I spy our next episode’s film being watched…. (It’s Alex Cox’s Repo Man)
Harry Dean Stanton and Emilio Estevez in Alex Cox’s Repo Man. They’re sitting in the front seat of an old car, and Stanton is telling Estevez “look at those assholes over there. Ordinary fucking people, I hate ‘em.”

Now that Andor is over, you may be asking yourself "Where can I go to get my weekly dose of intimidating women doing heists?"

We have the answer: our new episode on Hong Kong's THE HEROIC TRIO!

A shot from 1993 Hong Kong fantasy action movie THE HEROIC TRIO of Maggie Cheung about to toss a lit stick of dynamite, wearing a leather jacket and extremely 90s sunglasses and standing among a bunch of steel beams.

YES you're 100% right! Good call.
A shot from John Carpenter's THEY LIVE (1988), where "Rowdy" Roddy Piper is standing in a bank lobby holding a shotgun and saying "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum." He's wearing sunglasses and he looks cool as hell. There's an American flag in the background.

BLOW OUT is probably our favourite entry in the "sarcastic use of the American flag" competition, but let's be honest, there are plenty of options.

What are your faves?
Nancy Allen in BLOW OUT (1981), screaming and reaching out for help in front of a giant American flag George C. Scott in PATTON (1970), saluting the troops in front of a giant American flag Terry Crews and Luke Wilson in IDIOCRACY (2006), riding on a motorcycle with American flags flying and wearing a suit patterned after the American flag Johnny Depp in FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS (1998) in a gaudy hotel room with an American flag draped behind him

It's time for a quintessential art/trash classic - Brian de Palma's 1981 thriller BLOW OUT! 👀👀👀

Listen wherever you get podcasts! stream.redcircle.com/episodes/6aa...
The Criterion Collection dvd cover for BLOW OUT (1981, director Brian de Palma). Features John Travolta's character sitting defeatedly in his sound recording office, tapes and cassettes and boxes strewn everywhere, clearly just been robbed.

Wouldn’t you know it, life gets in the way sometimes! We’ll be back up with an episode soon as we deal with things like death and taxes.

Us arriving to deliver good news for your Monday (it's that our episode on Pacific Rim is out today)
A still from the 2013 movie Pacific Rim where a giant mech robot has arrived to save a little girl. The mech is standing among the debris of a destroyed city, bathed in golden light from behind, and looks heroic as fuck. You find out later it's being piloted by Idris Elba, who is great in this movie.
