Revy

My go to for obscure movies. Their selections are pure gold.

Indian Runner Based on Bruce Springsteen Song

The characters and general story come from the Bruce Springsteen song Highway Patrolman of his 1982 masterpiece Nebraska. There is also the title track which tells the story of Charles Starkweather
Which inspired Badlands. Springsteen also has a song called Badlands. Anyways love the show.

Overall...awesome!

Update: it would be fantastic if Elric stopped giving a synopsis of what happens in a movie before the New Bev shows it. Be more general, man. We don’t need to know the twists and turns that surprised you (ie Sparkler). 3.5 stars.

I really enjoy this pod and have found some fun movies because of it. That feeling of discovering something new you like them finding more movies from there is wonderful. The guests are great but my only complaint is that Elric talks a lot. Like a lot. I much prefer Brian’s approach of asking a question and letting the guest speak abs engage with them. Not just talk. If it’s the two of them talking, no problem but it gets to me after awhile otherwise.
