Giant (1956)
6/8/20261 hr 18 min
‘Giant’ may be remembered as James Dean’s final film, but there is so much more to the story. Chris and Lizzie dive into the making of the classic 1956 film, why James Dean and Rock Hudson couldn’t stand each other, and how Elizabeth Taylor found herself caught between the two. Find out how homophobia tore Rock Hudson’s life apart, why director George Stevens constantly fought with James Dean, and how Dean’s untimely death prior to the end of production set the film on a totally different course.

Hello, dear listeners. Before we dive into our main episode today on Giant, I wanna remind you that I got the opportunity to host the Vampire Lestat After Dark, the official companion show for The Vampire Lestat, which is of course the third season of Interview with the Vampire on AMC. I had the best time talking to the cast and crew of the show, which by the way is absolutely amazing, and this season blew me away. It is bonkers. You're not ready for it. Episodes air every Sunday night on AMC and AMC+. And make sure you watch The Vampire Lestat After Dark on AMC+ to dive deeper into every episode. Lastly, thank you all for listening. You're the reason I got such an amazing opportunity like this. And now on with the show.
