Palma De Palma De Palma De Palma De Palma De Palma.” Say it out loud enough times and it just because an abstract sound, but for the Optic Nerds, “De Palma” only means one thing: “Brian.” And so, for episode 16, the Optic Nerds take a look at three of Brian De Palma’s thrillers: “Sisters” [aka “Blood Sisters”] (1973), “Dressed To Kill” (1980) and “Raising Cain” (1992). Expect spoilers, heated discussions, bad singing, the obligatory mention of “Scarface” (1983) and a shocking revelation regarding one ‘Nerd’s view on “Phantom Of The Paradise” (1974)! This episode contains a brief sample of the song “We Are Family” by Sister Sledge (from their album “We Are Family”), a small snippet of the track “Lola” by The Kinks (from their album “Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One”) and a brief section of the song “Copy Of A” by Nine Inch Nails (from the album “Hesitation Marks”).
