Description

We begin the 9th Annual Month Of Bev by chatting about a cult classic about punks, Reaganomics and odd automobiles. Repo Man was Alex Cox's debut (Sid And Nancy came 2 years later) and it was also very early in Emilio Estevez's film career. The man who would basically stop acting in films about 15 years later is just okay in this. He's joined in this sci-fi/comedy by veteran character actors like Tracey Walter and Harry Dean Stanton. The movie still touches Bev's Gen-X heart, despite a clunky middle section and an unsatisfying ending. This is a weird one, but you have to admire that everyone involved embraces that. So drive your Chevy Malibu across the country, no matter what danger the trunk contains, and follow the code as our 560th pieces through Repo Man.   To Be Clear...: Gary Oldman's co-star in Sid & Nancy was Chloe Webb (playing Nancy Spungen). Also, Sy Richardson WAS indeed one of the writers of Mario Van Peebles' Posse.   Since repo men spend most of their day sitting in their cars, they could use Sparkplug Coffee. You can snag some of that with a onetime 20% discount by using our "HYES" promo code.

Ryan and Bev Ellis are partners in film nerdery who share their often humorous musings on the AFI's 1998 & 2007 lists of the greatest 100 American films ever made. But we finished with that in December 2015, so now we just review anything we feel like!
