We’re thrilled to welcome back author and Who? Weekly co-host Bobby Finger this week to talk about a fun modest thriller that helped turn one of our favorites into an industry darling. In 2001, director duo Scott McGehee and David Siegel brought thriller adaptation The Deep End<\/em> to Sundance starring queer art cinema icon Tilda Swinton. As a mother who goes to great lengths to protect her closeted teenage son who she suspects of murdering his older lover, Swinton is a revelation and perhaps gave the first signs that she was at home in traditional fare as she was in the avant garde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This episode, we talk about our love for Swinton and she joins our Six Timers Club. We also talk about the wide-reaching but under-discussed filmography of McGehee\/Siegel, Goran Visnjic’s moment in time, and Lake Tahoe as a thriller vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topics also include Joe’s ABC era, our favorite Tilda performances, and the 2001 Best Actress race.<\/p>\n
