“The Visitor” (1979) is chaos in Downtown Atlanta
When film programmer Millie De Chirico was on The Boom (https://www.wabe.org/podcasts/the-boom/millie-de-chirico-keeps-cult-classics-alive-and-well/), we asked her what cult films she recommended that had an Atlanta connection. One of the recommendations was Michael J. Paradise’s “The Visitor (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080100/),” a sci-fi, horror romp through the heart of Atlanta. Millie returns to The Boom to discuss the film with Jewel, Ian Deaton (composer, writer, and musician who also happens to work at Videodrome) (https://www.videodromeatl.com/), and WABE podcast producer Kevin Rinker.
