Description
This week, The Pitch's Abby Olcese throws on a vest and electric guitar to join us for a couple Travolta/Cage obscurities filled with both ironic and unironic pleasures!
First, there's Shout, the rockin-est, rollin-est, bone-deep silliest (not to mention white savioury) '50s drama, in which a cool-as-ice music teacher played by Travolta, who brings a little slice of funk to a small-town boys academy. A James Dean lookalike pines after a young Heather Graham! Kids dance erotically at the first bars of a blues-y tune!
Then, there's the deeply underrated Red Rock West, John Dahl's gritty, atmospheric Western neo-noir starring Nic Cage as a down-and-out drifter drawn into a plot involving murder, mistaken identity, and Dennis Hopper wearing a bolo tie. It's a thrilling little potboiler, well worth your time (and now available on Peacock!)
