Episode 170 - Tommy Guns and Roses

We finally got the whole gang back together again for a long, drunken, food-filled episode, with a truly apocalyptic amount of rambling. We look at two movies that explore the life of notorious bank robber John Dillinger. First up is 1973's Dillinger, from maverick writer/director John Milius, with Warren Oates playing the titular character. It is a rough and rowdy tale of criminals and the big strong lawmen who are chasing them down. It's violent, and full of that signature Milius dialogue. We follow that up with 1979's The Lady in Red from the killer combination of John Sayles and Lewis Teague. It focuses more on a young woman played by Pamela Sue Martin who has a VERY rough life then meets Dillinger at the diner where she works and they fall in love. This one is also very rough in spots, with the main character being subjugated, beaten and mistreated in a myriad of ways. We all loved both movies and recommend them fully. Let us know what you'd like us to look at next by writing to flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com.  You can also reach us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. 

 

Episode 169 - Stoned Wheelers

We have gotten the gang back together...sort of...for this episode of the podcast. In what can only be described as "The best we can do at the moment" we present a hodge-podge of recordings and a metric ton of rambling as we look at two classic motorcycle movies of the 70s. Thanks to a great recommendation from Craig, we were turned on to the 1974 Australian classic "Stone" which none of us had heard of before. It completely deserves it's legendary status and kicked ass in every way possible. We follow that up with also excellent 1973 British flick "The Death Wheelers" ( aka Psychomania ). It's a much more light-hearted affair, but still a unique twist on the biker genre and total blast. Let us know what you'd like us to look at next by writing to flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com.  You can also reach us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
