Episode Synopsis

Likely your parents told you to never pick up hitchhikers. But did C. Thomas Howell follow that advice back in 1986? Of course not! He stopped for Rutger Hauer on an empty desert highway in West Texas, and let’s just say he learned his lesson but good. It’s a B-movie grindhouse game of cat-and-mouse that has managed to gain a cult following over the years, but one that probably wouldn’t work as well in 2024, what with all our newfangled phone technology and freeways and such. Bottom line, they don’t make ‘em like this anymore…or do they?
