- 36 - Bette Davis
We kick off episode one with a look at the new book Wicked Becomes Her: Bette Davis and the Story Behind Wicked Stepmother and the filming of her final film. The 1989 film would go down as possibly her worst film, but when the star exited production she never thought the picture would be finished – or include her as its star. But Larry Cohen, the writer/director had other plans in mind.

- 31 - The Author Show – Who Nuked the Duke?
Author John William Law recently appeared on The Author Show to discuss the bookWho Nuked the Duke? and the related filmThe Conqueror: Hollywood Fallout. The interview is hosted here.
The book helped inspire a film that had its world premiere at the Newport Beach Film Festival in October 2023 and closed the Palm Beach Film Festival that same month. The author appears in the film — It’s an epic tale that spans more than 30 years. As the Cold War took hold at that dawn of the 1950s the U.S. government began a program to perfect the atom bomb. The Nevada Test Site would be the prime location for testing atomic weapons on U.S. soil. A key to the program was to reduce impact to the public by having the radioactive nuclear fallout drift “downwind” into sparsely-inhabited areas of Utah. Who Nuked The Duke? looks at the program through the camera lens and filming of the 1954 RKO epic The Conqueror. The John Wayne feature, from producer Howard Hughes, would be filmed inside the infamous Snow Canyon, “a key resevoir” of nuclear fallout. As the years ticked by cast and crew would succumb, one by one, to a host of cancers. Director Dick Powell, co-star Pedro Armendariz, leading lady Susan Hayward, co-star Agnes Moorehead, and ultimately John Wayne himself. Along with countless other cast and crew, they represent a microcosm of what happened in the Utah community where the movie was filmed. Taking an objective look back at the government program, the scientific facts behind the testing and its impact on the community, as well as the lives of the Hollywood stars, Who Nuked The Duke?offers a rare look inside movie history and the Atomic Energy program. This award-winning book was first published in 2014 and has been updated in 2023. Who Nuked The Duke?was an inspiration for the film documentary The Conqueor: Hollywood Fallout.

William Shatner was just beginning his career when he agreed to star in a low-budget horror film called Incubus. While the film had a bizarre story, a strange language and short production schedule, it would have a long path to finding a fan base and would be followed by a series of strange tragedies.

Joan Crawford died in 1977, but her career died around 1970 with her final film, Trog. Crawford’s body of work on film from 1960 until her death was primarily horror related.

And as they continued, each one was worse than the one before.
