Episode Synopsis

Buckle up, movie lovers — it’s time to hit the gas!🔥In Episode 3 of Timecode⏱️🤠Cowboys, we cruise the highway with Vanishing Point (1971), the cult classic that turned a white Dodge Challenger into an everlasting symbol of freedom, fatalism, and full-throttle filmmaking.We talk the seeds of the screenplay written by a Cuban novelist (who might have also been a CIA agent) Barry Newman’s effortlessly stoic protagonist Kowalski, the mysterious DJ Super Soul, and that surreal mix of high-speed chases and ‘70s soul-searching that makes this film so indelibly iconic.We also veer off-road into other iconic car chase flicks (The French Connection, Two-Lane Blacktop) and share how Vanishing Point floored us the first time we saw it.This one’s got muscle cars, desert vibes, and a whole lot of cinematic myth-making. If you’ve ever dreamed of outrunning society with just a full tank and a fuzzed-out soundtrack, this episode’s for you.Like, comment, and subscribe if you’re riding with us each week for film nostalgia, deep cuts, and father-son film talk!#VanishingPoint #70sCinema #CultClassics #CarChaseMovies #MoviePodcast #TimecodeCowboys #BarryNewman #RoadMovies #FilmTalk #CinemaClub #FilmNerdsUnite #MovieBuffs #podcastlifeSend us a text
