Heavenly Creatures

We end Pride Month with a look at a film that chronicles one of the most infamous murders in New Zealand, Heavenly Creatures. Starring Melanie Lynskey and Kate Winslet, it follows the two young women who are looking for their places in the world and find each other. When they're forced to be separated, they hatch a plan to try and stay together that ends in tragedy. It might not sound like a Peter Jackson film, but it is, and it's spectacular. Alamo Drafthouse's Josh Stewart join Chris to talk about the film, Jackson's filmography, and the two leads. You can follow Chris Stachiw at @ChrismasClaus and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.
