#104: Repo Man (1984)
Manage episode 417104440 series 2373794
This month we explore REPO MAN, the endlessly inventive 1984 cult movie by Alex Cox. Dave remembers catching the movie on late-night cable as a teen, but it was a true blind spot for Ashley until we sat down to watch it together. Emilio Estevez stars as Otto, a bored LA punk who falls under the spell of veteran repo man Harry Dean Stanton. Along the way, we encounter rival repo gangs, government ops, junkyard philosophers, UFO conspiracy theorists, and a mysterious 1964 Chevy Malibu with something terrifying in the trunk. Join us as we dissect the Repo Code, the amazing punk sampler soundtrack, and try to figure out what this movie actually is. Absurd punk sci-fi pastiche? Or a tongue-in-cheek indictment of Reagan-era capitalism and the death of the welfare state? As Ashley often says, why not both?
