Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:03:57 — 29.3MB)

We’ve talked ABOUT Carpenter on this pod, but it’s high time we actually TALK CARPENTER on this pod, youknowwhatImean?

That’s right! You can practically hear that 70s synth, can’t you? We dig into John Carpenter’s splashy sophomore effort that took the 1977 Cannes film festival by storm. Cops and crooks must ban together, Rio Bravo style, to protect themselves from hordes of silent street gangs. Hear us awkwardly explore the movie’s controversial themes, compare its cutting edge style with today’s fluffy studio films, and of course, get into a whole discussion about Dubya’s paintings. You know. Like you do.

Oh, also, Mark releases the mother of all belches. Stay tuned for that. Or don’t. I’m not your mom.
