New
Light Shed on Lianne 'Spiderbaby' Plagiarism Scandal
One
of the hosts of The Cutting Room Movie Podcast, David Pace, was caught up in
the Lianne Spiderbaby (aka Quentin Tarantino's main squeeze) plagiarism scandal
that recently shook the horror community and rattled journalistic cages
everywhere. He recently brought to the show the writer who broke the story,
Mike White (Impossible Funky Blog, The Projection Booth Podcast), and together
they revealed to Dave's co-hosts, Tom Dettloff and Joe Christiana, a sordid
tale of an American Dream gone corrupt. The aftermath of the scandal was felt
full tilt at Fangoria, where both Dave and Spiderbaby brandished their pens,
honorable and filthy, respectively, until the s hit the f.
Spiderbaby,
who's now reverted to her original name, Lianne MacDougal, publicly admitted to
plagiarizing large portions of her work for Fangoria and other publications
whose credibility has now been called into question.
The
Cutting Room Movie Podcast cut its teeth as a horror-centric movie talk show on
The Horror Palace before expanding to a more general cinema program. The hosts
strive to discuss movies in ways that are insightful, entertaining and deeply
personal, writing original reviews that serve as introductions for their
ensuing roundtable discussions. Guests have included cult-horror actor Michael
Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes, Weird Science), Producer/Director Brian Yuzna
(Re-Animator), Actress Halley Feiffer (The Squid and The Whale), academic and
writer Dr. Kim Paffenroth (author of many film criticism books), and Actress
Aarti Mann (The Big Bang Theory).
