Let’s talk about Lawrence Kasdan’s 1981 salute to the film noir genre: Body Heat. William Hurt plays a lustful, and frankly not very bright, lawyer who gets seduced into murdering a rich woman’s husband, only to discover he may have been the one being played all along. Kathleen Turner is the femme fatale who uses her body to turn off Hurt’s upper brain to have him do her bidding.
We saw this film in 1981 and in 2026, and it hit us differently in our sixties than it did when we first saw it during another Carson City heat wave. In fact, we didn’t finish it last night. We explain why. As an aside, we thoroughly spoil this forty-five year old classic.
We toured three local independant books stores: Thistle and Nightshade, Between the Covers, and Bub’s Bookstore. We had fun and we spent money. We discuss each in the podcast.
We salute those on the front lines of the Bug Fire and those frontline workers at your favorite dining establishment (good morning, Jack!).
Please consider voting for us as “America’s Favorite Couple,” and maybe donate a little pocket change to the two worthy charities connected to this contest. We’ve gotten quite a bit of local exposure from this contest and we hope to keep that going.
Our two latest releases are on our bookstore and the platforms, starting for “#HauntSeason,” the sequel to “#PassionRestored,” a heartfelt supernatural romance that blends eerie paranormal mystery with the enduring strength of love.
The most recent entry in the “Salvation Universe” is “Defying Salvation,” the sequel to “Finding Salvation,” a thought-provoking science fiction thriller that explores faith, survival, and the cost of humanity’s future.
Appearances:
– August 25: CC will be doing an author talk at the Churchill County Library.
– September 19: We will be at Reno Pagan Pride Project at Idlewild Park.
– October: many events. More information as we get closer.
That’s all for now. Take care of you. LYL!
