Movie Meltdown - Episode 591

This episode we sit down with actor Michael Paré and discuss his impressive and lengthy career. Plus we also rundown some of our personal favorites of Michael’s movies.  

And as we dig into the films of John Carpenter in the 1990s, we also delve into… Eddie and the Cruisers, the camera knows where you’re going, The Blasters, Walter Hill, above reproach, werewolf movies, Bruce Dern, The Philadelphia Experiment, four days in full prosthetics, not everybody can be an actor, searching for cryptids, Jim Steinman, Tom Berenger, shooting on a virtual reality LED set, this is an artist, Village Of The Damned, Eric Red, Jane Goodall, you can’t say no to Diane Lane, Nix, Cigarette Burns, working in a kitchen, John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band, Willem Dafoe, Sacred Grounds, Crazy Times, Jeff Bridges, subconscious demons, flirting with girls, Dan Hartman, Bad Moon, Chevy Chase, the dog’s POV and the challenge of marketing an eclectic movie. 

“I don’t know if anybody is prepared for their first time in Hollywood.”

Our Double Feature madness continues! This week Graham makes his return to chat Willem Dafoe, strippers, and motorcycles as we cover 1981's The Loveless and 1984's Streets of Fire. 

Ben and Jesse resume their podcast-within-the-podcast miniseries where each selects a movie and they watch them both together and talk about it. This time, we've set aside our usual business and sci-fi in favor of two movies about rock and roll, sort of: Stuart Murdoch's God Help the Girl and Walter Hill's Streets of Fire.

It's time to hit the road this summer. Feel the wind in your hair. Get into a fist fight with a couple of toughs with your girlfriend at your side singing rock ballads just before you drive off a cliff and return from the dead. Or you could just join Corey and Maddy as they discuss infamous biker films 'Psychomania' and 'Streets of Fire' in the first of two biker movie episodes this summer.
