Producer review

Entertaining visual excess; well-cast Wasson except claustrophobic face

Approx. transcript time · 00:53:56Read transcript
  • The invited first-time reaction initially mistakes Relax for a dream, then finds the unexpected on-set sequence compelling and entertaining.
  • The final invited response loves the film’s excessive ambition, personal cynicism, beauty and A-list craft applied to a B-movie genre, while doubting that it has a deep message.
  • Wasson is defended as well cast and effective except for the claustrophobic face; possible later roles are discussed without a convincing match.

Probably Unanswerable Questions

Dog’s survival; phone confidant; whole-film dream; hypothetical casting consequences

Approx. transcript time · 01:06:41Read transcript
  • The dog is tentatively linked with White Dog, and its survival is imagined rather than established; Sam’s failure to swim also raises a question.
  • Whether Sam was also the man with Jake’s girlfriend is briefly wondered and considered unlikely.
  • Gloria’s payphone confidant is unidentified; an affair is presumed as a possible motive but remains speculative.
  • Jake’s physical suitability for adult performance is wondered about because his initial characterization seems inconsistent with his comfort there.
  • A hypothetical accidental casting of underage Traci Lords raises questions about removing footage or withdrawing tapes; the discussion distinguishes ordinary acting from explicit scenes and remains speculative.
  • The most humiliating sexual position to discover a partner in becomes a crude hypothetical, with doggy style proposed and a Longlegs joke added.
  • The whole story might be Jake’s claustrophobic fantasy: the spinning kiss, reservoir unreality and restored job suggest either an opening-set episode or acting-class trauma as a starting point.
  • An imagined De Palma interview confirming the dream theory is explicitly not a real statement he made.

What’s Aged the Worst?

Disguise stereotype; acting teacher; chaste adult-film world; Jake; Sam’s plan

In the discussion (5)

  • The acting teacher and calling the disguised killer the Indian are criticized.
  • The conspicuous absence of drug use in the adult-film setting feels implausibly chaste.
  • Jake revealing the truth before sex with Holly is questioned, though his loser characterization offers an explanation.
  • Jake’s coffee-drinking manner and Wasson’s difficult screen presence may limit the film’s appeal, alongside its challenging surreal satire.
  • Sam’s needlessly complex murder plot and releasing the film against The Terminator are criticized.
