About this listen

This week, Chain Link Theater steps out of the shadow of Xanadu to follow the understated elegance of a Hollywood mainstay. We’re tracing the silver-screen poise of Joseph Cotten from the inner circle of the Mercury Theatre to the sweltering, overcrowded streets of 1973’s Soylent Green.

We’ll explore how Kane’s oldest friend transitioned from the heights of the Golden Age to the gritty realism of the 70s, playing the high-society victim whose ***** kicks off cinema’s most infamous culinary conspiracy. Is it a haunting eco-thriller ahead of its time, or just a grim recipe for the future?

Mind the humidity and watch your rations—we’re uncovering the secret ingredient of Soylent Green.
