Stephen King Week: Carrie (1976)

Carrie 1976 movie review from the Salty Nerds have them discussing Brian de Palma's horror movie masterpiece that successfully adapted Stephen King's first novel into a feminist allegory for smashing the patriarchy.   Sissy Spacek stars as the titular Carrie White.  She's bad at volleyball, doesn't know what a period is, and can movie stuff with her mind.  Nancy Allen is busy hating her while she isn't getting slapped around by John Travolta, and Amy Irving is trying to hook Carrie up with her boyfriend William Katt when she isn't getting hit on by Steven Spielberg.   Forget the telekinesis, probably the scariest thing in this whole movie is Piper Laurie as Carrie's crazy religious mother.  Well, that and all the 70s bush on display.   What is your Carrie movie review?  Did you like it?  Hate it?  Are they all going to laugh at you?  Let us know in our Discord community!  You can join up for free here:  http://www.saltynerddiscord.com And if you are a fan of a good horror movie and horror movie podcast, and also enjoy a good scifi podcast, fantasy podcast, and movie review podcast, then you owe it to yourself to check out our members area.  For just $5 a month you get 4 new episodes and access to a huge back catalogue of hilarious, uncensored, and ad-free reviews of classic movies and TV shows - all for less than the price of a cup of coffee!  If you like our content and want to support us, consider joining up here:  ▷ SUPPORT THE SHOW: http://www.saltynerdclub.com/  By becoming a Patron of the Salty Nerd Podcast you help us to create great content AND get awesome perks!
