Friday, 4 September, 2026
This week on So I Married a Film Critic, we turn up the heat with Lawrence Kasdan’s steamy 1981 neo-noir Body Heat, starring Kathleen Turner and William Hurt. We both loved this sexy, suspenseful classic—but Barry’s love for Kathleen Turner may be just a little more enthusiastic than Julia’s as emphasized by the many windchime references. IYKYK!We talk about what makes Body Heat such an enduring erotic thriller, from Kathleen Turner’s unforgettable breakthrough performance as the seductive Matty Walker to William Hurt’s overly sweaty, morally questionable Ned Racine. We dig into the film’s twists, chemistry, cinematography, dialogue, and its clever reworking of classic film noir conventions.Is Body Heat one of the best erotic thrillers of the 1980s? Has Kathleen Turner ever been more magnetic? And just how much trouble can one man get himself into when he falls for the wrong woman?Join us for a fun conversation about Body Heat, Kathleen Turner, William Hurt, 1980s movies, neo-noir, film noir, erotic thrillers, classic movies, and what makes a movie impossible to resist.Follow us behind the scenes on Instagram @soimarriedafilmcritic_podcast.
