“Body of Evidence” (1993)

Portland at the Movies

Well, we’re finally reviewing the movie that spawned this whole podcast: Madonna’s 1993 throwback/thriller/noir/erotic courtroom drama that dares to ask the question: “Can you screw someone to death?” We dare to ask the question: “Is this movie as bad as its reputation holds? Is it that bad in comparison to the other Portland films we’ve been subjected to in the past?” Light your candles, bust out the light bulbs, and allow yourself to be seduced by the billowy curtains (and the Green Goblin) in this installment of Portland at the Movies. (Note: For the Madonna fans who found their way here, yes, I’m aware I accidentally said “Who’s That Girl” instead of “Shanghai Surprise” when talking about Madonna and Sean’s movie. We’re just going to have to be OK with that. Don’t come for me.)
