WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BETTE & JOAN? EPISODE 6 – I Saw What You Did and Burnt Offerings
Welcome to another episode of What Ever Happened to Bette & Joan?, an ongoing journey through late-era Bette Davis & Joan Crawford. This week, our travels through grand dame guignol cinema comes to a close as we see Bette & Joan once again finding themselves unable to escape the genre that gave their careers new life following the release of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? in 1962. This time around, the two screen divas enjoy a pair of supporting roles in 1965’s I Saw What You Did featuring Joan Crawford, and 1976’s Burnt Offerings, featuring Bette Davis. While lacking in meaty material, the two films still manage to give each of them a show-stopping moment or two before they make their horrifically dramatic exits. Critic and podcaster Nathan Flynn joins me as we determine why one film is understandably tough to find and why the other is an underrated horror classic.

YOUR HOST
Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, What Ever Happened to Bette & Joan?)
Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
Nathan Flynn (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews)
Nathan Flynn is the resident goofball of One of Us. Net, often found overly caffeinated, slightly stoned, and ready to unleash the hottest takes imaginable. As the resident Letterboxd Lunatic, his movie opinions are as bold as his love for Top Gun: Maverick — a film he considers less of a movie and more of a religion. When he’s not passionately defending his latest cinematic obsession, Nathan manages a comedy club in downtown Austin, where he’s somehow avoided being heckled… so far. Around here, he’s usually the punching bag, but hey, someone’s gotta do it.
