58:21 – This time around we celebrate love in its strangest forms. From Hammer Film’s early seventies obsession with ‘strange love’ in the form of lesbian vampires, cross gender mad scientists and crazed killers with father issues, through woman-eating trees, marriage phobia and marrying oneself, to the redemptive power of disco. And remember – love is love, no matter how strange or weird it might be.
