Listen "118: The Getaway (1972) and Midnight Special (2016)"
Episode Synopsis
Text Matt & Adam!On the lam is the theme for this week. Sam Peckinpah's "The Getaway" (1972) is based on the pulp novel written by Jim Thompson and stars Steve McQueen. With all that going for it, you'd think it would be a really good film, but it's just not. It's not bad but could have been better with a recast of the two leads. "Midnight Special" (2016) is the opposite as Michael Shannon heads a great cast for this pseudo-sci fi thriller. Matt wishes this cast could do a remake of "The Getaway". Definitely underrated. Next, I love this stupid movie with "Rhubarb" (1951) and "The Stoned Age" (1994).Thanks for listening!Did we get something wrong? Have your own recommendations?
