Each week, we tackle a \"classic\" of film history but do these films actually hold up for a modern audience? Can they entertain someone who grew up on Spider-Man reboots and Jim Carrey movies, or will they forever be relics of a bygone era?","last_synced_at":"2026-06-07T12:18:24.050905+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cinema-spectator-744732"},"episode":{"title":"Deathtrap (1982)","slug":"deathtrap-1982","published_at":"2026-05-26T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cinema-spectator-744732/deathtrap-1982","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cinema-spectator-744732","url":"https://cinemaspectator.podbean.com/e/deathtrap-1982/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/e4jkmgcxmdztxf6g/Deathtrap.mp3","summary":"Continuing our series on the films of Sidney Lumet, we take a look at Deathtrap (1982). Based on Ira Levin’s hit stage play, the film follows a struggling playwright who becomes obsessed with a script written by one of his students. What follows is a series of twists, double-crosses, and surprises that make Deathtrap feel remarkably modern for a thriller of its era. Anchored by strong performances from Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve, the film keeps finding new ways to pull the rug out from under its audience. Enjoy our discussion of one of Lumet’s most unique and entertaining films. Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle.
